I do get some strange requests often here at the Madhouse Workshop. Most of the time those requests come from relatives. For instance, my brother-in-law more than likely prompted by my sister requested some stuff for T-shirt emblems for his start up extermination company, something simple for single color printing. Quite a few years ago I did this on my sisters motorcycle gas tank, all in pen and ink directly on a couple coats of color sanded clear. Then my father finished it off by shooting more urethane clear coat over the top of it. This was more to what I like to draw. The flames and pearl paint was my Dad's handwork.
So, at first my brother-in-law wanted a Jiminy Cricket drawn up holding a spray can and then he wanted some darker. Well I can do darker, but cartoon characters I'm not sure. I'm about a month and half behind on the artwork so he's going to get it this weekend.
My scanner is very much a weenie, can figure it out sometimes and its only a 8 1/2 x 11 flatbed, so chopped some stuff off. The slightly darker one has his "All Gone Pest Control" in a nice curved pattern with some spider webbing. Its about the size of the back of T-shirt for a Large. Still have a bit of touch up to do. Will probably just use a sharpie to lettering, this was close to being all pen work with the exception of the lettering fill in which I did with a brush. Yea the old fashioned way of doing things.
