We are holding our annual Rod Run tomorrow at the Elks Lodge, and a good friend of mine Pat Pittman (Spanky) has been working on a 1960 Chevy Delivery Sedan. He asked me what the cost of making a one-off shirt with his car would be. Well normally you would have to have a minimum of 36 shirts and THEN you would have art cost, and print cost. BUT, since he asked nicely, I surprised him with a couple of shirts.

He told me he had the Delivery in his shop and was working on the transmission. While he was at lunch I snuck in and grabbed a couple of picts of it, and then redrew it using the ol' wacom tablet and the Bezier tool. Add some lettering and *poof* (read *poof* as a good day and a half of drawing and designing and me bribing my print shop manager into setting up the presses for 4 shirts) you got yourself a one-off shirt just in time for the Rod Run. Turned out pretty sweet if I do say so myself.
