Amazing Metal Art
I can import most sketches, scans, AutoCAD files, jpegs, bitmaps, etc., and convert them for cutting.  

NOTE: Signs can vary in price. Mild steel is the cheapest, then Aluminum, then Stainless.  If a sign has a lot of detail or cutting in it, it's going to cost more than a basic sign.  Please contact me for an exact quote, but try to include as much info as you can in the email.  Thanks.
