He specializes in restoring older or historic homes, wood work and furniture. He also re-purposes items. For example, he may take part of
a rotten dresser and use parts of to create a mirror or picture frame.
He is fond of Henry Kultho's work in Jacksonville. He has said that he would consider using part of a Kultho building, such as an architectural element and somehow create a logo out of that or using a likeness of it.

This link for Century Restoration is one he finds appealing.

However, he knew that Century Restoration used wallpaper borders from the following company in their logo. He likes these old wall papers and borders. They have a section on Arts and Crafts and that is exactly Gary's style. He loves houses and things from the Arts and Crafts Movement. So anything along those lines would be great.

He would like to get a logo that can be used on a blog or web site though he isn't that far along in business yet.

Call Gary at 904-238-3604 and the email is antiquityreconstruction@gmail.com. As with all freelance work, please do not proceed until both parties have agreed upon the price and a signed contract is in place signed by both parties.

Job Description: The American Legion is a non-profit organization offering services for veterans and promoting patriotism and knowledge of the Constitution. Every year we sponsor a speech contest called The Oratorical. High school students from 9-12 give an 8 min. speech about the Constitution and can earn up to an 18,000 scholarship. I have been tasked with advertising the scholarship and need a poster that I will put up in the local high schools. It needs to be fairly conservative and not too cutting edge as it IS the American Legion! But I would like something colorful and eye catching to draw interest. I am hoping for a poster that is about 12x18 or 24x36. The poster will need to convey the basics like my number and dates--the usual who, what, where et cetera. I just want something that won't get lost in the crowd on a bulletin board. Even though I can't pay much, I am also getting some public service announcements and TV air time and I would be happy to include a push for what ever student takes this on--naming you as the person who helped create the poster and for TV, I hope they are willing to show the poster. And it's something you could add to your portfolio, too. My phone number is 904-704-0936 and my email is meriwest454@gmail.com. Thanks!
Application Process: Email Meri with a sample of your portfolio and details about how to contact you.
Comments/Questions: We need the poster no later than mid to late September.

As with all freelance, please do not proceed unless you and the client have agreed upon a price and you have a contract signed by both parties.
