Handmade Neon
Signs are made using traditional custom neon techniques.
Handmade custom neon signs are the focus of Neon Shop Fishtail, a Chicago signmaking business opened by Tom Brickler in 1986. The shop creates business signs, custom art for residential settings, and signage for the sign industry, with work also appearing in major motion picture productions. Its offerings include neon signs, beer signs, and vintage neon, along with signs made for movies and television. Customers can imagine a design and choose colors for a sign brought to life through traditional neon-making techniques. Located at 2247 N. Western Ave., the business displays handmade work in its Chicago shop. Brickler named the original Fishtail Neon business after a fishtail ribbon burner used to form curved glass bends over fire.
