  • Step into the neon world of 'God's Own Junkyard', where words come to life in vibrant, dazzling and electrifying ways! ⚡️ Nestled in an unsuspecting warehouse in East London, this neon haven is more than just a workshop-it's a shrine to the art of imagination. The Bracey family have been lighting up London since the 1960s, creating signs for some of the most iconic movies like Batman (1989), Mission Impossible (1996), The Expendables (2010) and more! Artist and Creative Director, Marcus Bracey even had curry with Stanley Kubrick after a day of filming on set of Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
    From crafting neon masterpieces for nightclubs to Hollywood blockbusters and the homes of A-list celebrities, 'God's Own Junkyard' is the ultimate destination for all things neon. And with the biggest neon collection in Europe, open for free to the public, you can only imagine their electricity bill…

    Neon signs are classic retro objects that speaks “future!” Out loud to me. Its colors are alluring to the point of hypnotic. I love neon signs.

    I adore neon! My grandfather owned a bar and when he retired, he took the neon beer signs with him...my mom ended up getting several of them. My parents also got a HUGE Margaritaville sign as well. That one sadly broke so it needs to be repaired...but god only knows how expensive that would be.
    Anyways, I've always loved neon ever since I was little and I was staring at the neon beer signs in my grandparents basement lol. They really are more then just signs...they are 100% pieces of art. I'd love to get a custom made piece...but again who knows how expensive that would end up being.

    Ever seen the made-for-TV movie "The Neon Ceiling"? One of my fondest childhood memories. Lee Remick and Gig Young and the little girl who played Violet Beauregard, the gum-chewing little girl who turned into a giant blueberry in the Gene Wilder classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Family"....I liked it not just because of the neon signs but also because the little girl got to drive a truck all alone, her character's name was the same as mine, and her mom and her dad had split up....and the music when Gig Young shows the little broken family the ceiling was fantastic....

    In this timeline it has always been
    Christopher Reeve with no S.
    Eminem remembers ReeveS.
