Moon, Sun, Mandragore

Description

I'm likely (wish me luck) going to be opening up a shop in a few months.


Nothing fancy, just a "Hole in the wall" store in my small town to hopefully get out of working for other people and putting up with "Multi story outhouse" management that I've dealt with.


I'll call the store "The Moon, the Sun and the Screaming Mandragore" - some Alchemetical symbols since my store is a gestalt of different things I know and can do. This is the marker breakdown of what I'll vector and also paint on glass on the front window. I'm not into the occult (these days) but I like some of the symbolism from reading about it in the past and this one really sticks in the mind and grows, in short it's "Catchy" and gets you thinking...


The "Sun" part will be that I'll rise early in the morning and serve breakfast to people since there's a market for that. That and I'll have soda, snacks, Ramen, etc. available for purchase. (and a water boiler ready with some fixin's and utensils for the Ramen)


The "Moon" will be the miscellaneous stuff I'll sell from lighters to tools to toys and curiosities to magazines. No, not "Occult" books, there's already an Occult bookstore in my town that the economy can barely support. In between this and the next I'll also fix things if I can do them.


And, the "Screaming Mandragore" will be the "Optical" part of it. I sell and make glasses in RL and like that best of all, so I'll make and sell cheap (but decent) glasses at a low price. The downtown section is where a lot of the poor people are, or go to look for work and check with the charities/beuracracy. With my skills and some equipment I have I can make glasses of a "No frills" but cheap and serviceable type to sell to them and to the charities that provide for them.


--Copyright--
Note, most of my stuff is more or less "Open sourced" and if anyone "Stole" it like by putting up one of my political cartoons in their zine or paper I'm flattered, but the shop symbolism and flyers I put up will be "Copyright", especially the logo stuff though my upcoming "Waiver" art I'd probably let another business use if they asked nice:-)

So this is going to be on your sign for the store? Looks pretty good, definitely memorable. But I have to confess the screaming mandrake seems completely random. What made you decide to add that element in>?
