Matt specializes in unique, one of a kind antiqued signs that are hand crafted and hand lettered just as they were in the golden age of advertising. Zudweg uses his own aging methods that make each piece look so authentic that just about anyone will believe they are genuine antiques. Matt has also taken his love of traditional sign art and combined it with unique furniture pieces such as coffee tables, cabinets, fly tying desks and much more.

Matt is part of a very small group of craftsman still practicing the "Lost Art" of traditional sign making, and his work has been recognized by collectors around the world. As you browse through this site you will see many designs available, most of which can be customized to fit your personal interests. If you wish, as most clients do, Zudweg can create a new design just for you whether you know exactly what you want or have only a vague idea.

You will probably also notice that many of Matt's designs revolve around fishing. This is a result of his lifelong love of the sport reflecting in his art. He believes his passion for fishing, namely fly fishing, is the reason his work has attracted many clients in the fishing industry such as Fishpond, Kaufmanns Streamborn, countless Orvis dealers, fly shops, guides and fly tiers.

Not restricted to just the fishing theme, Matt has also created thousands of signs for clients such as Max & Erma's Restaurants, The Lodge Steakhouse, Scenic Wolf Resort and many other businesses and individuals who appreciate the care and attention he puts into each handcrafted creation.
