LaRosa Art
Made with heart, grit, and a little bit of buzz
Turn Your Hangar Into a Legend
Cool hangar bars are all the rage—and the best ones start with a piece of LaRosa Art.
At the end of the day, when the props stop spinning and the last plane is put away, everyone drifts back to LaRosa’s Skywagon Saloon. It’s where stories are told, beer is on tap and whiskey is poured neat, and the glow of neon kicks off the end of the day. Old friends and new faces gather in the fading light, sharing the kind of camaraderie only found among aviators. It’s a ritual built on rhythm and respect. Pilots are a rare breed — modern-day cowboys chasing adventure across the sky, trading horses for airspeed and fence lines for flight paths.
LaRosa’s handcrafted neon signs are built from steel and imagination—each one a tribute to the golden age of aviation. With real neon, vintage styling, and unmistakable character, these pieces will turn any hangar into legendary gathering spots.
Every legend needs a backdrop. This is yours.
LaRosa Art
Handcrafted Aviation Neon by Bryan “LaRosa” Rose
Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art—cut, bent, welded, and painted by hand, then lit with custom neon.
No mass production. No shortcuts. Just raw steel, real neon, and cowboy grit.
These aren't just signs—they're statements. Built for the hangar, the saloon, or wherever your story gets told.
Piper Cub Neon Sign
Custom-Built Aviation Neon Art by LaRosa
Born from imagination—not reproduction—this one-of-a-kind piece channels the spirit of 1940s aviation in glowing neon.
Designed by LaRosa and crafted entirely by hand, this sign didn’t exist in the golden era of flight… but it should have.
Built from 6" purlin and 1/8" steel plate, finished in automotive-grade paint with hand painted acrylic detailing, and sealed with a high-gloss clear coat then real neon tubing is added to bring the design to life—warm, nostalgic, and unmistakably classic. Handmade by LaRosa; each one is unique.

The Mind Behind the Craft
LaRosa is the kind of guy who doesn’t wait around for instructions—he builds them. With a mind wired for creativity and hands that know their way around just about any tool, he turns wild ideas into working art. If he doesn’t already know how to make something, he’ll figure it out. That’s part of the fun. Whether it's a glowing neon sign, a custom aviation piece, or something completely off the wall, LaRosa thrives on bringing your vision to life and making sure it’s one of a kind.
Thelma and Louise? Almost.
Angelle and Leslie brought the energy, the adventure, and a whole lot of laughs. Angelle surprised her husband with a custom vintage Cessna neon sign for their 30th anniversary, and LaRosa made it happen in just one week. Despite storms, cancelled flights, and a 12-hour drive through pouring rain, these two made it to Lubbock and back to New Orleans — mission accomplished. Watch the full story unfold.
