Anybody want some Cruiser art?

[john657]

I am interested in ordering up a few more t-shirts. I worn out my old one from GSMTR back before it was GSMTR and was called the Great Smoky Mountain Trek. That shirt is looooong gone. Remember those days??? I attended in 1991 or 1992. Don't quite remember anymore. Was a good time as I recall in the Nantahala National Forest.

I'd be in for the other woman shirt and restore shirts in black 3x if possible and prints

Your memory almost serves you right. The Smoky Mt. Trek (or actually, the Smoky Mt. Venture) was a separate event going on at the same time. Great Lakes 4WD Assoc. put that annual event on and we, mistakenly, put our event on at the same time. We thought we would only have a couple of hand fuels of trucks but when we ended up with 39, it became a traffic issue. So we moved our event. It was named the Great Smoky Mountain Trail Ride at the meeting we created it in the fall of '91. I coined the name "G-Smitter" that same night because I thought the name was too long. The first GSMTR was in 1992.

I would order some of those in prints for the garage/workshop. Great work

I would take prints and t-shirts of the first, third and the 12th GSMTR (fav).

Okay guys... I've started the search for short run t-shirts and may have found it. I will say that I'm not confident that they will be 100% the quality printing as the guys I used back in the day. But then again, they were the best. They're still around but I just can't justify ordering 100 each of these guys. I can't afford the start up cost of my Rainman's Brake Lines AND a t-shirt biz. So sometime soon, I will be creating a master list with small thumbs of each design and the name of each one and may start off with prints for the shop/garage.

In the mean time, here are a couple of other pieces I could colorize and add to the list. Any interest in these? (There's a lot more where these all come from...)

"Hangin' On". I haven't decided on what this Cruiser is hooked to.


and,
"King o' The Hill"

Aaaaaand another thing.

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

Love the "Other Woman" tshirt - you should change the "she's only 16" to something more modern since they're older. Maybe a "cougar" reference...

 

[sometlc]

i thought 16 referred to the inline 6?

 

[Rainman]

I looked at that before I posted it and decided to wait. If you'll note the year I drew that, "only 16" makes the truck an '81 FJ40. Yeah, I know, the seat bracket is not accurate but back in '97, I thought owning an '81 would be really awesome. I can certainly change that before printing.

Heck go 24" !

I actually think that Cruiser dangling from a winch would look cool non-colorized, hanging down the back left or right hand side of a t-shirt, maybe some small logo in the breast/pocket area up front.

Agree with above post...Also like the first picture you posted...would purchase.

 

[john657]

Rainman, thanks for clarifying that. I think I have some old pics of my wheeling there in what must have been 1991. I had purchased or was given a large white stenciled Smoky Mountain Trek sticker that I had stuck to the rear glass of my topper on my old 1983 Toyota mini. I'll try to locate some old pics and post them. When you said it was the Great Lakes 4WD Assoc., that really rang a bell. Old memories flooding back.....................

 

[juanchogaviria]

Those are great man!

Would take "The Other Woman" in either a t-shirt or a poster. Great work.

 

[Vae Victus]

I'd love to have some of these shirts.

Maybe offer a 3 pack so you can print enough to make it worth your while.

I'm up for helping finance a large enough run of these to get it going.

Id be in for a couple as well!
