crackerjack69 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 OK people, we've all been bitten by it. But has anyone actually seen it? I vote we start a contest to see who can identify the little bugger. A lot of us have some decent graphic design skills, I for one would like to see an oic of what bit me :D I am offering free custom vinyl work of your choosing (within reason ;) ) to whoever comes up w/ the best "Datsun Bug" design. All legitimate contestants will recieve a pair of rat 'n wrenches decals, complimentary of Vector Vinyl Inc. (while supplies last (and they will), color choice priority will be awarded in order of design entry time stamp.) You have until May 15th to submit an entry for judging. ******* Please submit ONLY original art made by you. Refrain from simply editing an existing image made by another person :) ********* Link to comment

Tristin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have so many projects on my plate right now, but I think I can come up with something... I would be in for an official contest. Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 All right! Contestants #1 and #2 have identified themselves. Come on, don't be shy people! And when I say "within reason ;) " , I mean my cutter can do about 23"x23". I'll make a worthy prize for the winner :D Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 the datsun bug : lives under the seats and near the hood releases of old datsuns. bites the unsuspecting victim when they either sit in the drivers seat or open the hood symptoms include irrational love for old japanese cars spending ludicrous amounts of money on rare parts for cars unaffected people believe belong in the junk yard possible loss of spouse and or social life may occur if unresolved this parasite will move from the car to the hosts wallet where it will eat any kind of money within 1 Link to comment

DaveyDaveDaveDave Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Obviously one of the symptoms isn't proper grammar... that last sentence is ginormous. :poke: Run on sentences are definitely symptomatic of the datsun bug though. Maybe Bonvo bit by his own creation? How is that even a question? We all got it. Quarantine. Link to comment

crackerjack69 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well done Bonvo. I love the scientific explaination too. If we don't get some damn participation, you're gonna have an easy win :D I think I'm gonna get a tatoo. A bite mark on my upper forearm, and a snickering Datsun bug hiding just above the shirt line on bicep. Well hopefully someone comes along and gives Bonvo some competition. I thought more people would be interested... Link to comment
JakeWard Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Heck, I'll try. What're the parameters of this drawing? Like its gotta be "this" size or have "this" style content... Is this going to be for a tattoo? Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think most people will need more than one day to come up with something legit if youre looking for a real mascot type of thing... Im working on something, but will need a bit more time. Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 i can see that only reason i did mine so fast is i a wanted to get my basic idea out there so we didnt end up with 2 similar designs and i was really bored im still working on it tweeking it here and there but you get the basic idea im going for Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Of course... Obviously these dont need to be completed designs ready for printing right away. Im just in the middle of three website builds, one web-store creation (including manual inventory input), two blog articles, I have to finish up my admissions paperwork for school, and I work every day this week. Im a busy guy. Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 rats feed on bugs too...... Link to comment

Is this going to be for a tattoo? No parameters except design the most bad-ass Datsun bug, and then bask in the glory of victory. Thank you to all of you who have stepped up to this challenge. Take your time, and let's see some skills :D All official contestants who submit a legitimate entry will recieve a pair of rat 'n wrenches decals, your choice of color!!!! While supplies last.

Im a busy guy. I know you mentioned how busy you are, but I need a web page set up for my vinyl corporation. Keep me in mind if you end up w/ some spare time :D Perhaps send me a PM outlining your fees. Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Working on something right now to submit... PM'd! Link to comment

Ok, so the reason I cut it off when I did: we can get the entries judged, and get the vinyl prize sent out in time for you to wear it at Canby :D I can't wait to see what you guys come up with, and I think the winner's design may end up tattooed on me, cuz I want a tat of a Datsun bug, just don't know what one looks like. Sneaky little devils, one bit me back in 2009. Link to comment
