Thats mine, pretty trick eh..?

I did the layout (tired of Helvetica and wanted to tweek it a little)and e-mailed it to Doug Allen who did an excellent job of cutting the vinyl, but obviously he farmed out the install!

I fear something got lost in the translation [Smile]

No No No Travis...
Don't believe those fellas.
Benny the Dead Guy did it on his farewell tour of Hawaii back in '85.

I love how he later expanded into pinstriping too, tucking that byline so cleverly onto the lower panel of the door. His work really has a unique freeform "swing" quality. Very refreshing.

It was me and Adrienne Morgan.
We ran out of money after our
New Years bash and had to do
some snap jobs. We had a day
on that one between us because
of all the arguing over who
would choose the colors.

Okay, it was me. [Roll Eyes]

I thought the customer's would go for that "far out, Dark Side of the Moon while smoking a bong" feel.

Here's the "how to"... [Razz]

Draw out the lettering with a torn template that you can get at the local hardware store dumpster.

Dip a large magic marker in tempera paints and apply generously to truck door over pencils.

After about fifteen minutes of trying to get the lines straight and the paint to flow evenly, give up trying and resort to simply finishing the job.

Premier the vehicle at the local gas staion you used to work for when you were 16 and entice your buddies to hire you.

Then spend approximately 15 - 25 years improving on your artistic and technical knowledge of the sign painting industry and look fondly back on this masterpiece as "the one that started it all".

You never know who's gonna be the "next one" in this biz.... [Dunno]

On my 4th copy of "Dark Side" (I wore out the first 3) [Smile]

but it's pleasing to see the apostrophe is in the right place!
well done, one day I hope to be this good!

You guys and girls are soooo clever to find my first job out like that. And that one didn't even take any application fluid!!! Happy new year to all!

Rumor has it its Doug Allen! (just kiddin Doug!) I acutally have the picture in my truck photo album, and enlarged on my wall, everyone gets a kick out of it! With my hand paining skills, it may of been me!

Hey! It was my competitor. I never could outshine them [Embarrassed]

The cats out of the bag. Thing is, he's in Hawaii, and I'm not.

Hey, you're not making fun of my mentor, good old Steve, right? I still have some of his old K-Mart brushes. Aaaah, the memories...

Posted by Doug Allan (Member # 2247) on :

OK you guys... I heard that!!!!

Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :

Could this have anything to do with Roger Bailey's departure from Hawaii?
