About
Neon signs are not unique to America, but the volume and variety of signs in Austin sure are. Typically, people think of Nashville, New York or Vegas for neon signs, but there's something about the signs in Austin that makes them more refined, distinctive and special. And this is entirely the doing of Evan Voyles (The Neon Jungle). His work is synonymous with the colorful street-level skyline of Austin, giving the city a distinct and memorable character.
I fell in love with it when I first moved to Austin, with each photo that I've taken sparking different memories of the good times I've shared with people at these venues. It always makes me smile. These feelings give me a similar buzz to the signs themselves: vibrant, full of energy and color.
My feelings and memories for each sign will be different to yours, and the fact that they can evoke a range of emotions across different people is what makes them so special. The variety of feelings - the nostalgia you get from seeing these signs or a picture of one - makes it even more meaningful.
The way it can rewind the clock and give you a taste of the past is what I think makes them stunning. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do and that each sign carries a different meaning and memory for you.
