Born the second of three sons to John and Ella Briskie in 1961, Brian The Brush was raised in the abandoned subway tunnels beneath Rochester, New York's cultural district. Nourished on a steady diet of British Invasion pop music, Royal Crown Cola, Cap'n Crunch cereal and The Addams Family TV show, it was at an early age that young Brian's idiosyncrosies took shape; and it was determined that this "not-quite-right" boy would probably grow to become a not-quite-right adult.

With often overlapping careers in advertising, signs and graphics, auto show promoting, custom paint, pinstriping and airbrushing, custom car design and even professional product endorsements, all of Brian The Brush's endevours have one thing in common; Good design.

Planning a sign project or a world-class car show. Launching a new online company or striping a '58 Buick. Preparing for a lecture or gilding a window. It all boils down to design.

 

 

On May 3rd, my father passed away very unexpectedly while leaving Florida with my mom. They were moving back to New York permanently, and I had promised my dad I'd take him to see the Sign museum this summer; something he was excited about and brought up in conversation almost weekly. My family has seen a tremedous outpouring of support from friends and associates throughout this difficult time, for which we're grateful.

My blanket response to the offers of "anything we can do" would be, rather than cards, flowers or gifts, please make a donation, no matter how small or large, to The American Sign Museum in memory of John Briskie.
