I was just recently in Yucca Valley. I took a picture of the interstate 15 sign and today I try to make a replica to hang in my apartment. I bought all the wood at the Home Depot and I completed the artwork in my store came out really good.

Mike helped me load some cement board into my truck at Home Depot, probably when he was filming this. I was trying to do it myself, and I see these hands grab the other side, I look up, and it's him! Without even asking, he just jumped in to help me. Super good hearted guy. Thanks Mike - I left you something on PayPal a few weeks ago when you filmed this...Need more kind people in Venice like you!

@germaninvenice Год назад

Yeah of course thank you very much I remember and I was surprised for that super generous donation you gave me thanks 1000 time it was a different day when I saw you

Nice job GIV! You should keep the shop open and I will tell you why. You get a lot of positive vibes and energy from your friends and the public down there! Your shop is as much your home as your apartment is. I would share more art projects with your audience. Thank you for the video!

Hi Mike, maybe you can make postcard sized magnets of your sign or your other artwork for people to buy for $25 or so to sell in the store - higher volume, lower price?

Yes when you Mike are not doing RU-vid you go and still a street signs 😂 looks awesome I like vintage/ old street signs that no longer makes, like an old Stop sings they were yellow not red when they were in the early part of the 20th century. Thanks for sharing Mike you take care 🙏 my friend.

@Gl6619 Год назад

One thing I like as an native Angeleno is to vicariously enjoy LA through the eyes of someone who’s not originally from LA…your joy you display about LA renews my joy in my home city..you and Huel Howser are the only two who did that for me as non LA natives living in LA

@newmankidman5763 Год назад

G L66, he has been living in LA for 34 years, since 1989, so to me, that is enough time, coupled with him speaking the language and observing the culture, to consider him as being from LA. By the way, he lived in Germany for much less time than that

@adrianodasilva506 Год назад

Hello GIV I have a suggestion how about cleaning up your store paint it maybe white to reflect more light in the store then display all your art and still do your Hanna sell your art. You can also sell shirts of you surrounded by your favourite spots of the beach and LA and also hats. Other RU-vidrs are doing it. You can turn your store into a GIV souvenir shop and hire someone be there while you’re doing videos so you don’t lose business.

@MsSweetpea1958 Год назад

You made something from nothing, then photos of it , and a video plus made more friends. Your dad would be proud of all the stuff you made today!

Micheal, You're a GEM! I was laughing so hard when that sign blew over right at the end! Pure comedy gold! 😆 That's some good work on that sign! IF I get a chance to swing by L.A. from the east coast here, I promise I'll come pounding on your door. I'll buy a piece of artwork, if you buy dinner, & I'll get the drinks. Deal?

@LythaWausW 8 месяцев назад

@IceLynne Год назад

You should have postcards printed with your art and sell them in a display stand outside the door of your shop.

@alextaylor8776 Год назад

Don’t sell it, keep it for yourself GIV and put it up in your apartment, it will make you happy. What you need to do Mike is sell merchandise on your channel like a lot of people do. Come up with a cool GIV logo and put it on t-shirts, hats, mugs, hoodies, key chains etc.. a’lot of people would buy them and also why not get sponsors for your channel like many popular RU-vidrs do. You could make some great extra money, especially with the merchandise. Think about it.

@miketwomey4923 Год назад

Yes, without the pole he can sell iconic stuff like this and 101 and 66 signs internationally in a heartbeat. And his photographs are so amazing and beautiful, he is a fantastic artist and you tuber at the same time. Keep the store and do more art and you are charging far too little for your art. You are hip and popular around the world so don't underestimate the value of your work. Even though you were born in Germany you are more of an American than most of our country today and that's why I like you so much...

@miketwomey4923 Год назад

Ps, you will find a better girl who is truly in love with you and will change your life. Be picky and find the right one and not the next one dude. It is more about love than looks, lve learned from my mistakes. Just find an honest girl who is faithful and really is in love with you. You also have to be the honest and proud man to make it work. As an old man I know that you can overcome the situation and change your life life for the better. Stick with the small town cuties that still have morals and respect... I was dumped and I never got over it so please don't be like me and alone...

@spalomino18 Год назад

GIV, have you considered making your storefront a souvenir shop and local art exhibit place? Like, souvenirs of SoCal folklore, landscape and celebrities. The "partnership" with your RU-vid fame would bring people in, and you can store GIV merch! PS - you need another sign that says, "Please come in and welcome to the GIV store!". Most tourists might be too respectful or shy to enter your space if you look like you are busy working on a project! 😅

@ponyhorton4295 Год назад

I love that triptych of the bridge over the L.A. River! You should add some real bolts over the ones in the I-15 sign, make it 3-dimensional.

@miketwomey4923 Год назад

This is the first time I've seen your true artistic talent Mike and I'm really blown away. You are so talented and original in both media's that you have to share yourself to both of them. Keep your store and use you to make your artwork more famous and valuable for god sake. You are selling your art way too cheap, have some lower priced stuff for the tourists but your value is you and your personality and style of art. Get a young person who has internet skills and give them a % and watch the shop become famous and profitable...
