Sharpie Camaro

[Pinstripe Chris]

By the way, the dealership has already approved this idea... might even wonder into the corvettes. They are just waintin for the first 'custom' to be completed before they start this one.

Cheers.

How much is this dealer "option" going to cost?

[Ishmael]

The scallops and dots aren't original to the lambo but the concept has already been done. It was done to attract attention for a group that wants attention and has the cash to do something ugly and change their mind on a whim. There might be some - strike that there is someone out there with more money than brains and would love your work on a new camaro - not that its bad. As an option, it may just happen. But as a dealer, I wouldn't sink any of my own money into one upfront unless I wanted some really expensive yard art.

[Pinstripe Chris]

I cant speak for what the dealer is going to mark up, but i know what it'll cost them to get it done from me (before its recleared). And my concept was a bit overdrawn... the actual car wont have as much going on and less coverage on the car. Density and boldness will be minimized.

Very cool!!! Im glad for you that the dealer will use your work. Thats the bottom line right? If the dealer picks it up and it sells then yer good to go. Im glad you got some interest. Thats a start. Then it may progress to other work. And thats what its all about, getting some work. Good to hear its in the works. I like to hear when guys are making an income from their interests. Keep on plugging away at it, you might have found a niche that needed some filling. Even though its not my cup of tea, it may be some guys. And more importantly for me is to see a guy like you become successful with his work. Im on your side for that, to become a successful businessman. JR

[Damn True]

Not a fan.

[twosaturns]

someone mentioned a wrap, that's the best thing to do. repeatable, not so much labor involved.
I think I would laugh at the 1st 60something guy I see drive out w/ his auto tranny vette done up like that, cuase that's the only demographic that will be able to afford it!
still, at least its better than those breakfast cereal donks!

Ven... since your the resident Graffiti expert here.... ais this Biting or not? Is it more like everyone uses Flames or scallops in a pre muscle car hot rod... it's how you make the flames that counts?


Lots or hateers calling this out as a bite I wanna no if that's true or not..

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Yes its biting..

and no... flames and scallops were a staple of hotrod culture... BY hotrodders themselves.

that has nothing to do with hotrodding... nor graffiti... its a bootleg of something already been done.. and (in my opinion) done hideously.

bad graffiti on a lambo that is mimicked bad graffiti on a yellow camaro is NOT fresh... but i do read between the lines.

..its biting.

...BUT


I dont give a ****... ahahhaha

[Pinstripe Chris]

So you know... i've told the dealership that yellow is not a wise color choice for this type. I told them to try and setup a white, silver or charcoal- something to allow simple and clean contrast. Bright colors distort the vision easily. And currently, my idea is to tape out the stripes on a camaro without stripes, shrpie art inside the lines, then clear the panels. This way the sharpie doean't overtake the car and it still has the flare. Also, if you remove the yellow out of the roof i did, it looks much cleaner to me. I know it's alot goin on, thats why i think the stripes are a better idea.

Dude, you must be joking. That is --- No, I am going to be nice, just not for me.

[jocko124]

looks a lot better than the yellow

[Charley Lillard]

That black and white one above looks great.

[BA.]

I don't like it much for the same reasons others' stated, but I would bet the 28 and under crowd like it.

[Smock67]

See I like graffiti, I doodle on paper all day long sometimes. But to me it has too much going on for the sake of being overdone. But, you're getting paid to do this so honestly do it. I hope you can make this work and get a lot of money from it.

Just personally if it wasn't as busy i think it would be better. Space is sometimes a good thing in artwork.

Some of it looks good. Others not so much. There are a few cars floating around with this Sharpie artwork. As far as biting someone elses work, it happens everywhere. I would think its more about the artist doing the work than whos biting who. Someone well known like Mr. Vengeance may get a little more credit for doing something like this as opposed to a lesser known artist. I'm not saying you are, thats just my opinion though. Whatever it takes to make that $$$$$$$$$$$!

[twosaturns]

IMO, they are ripoffs of the BMW art cars, esp the 1976 Frank Stella car and the 1977 Roy Lichtenstein car

[Pinstripe Chris]

Dude... not... even... close. While i agree that our inspirations come from all over- i've never even heard of those cars, and IMO, they're weak.
