The Man Behind the World’s Sexiest Neon Signs | Original Corners

Ever wondered where Soho's sexy neon signs came from? God's Own Junkyard. This museum and workshop in Walthamstow, east London started as a passion project when Dick Bracey began collecting neon signs from funfairs and circuses. In the 70s and 80s, his son, Chris, stepped it up a notch by handmaking his own neon signs, becoming the go-to for all neon artwork in London's red light district. Now, his son Marcus is flying the flag for neon art all over the world, turning heads of celebrities and Hollywood producers from his East London base. This is their story. Meet the man behind the world's sexiest neon signs and explore inside London's sexiest (sign) museum.
