Looking for someone to do shirt art for our midwestern Sandblst event. This is the 10th anniversary and we want something nice and would be willing to give the artist a couple free shirts (or other swag if we do anything else) as compensation along with the satisfaction of doing the artwork for such a big Scrambler event :smokin:

This has gotten quite large, last year we had more than 30 Scramblers in attendance!

Artwork has to be reproducible for shirts meaning a high-res digital file will be the final product.

I'll get some past shirt pics and a link to the thread...

I know it's a big ask for just some shirts/swag, but paying isn't an option :shrug:
 
I have a sister-in-law that does graphic artistry in LA might help if I ask nicely...bonus points she used to work for Retro Brand Clothing..., and I dabble a bit in artistic chicken-scratch myself. However, I'm new to the CJ-8.com world and have no background on the soul of Sand Blast. If y'all could give some baselines to help mold the design, I could render some stuff and maybe even quote a few batches through some clothing line basement entrepreneurs I'm connected with....
 
A few of the past shirts. We only require that there be a Scrambler pictured somehow. The one on the bottom left was one I paid George Trosley a fairly significant amount of money to create, so nothing like that is expected.

Some shirts had everything on the front and some just had a design with the info on the event on the back. Either works.

And this is the 10th annual Sand Blast. Dates are July 28-30, 2017

Check the photos, we don't need the clothing quotes though, just the art. Shipping the shirts would kill any savings we would manage and we have found a couple decent local sources. :thumbsup:

Thanks.
I'll pass it on.

How soon do you need the artwork?
 
Not ASAP but I'd say best reasonable speed. Couple weeks or so maybe. We need plenty of time to handle shirt orders and printing before the event.

That's what I told her. I'm not sure how much free time she will have to work on this as her graphic designing has taken a back seat to managing projects for a large ad agency. :fingerscrossed:
 
Eric- I tagged you in a Facebook post for an artist. Left him a short request too. I'll let you know if anything pans out.
 
I saw and emailed him for details. He's asking $100 for a design which isn't bad, but more than I'm going to spend when I'd also have to pay to digitize it (he just sends you the art.) Cool artwork though!
 
Here's what my granddaughter came up with:

She'd be stoked if this made the final cut! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks to you and your granddaughter CJ7Pilot! I'll send her a JPFreek t-shirt as thanks for working on this for us.

We also got this design submitted by someone via email and we are going to go with it for the shirts.

Thanks, BW! She'll appreciate the recognition, for sure.

The design you picked is really cool!
