A San Francisco artist has found his calling restoring vintage signs for businesses around San Francisco.
Not far from the bright neon lights of some of the city's legacy bars and restaurants is a small studio where Manny Fabregas hones his craft.'I've always enjoyed packaging and signage and just the whole graphic aspect of it,' said Fabregas.He's been an artist his whole life. When he took a workshop on sign restoration in 2011, a brand new focus was born.
'A lot of them have wanted it for years and just didn't know who to call and who to talk to and it was kind of fortuitous for me and for them,' said Fabregas.Fabregas, who is an immigrant from the Philippines, started becoming a part of the fabric of the city he loves. He still remembers his first visit as a teenager.'The restaurants that I saw, the people, the vibrancy. It was just like bright and inviting,' he recalled.Through word of mouth, Manny's clientele grew.
