Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Pistaboy Spokecard Challenge

well, i read through the "is shants pistaboy" thread, and it seems like a lot of you are interested in pistaboy spokecards. therefore, since we now have a picture to work with, i think everyone should come up with their own versions and submit them. pistaboy could even vote for the "official" winner. what does everyone else think?

pistaboy is Elvis

open photoshop and make it happen, cap'n.

that's more like it.

i already posted this in another thread, but here's my contribution. serendipper compared pistaboy to animal chin, so i took the idea and ran with it.

if any of you scumbags want the hi-res version so you can print it out, PM me and i'll email it to you.

hi,

I'm a lurker insomniac and was bored. here's mine, complete
with official sponsors. enjoy!

All great stuff but I personally prefer my art in B & W :eek:

Jesse, you nailed it, man. B/W rules. It even 'feels' indy, too much crap and the idea loses it's flavor.

Jesse M. + 1.

If I were to enter a submission, it would look just like post #5. Awesome.

thanks serendipper. i still want to see your photoshopped version with the "cast" and the tweaked out 80s colors, though!

henry_lee, i really like your version as well. very clean look.

wow

You guys need a hobby.

oh my god, smorgasgeorge....wow.

You guys need a hobby.

What? This doesn't qualify in you mind?

What? This doesn't qualify in you mind?
yeah, really. my hobbies are posting on BF, making stupid stuff in photoshop, and skateboarding and riding when i'm not doing either of those. what's so wrong with that. :eek:

+1 except i occasionally make money from making stupid stuff in photoshop, so i guess being creative is a little more than just a hobby for me.

Yeah...we should try mindless buzzkill and critisizing.
Much more fun ! http://deephousepage.com/smilies/all_coholic.gif

I'll need some help with mine.

Shants, could you do a trackstand and have a friend take a photo of you from behind and to the right?

ha ha ha...i can see some good things coming out of that. though they really won't look alike, you know.

thanks... I thought i was kinda funny last night. I should know better
than to post something I'd never _actually_ put on my wheel.

I like your b&w one a lot. definitely the winner thus far.

so where's some more submissions? considering all of the brilliant xmas
spoke cards, where are the rest of you?

ha. actually, i'm not really a fan of spokecards. i don't have any on my ride, but i guess making them is a decent creative outlet.

absolutely.

Well I like it but if there wasn't so much black on the outside it would be so much better

that's more like it.

This one is still my faveorit so far. Jesse M take it out of your avatar so I can it in mine! J/k its all cool if you want me in the avatar. I really like this one. How did you do the Pistaboy in chin writing? Freehand or Photoshop?

as the idiot who started the "is shants pistaboy" thing, i'd like to apologize. this is getting, uh, kinda gay.

Uh. Your avatar already wins. I don't know why anyone else would bother.

yeah i did that last night in about 10 minutes while I was drunk.

hahaha, you guys are ridiculous.

No I weigh 121 *****es! **** I dunno which one to pick. I think its Jesse Ms' but that's just cause being compared to Animal Chin makes me feel ****ing awesome.

^ ****ing A. I ****ing cus ****ing more every ****ing day.

lol


Pistaboy discovers vulgarity; is now "The Overlord" apparently...


What a forum...

i will have my contribution tomorrow *taps fingers evilly*

yeah, whatever you say, shants...

If by "kinda gay" you mean, "****ing awesome" then yes, I agree with you. No need to apologize.

Someone needs a virtual b¡tchslap

Me? I'll virtual wheel whip you mother****a!

Here was my quick stab at it, a great way to waste 40 minutes. I was using the GIMP, which makes me miss photoshop/illustrator dearly.

Not trying to make fun, just wanted to memorialize this great moments in random trolling accusation. Sorry pistaboy/shants...erm I mean pistaboy AND shants.

attached and here: http://mindsplatter.net/images/pistaboy.jpg

I like I'm wearing shants hat. Never would I. I think he's the only one who could pull that hat off

Yeah I was trying to mash you two up a bit. Maybe shants will pose for it someday. I couldn't really think what to put in the text. I meant to put "all hail the new overlord" somewhere.

PS the background is a picture of downtown Columbus, Ohio, but unfortunately Columbus doesn't have any easily recognizeable landmarks.
