Right, so I commissioned this guy

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Right, so I commissioned this guy

Post by Edweird » Thu Mar 07, 2013 8:43 pm

I've paid $25 to have a rat-fink style picture hand drawn by this fella over in San-Fran. He does some awesome stuff. He's big in the 'Brony' scene so most of his commissions have ponies in them.

Anyway, the rather daft sounding dilema I have is that I'm not sure 'what' I should have driving my truck. A Rhino would make sense given she's a Zook. Or I could have a cartoony version of myself, or let him 'ponify' me and then it'll be something he's more practised at.

I'm also thinking I could get the end result printed on a new tyre cover as the one on my SJ the elastic is gone, the piping's virtually gone and what's left is splitting/falling off.

So, what do you 'orrible lot reckon?

Id have a rhino, my mum got me a t-shirt printed for me with my face on many years ago and although it was nice I never wore it as I felt so vain! So i'd want a generic personalized one, tbh if It was me, for my spare wheel id probably ask for a Japanese samurai warrior driving....

Just thought I'd use this as an excuse to post a pic of my favourite album cover. Seeing as we were talking of Rat Fink.

Awsome cover but looked better on 12" album cover, CD doesn't look as good!!!!

Aye, that's Ed Roth's art. He's pretty much the grand-daddy of the Fink style.

TA DA! The guy posted it just now. Not going to lie, I'm speechless.

Just need to figure out what the Japanese says. Apparently it's funny.
