Anybody want some Cruiser art?

[cruiserpilot]

Aaaaaand another thing.

How big would you all like the garage prints to be? 12"...18"...?

I'd like them in 18". Your art is fantastic, I like all the designs, but not interested in event T's with dates.
If you separated the text off, I'd be interested in them

I've taken out the copy on the ones I can. I'm in the hunt for the rest of the GSMTR art. I think I'm finally finding out more things the hard drive ate years ago. I'll edit some older posts with new art or just add to the end of the thread. Give me a few hours or a day... Some time soon.

Love the artwork....
Would like to have some prints and tshirts...
Perfect xmas gift ...

It's amazing how some times you feel like you've got stuff figured out and then it just gets more complicated...

Went out yesterday and priced prints and shirts. It just opened up a whole new bag o' worms. I really appreciate all the likes, wants, and posts here. I promise, I WILL figure this out soon and start producing at least some prints. To have the best product possible on the shirts, I'll have to print up at least 72 of each design. 3 or 4 designs and we're talking fairly big bucks up front. I'd really rather not skimp on the shirts I sell and offer something less than very good quality. If I can figure out how to get this out in front of more people I'll do it. Maybe I should become a charter member of the TLCA. That way I could advertise in the Toyota Trails. Hmm. Perfect but the membership and ad costs are just more bucks. (My problem to figure out, not yours. I digress.)

The prints are a little easier but I actually have more options to track down. So bear with me please. I want the best cost AND the best product AND the best return. I'm not the best business man around.

"Patience, Iago..."

SO here's another one for you to consider.

On the Pad.

 

[myquestoyota]

I'd like that on the front and the winch hook one on the back please. Not much of a white t shirt guy but those would be awesome. Love that art!

 

[Rainman]

SURVEY PLEASE...

We're talking prints here. If I were to create these to fit on 12" by 18" posters, either horizontal or vertical, would that be big enough for you guys. Most of the designs will work well with those proportions. "RRR" won't but I could change the TLC copy around it to something above the main artwork. The green Cruiser on the burnt page is pretty much stuck on a square format. The orange "Project Volunteer" GSMTR shirt without the copy works well horizontally.

So again, If these were 12" by 18" posters, would everyone still want them. The larger size costs significantly more and demands a 250pc order. I just don't see selling that many.

I can have these within a few days after ordering. I will have to do some artwork before submitting and will only have two designs to begin with. Sell those and I can print up two more. You get the drift.

High quality, offset printing on gloss paper. How's $19 a piece? You guys are why I'm doing this so please respond.

Thanks!

Rainman

12x18 is a start and would take a 3R for the shop wall.

 

[myquestoyota]

I'd like a 12 x 18 Other Woman for starters and maybe a 3R as well

 

[sheepdawg]

12x18 the other woman to start with and maybe king of the hill.

 

[Satanic mechanic]

I'm in for the other woman and the multi truck gsmtr one

 

[Rainman]

Inch by inch.... Step by step... (only some of you will understand that one)

Here's a swatch page of the pieces to chose from right now. I've removed copy from a few GSMTR shirts and have sized them for 12x18. All but the "Hang On" piece is sized for printing. That one might be cool 6x18. That way I could double up on them and sell them cheaper. I'm so close (other than colorizing the few that need it) to ordering the first pair. It's looking like RRR and Other Woman at this point. Neither of those quite make it to a full 12x18 though. They are 12x13.5 and 12x14.5 respectively.

HOLD THEM HORSES!

I just pulled out my math hat and realized that IF... I print up the RRR, Other Woman AND the Hang On, I can get them all on one sheet.
Hang On ends up being 6x24. That one will get redrawn since it was only about a two inch Cruiser on the back of the GSMTR shirt.

I'll list the images the best I can. There have been some changes to several pieces shown since I posted the image. RRR doesn't have the badge anymore. Layout for the Other Woman has slight changes. Hang On is now Hold On and is in the process of colorizing. It'll be 6" by 24".

 

[Satanic mechanic]

It would cool to see one of the bigger pictures on the back of a shirt with the hang on one looking like it was winching itself up to the pocket on a pocket tee or up the sleeve on a long sleeve shirt

 

[Rainman]

Yes but right now it's cost prohibitive to do front and back. If I get where I can sell dozens of these, then we'll talk front and back. I'm not rolling in cash. That's why I'm doing this anyway. I need some cash.

 

[chappysfj40]

Let me know when I can order. I am in for a couple

 

[RWBeringer4x4]

I would be in 100% for an "other woman" print.
Probably about 90% in for RRR.
As I mentioned before, if you put "hang on" down the back of a T-shirt (offset to left or right side) I'd probably be in for one of those as well, if the price was right!

 

[myquestoyota]

How about a limited edition hand-drawn "hang on" or "on the pad" t-shirt? Probably above my pay grade but a great rainman fund raiser

 

[Rainman]

Great guys! BUT

I'm only talking posters right now. The shirts will hopefully be right behind but I'm only able to spend so much right off. I will say that the shirts will most likely be no more than $25. 100% cotton and printed by the best screen printers around. Posters will be offset printed on 100# gloss paper. (Just like the pros.) I may have to start another (stupid) FaceBook page. Rainman's Tees n Posters.

Hey Rainey, Would you be interested in designing club shirts, or more event shirts? I can talk to the CLCC guys about having you design us a shirt. Your GSMTR shirts are my favorite event shirts. Below are 99, 2000, 2001, and 2003. I believe 2003 was the last GSMTR shirt you did and 2002 wasn't your artwork. As far as posters, I'd like the "6 pack" one.

 

[Rainman]

Sure. I'm always up for some cash. I can't afford to do these free anymore. Don't worry, I don't charge the Toyota guys too much. Do you have the 2002 shirt? I don't remember what it was. You can contact me directly for the CLCC stuff,
