    Hey Everyone,

    I've been working on a secret custom neon sign for my husband Pete's (pmWolf) 40th birthday for 4 months now. Yesterday, at our pinball party I finally did the reveal.

    He was totally surprised and shocked with this gift. Needless to say he absolutely loves it! We can't wait to get it hung up in the arcade.

    Specs: It's 20x33 inches
    Custom made by Neon Leon in Grand Rapids. (Who I would definitely recommend to anyone.)

    I also had Jay Jacot (awesome artist) help with the cake design for Pete's 40th. It turned out great!!

    Also...I want to send a huge thanks to Ryan Claytor, Jay Jacot and Ben and Erin Falbe for helping me pull this off. I couldn't have done it without all your help!

    You guys ROCK!

    Best...birthday...ever.

    I also desperately want an Altered Beast pinball machine now.

    #8 10 years ago

    But, but, but,...Altered Beast is a video game, not a pinball machine.

    Happy Birthday Pete! Looks like great stuff!

    Yeah, I was disgusted by the lack of realism, too. Altered Beast, the pinball??? Pssshhhhh....

    Thanks goodness a gigantic werewolf playing pinball doesn't strike anyone as unrealistic.

    (Ha!)

    It's pretty close. Obviously, the gigantic arms and pecs are pretty spot on.

    I might be a bit hairier, though.

    Happy Birthday buddy! You have an awesome wife. Julie, nice job! Pete is lucky to have you.

    #26 10 years ago

    Looks AMAZING!!!!!

    #27 10 years ago

    Figure I'd throw Ryan's concept art up here, too. While the final product is phenomenal, you do lose some details in the conversion.

    Absolutely love this design. Ryan and Julie went through about a dozen different concepts before they hit the jackpot. It's simple, elegant, and just a gorgeous design.

    All their hard work really shows in the final product. I can't thank them enough. Hands down the coolest gift I've ever received.

    I was already jealous of your arcade, and now I'm totally jealous of your neon too. Happy happy late birthday, and great work fellow pinball wife!!

    I've been trying to get a normal sign made for my arcade for awhile now, but I may have to check into doing it in neon. Thanks for the link!
