I've been working for a while to get the original image vectorized but I've had a few issues. I'm trying to get this done as fast as I can so I've decided to try and get a little help with it. If someone would be so kind as to take a stab at cleaning this up a bit I would be extremely grateful. If you think you can do better with the original then please by all means give it a shot. Any help at all is truly appreciated. Overall I've gotten a bit better at vectorizing images but sometimes the simpler stuff really gets me. I don't care if it's full color really since it's only going to be a 2 color red and black cutting. TMLogo Vectorized.eps TMLogo Vectorized.eps

Well I've made all the signs for them that didn't require the use of the logo. I guess I'm going to see if the customer would be willing to let me cut the logo without the junk in the back but that's kind of his whole business. Every time I try to manually trace the stuff in the back of the truck it never seems to look right.

Still having some issues with the man in the truck and the trash in the truck. If anyone could do it better I would be extremely grateful.

Here is also a version I did in CorelDraw X3. TMLogo Corel Vector.eps TMLogo Corel Vector.eps

Here's the original jpeg since it wouldn't let me add it in the first post.

I've tried and tried to find an image of a man (preferably a business man) with the arms of a bear for a shirt I want to make a friend for his birthday. He's a big gun nut and he'd really love it. The closest thing i've found is this image and it's so small i can't get it to vectorize properly with my poor vectoring skills. Any help would be appreciated but I know it's almost too small to do anything with.

Thanks a ton, looks better than what I ended up with!

Hey folks, I've tried looking and just can't seem to find one but I'm looking for a man with the arms of a bear for a "Right to bear arms" parody shirt. It's a personal shirt that is going to be a gift for a friend so no profit involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah but with the images I had and my mediocre skills it turned out looking too bad to put on a shirt.

hahahaha that's a good one! I've hunted for weeks for a vector of a man with the arms of a bear and I found one but I can't get it to vectorize properly...

nice work! Looks Great

Wow, thanks for everyone that's submitted to this thread so far. I managed to grab a few really nice graphics and as soon as I have some free time I will definitely add some of my own stuff here! Thanks again everyone!

I think it looks great I do agree that the word graphics should be a little bigger and possibly outlined to bring focus to it!

With a deal like that you really can't go wrong!

At an average of $350usd per hour I'd say so!

+1 Great job especially for a first time 3 color job!

I love them both but the black one seems to stand out more to me!

Awesome work man! Always impressive

Though I don't do wraps myself yet (don't have the equipment) I've heard of full tractor trailer wrappings being in the range of $10k to $15k minimum. If you can do it in Vinyl the cost would be a lot cheaper depending on what they actually want on it.

Actually this printer could be quite useful. I know the 256 color still gives you a pretty wide range of options for full color printing. You can still purchase supplies from many companies, one of which is http://www.ikonsupplies.com/browse/supplieslist.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302116442&bmUID=1214392334668 I'd say with a decent laminate you have a possible moneymaker on your hands. A lot of customers who don't want something super flashy could end up giving you a lot of business. Your overhead would be a little less and your profit could actually be pretty decent. I would definitely be willing to try and get the old boy up and running just to see!

Very nice work! Do you own or rent your lifts?

Every time I see it I imagine standing there for 10 hours applying strip, by strip, by strip, by strip! I'd be pulling my hair out. Is it possible to apply the entire graphic in larger sections than each trivision panel and then cut them down the seam?

Nice work , I can imagine that those would be a pain in the ass.

Very Nice work!

Great work so far! Keep it up
