There IS a trick to knowing what to send them and how it will reproduce, I agree... If you have a really specific custom color in your graphic that precisely matches your car or something, you have to remember that other variables such as your monitor color settings and what not can also skew the way the "actual"colors are reproduced. Given that a screen printer will charge you 10 times or more (sometimes LOTS more) than CafePress will however, I think it's worth it.

Great work! I just found this thread, and ELEVEN PAGES is a lot, but in case it hasn't been done, I've forwarded this thread to PIXAR. I'm SURE there are some PIXAR people on NAM, as there are quite a few MINIS in their parking lot!

Cudos!

Niello Mini has expressed a STRONG interest in a poster of all of these great renderings! There's a market there, if Pixar doesn't mind.

COOPERation, if you are taking requests... Could I get a HB/W/W MCS with S-Lites and Driving Lamps in Carsified and non-Carsified forms?

In the immortal words of Chris Rock as Pookie in New Jack City, "I got some cheese burgers."

...and why would Pixar have anything to do with it?

You've never seen a car with eyes?




Folks, I'm terribly busy currently and I will look into the poster idea soon...be patient, go motor!

I can't believe it took me so long to find this thread! I guess I just wasn't in a "whatiffy" mood for awhile. But I have been enjoying the cars in people's sigs, and it's really neat to finally see them all in one place.

So Cooperation... when you have some spare time... would you mind adding one more velvet red/black MINI? Like Movieman's, but without the cool flames? (fingers crossed) Thanks in advance.

And BTW I think your handle really fits you!

Actually, how can you look at most cars head-on and not see eyes? And a smile or frown or sneer or mouth full of braces? Besides, the first thing that comes to my mind when I see posters for the movie is the Chevron toy cars.

Now if we could just persuade Chevron to add a MINI to its collection....!

Thanks so much, COOPERation for the cartoony and NON-cartoony version of Nano. I loved it so much, I made a wallpaper out of it!

Ah, as COOP said in his first thread, there's a very obvious Pixar "Cars" influence. Just don't want to see COOP get into any trouble. Apple for example, has sued for less, and won.

COOPERation....

WOW

I saw you Gallery and love the MINI FLAG!!!!

Do you sell it as a poster? I would love to buy one!

Also the Little Cartoon Graphic MINI's Are Really Cool! If I could be so Forward to ask if I could use it in my signature? If not no problem, I will keep trying to draw one, but I'm a Photographer Not a Graphic Artist...

Just wanted to ask...

Keep up the Awesome Work!!!!!

I don't know if this has been covered, but how does one create these 'Cars' MINI graphics? I'd like to do one for Obie (my Cooper). Thanks.
