Girl 1 // Girl 2

I painted the two girls on photoshop, practicing with my tablet. You guys have seen the rabbit before. I did him on Illustrator.

Their all printed out onto sticker paper and then sprayed over with a can of enamel to stop the ink from seeping out of the paper when it rains. Cut out by hand.
Time to cover town in my stickies I think. > biggrin

Yeah man I've been keeping traditional up till now.

For the girls I imported them into illustrator CS4. The great thing about the new illustrator is that you can create more than one canvas/page for each project. I added my name in and broke it up so the computer no longer saw it as text but as outlines*. arranged each page with different sizes of the girls covering as much space as possible. Theres no WAY I'm wasting a single inch of this paper, lol, its like gold to me.
Then I went ahead and saved it as a pdf document. I kept all the default settings for saving it, it saves at quite a nice quality for printing you see. Then I took it over to my folks computer and did a high quality print and wasted all their ink. XD

This is the spray enamel I used. I don't know what the U.S. of A's equivalent of this would be.

*Its an illustrator thing. If you use unlicensed fonts or whatever (Like 99% of the world does) you can't carry them across on a pdf. When you take them to a new computer they change to a default font and look like crap. So on illustrator before taking it anywhere you break the fonts into outlines of fonts. Its quite annoying if you forget. Ha ha.

Hokey dokie ->



Just go to a hardware store and ask for clear spray enamel. Should work fine. Alternatively what you could do is go to a library or somewhere where you can get your hands on a photocopier. Draw a bunch of designs out on an A4 piece of paper, throw your sticker paper in the paper tray and then photocopy your designs onto them. I'm pretty sure the way that photocopiers print makes their ink hold to the paper better than a home inkjet printer, so you wouldn't need the enamel.

If you'v got illustrator I wouldnt mind making a step by step pic tutorial. I know I learn easier when I have pictures in front of me going "Do this and this". XD

Yeah bro, adobe.com XD. Seriously. You can download the free 30 day trial. You gotta make an account with them to download. Might take ages on your crap connection though?

Ill send you through a crack. Should work just fine.

With a crack it will be a trial that lasts FOREVER.

Sounds good man! I'm always keen to get other peoples stuff up on my streets. Helps build a culture ya know? And it would be awesome to have stickers where ever the hell you are now. Lol Check your hotmail.

Bro, all cracks come up as viruses. Its clean I swear. its been sitting on my pc for ages.
Apart from the billion porn pop ups that appear even when I don't have anything open, the random crashes and programs that open willy nilly, my computer is completely fine. =P

Wow really? is it your antivirus doing it? Or the browser?
