After 4 years, I finally decided to change my avatar. I created a sketchy style drawing of my truck and put color swatches from '72 behind it. What do you all think?

Pop's72 · 11-08-2007, 03:31 PM

I have to agree with Pops72, the old one is interesting with the movement and never sure if the Blazer was going to change on it's next entrance

But, the new one is cool, your a good drawer, if that is a word

I like the new one, kinda retro.

Bouncy, I wanted to show you this but didnt want to highjack your thread. But since you mentioned you work at a design studio, what do you think of my new "retro" store logo? This is a T-shirt we have in conjuction w/a local radio station.

That's really nice. Did you do the design?

Looks like the new cover for the next Austin Powers Movie.

I knew you worked in design, but nothing more then that. You should be proud, your company has an impressive portfolio.

Basically yes. I designed the logo, but had a professional artist put her touch on it. I started with inspiration from an old Studebaker logo and eventually we collaborated to this. The car & T-shirt was done by a good friend of mine, Jim Koch....awesome artist. Thanks. BTW your company looks very impressive.

It weirded me out when I saw it. No offense intended.. I like it, just wasn't ready to see it.

johnnywagon · 11-08-2007, 04:27 PM

I love it.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-08-2007, 05:05 PM

Retro

Luis_gz06 · 11-08-2007, 05:41 PM

Its awesome!

**Yukon Jack** · 11-08-2007, 05:54 PM

Looks cool to me! Did you make the first one also? Always liked watching the K5 drive by!

bouncytruck · 11-08-2007, 06:24 PM

Thanks. Yes, I drew both of them. I actually majored in design, then went to art school and now I'm one of the owners of a design studio.

Here's a larger version of the new one and illustrations from my original. The last one used to be an illustration of my green truck and then morphed into both the green truck and the orange truck. When I sold the green truck, I dropped it from my avatar.

krue · 11-08-2007, 11:12 PM

I like the new one.

72BlckButy · 11-09-2007, 08:24 AM

I like it!

**Yukon Jack** · 11-09-2007, 09:48 AM

Just spent a few minutes going through your website - very impressive!!!!

bouncytruck · 11-09-2007, 10:23 AM

Thanks guys. I guess I'll keep the new avatar.

bouncytruck · 11-09-2007, 04:04 PM
