In 2020, Dill Comics began featuring sign art for small businesses throughout Brooklyn, New York. Alongside other multimedia marketing efforts, sign art was used to attract a takeout customer base. Inspired by the general public's need for reassurance and familiarity during the start of 2020, Dill Comics used bright chalk markers to illustrate menus and promotions for local businesses.
