Lemorris! Great tutorial my friend. It made me see how overly complicated I work. Thanks for that. Can you take a digital snap of one or two of the t-shirts with your art?

Thanks for the tutorial Lemorris! That trick of stroking your pen paths with the brush tool really adds a lot to the drawing! Time now to turn to Illustrator and have the benefits of both pen and brush combined in a single tool… but you have to have a graphic tablet of course ;o)

Thanks guys! It was a blast to do. I’m really honored by being asked, really means a lot to me.

To answer Nelson:

The VW dealership is the nations largest in size and sales and they really embrace the air-cooled and the water cooled VWs so it’s a great outfit to work with.

They make shirts of all the drawings I do and then if a person buys a car from that salesman, they get the shirt. People collect all the shirts as they are sold and they also have made cops and stickers and other print media from the files.

It’s nice to work with a client that gives you a lot of freedom of design. I should thank my buddy Roy for making this happen. He posted some of my art on a board I don’t go to but the dealership owner saw the work and contacted me.

p.s. I’m freakin out a little bit that \The\ Nelson Dewey asked me a question. Big fan man…big. CARtoons Feb. 91 issue, page 27. My first.

Very nice, Lemorris. I had assumed you used Illustrator, so this is quite cool. I’m going to want to try out the ‘paths’ tools real soon!

How does the VW dealer make use of the art?

A great read with a nice look behind the scenes.
