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?

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.

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.

+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.

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?

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?

henry

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.

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?
