“Love Is…” Chibi Engraved Pine Desk Signs — Inspired by the Classic 1980s Buffalo News Comic Strip

Information

      These heart-melting “Love is…” desk signs are crafted from ½-inch select pine, giving each piece a warm, solid feel that stands beautifully on its own. Every board is fully masked before engraving, then spray-painted through the engraved lines to create crisp, dark artwork once the masking is removed. The result is a clean, professional finish with rich contrast and a charming handmade touch.

This collection is a modern tribute to the beloved “Love Is…” comic panels that ran daily in the Buffalo Evening News during the 1980s. Instead of copying the originals, these signs reimagine the idea with fresh chibi-style characters, gentle expressions, and sweet everyday moments that capture what love feels like in real life.

Perfect for:
	•	Shelf or desk décor
	•	Anniversary and Valentine’s gifts
	•	Wedding shower bundles
	•	Teacher desks
	•	Nursery or family room displays
	•	Anyone who grew up seeing Love Is… panels in the Buffalo News

Handmade, nostalgic, and full of heart — these little signs deliver a warm reminder of the small things that make love feel big.
