  1. I've been thinking of making an order for a uni bumper-sticker, and I
    have some samples, for your persusal and critique. I just want to make
    a cool sticker, keep two, and sell the rest for, like $1.37 including
    postage.

    Really, the goal is funny, slightly superior (well we are, aren't we?),
    and eye-opening, if possible (like the knobby tire might be). Any
    suggestions to make a cooler sticker than the samples would be
    welcome!

    I can't draw people too well...maybe a stick-figure/pictogram of a
    person/uni/rock or something would be good.

  2. get a cafepress site and sell all of 'em. They'd retail for about 1.50
    to 2 bucks there.

  5. I agree with Podzol. Big blocky letters, and a picture of a non-clown
    unicycle (er)....

  7. I think it'd be pretty awesome if you could put catboy's UPD logo on a
    bumper sticker. I'd buy that.

    There was a 16th or 17th Century (Mikefule will know) Englishman named
    William of Occham. [censored] had a saying. "The simplest solution is most
    likely the best." or something to that effect.

    Flattered.:o

    William of Ockham, famous for "Ockham's razor". He proposed that the
    simplest explanation that fits the facts is the one to go with. In
    reality, it is not inherently true, but is a good starting point for
    avoiding faciful explanations for mundane things. However, Ockham's
    razor would at one time have justified a belief in the sun and stars
    orbiting the Earth.

    More approriate here would be "KISS" - "Keep It Simple, Stupid". The
    simpler the better.

    Someone else once said that an army will march for a sentence, but not
    for a paragraph - or words to that effect.

    Overcoming adversity is easier, more fun, and regarded as more admirable
    than avoiding it. Thus, we shall always have wars.

  10. Google produces:

    "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate''

    Ponenda - must be affirmed.
    Sine = without
    Necessite - needed, necessitated.
    Non est - it isn't
    Pluralitas - presumably something about plurality

    Loose translation: "It is wrong to affirm additional entities unless it
    is necessary."

    And he was 14th Century - which is earlier than I would have guessed.

    Gosh, we know how to party in haec foro.

  12. Seager's right. Just do up all your designs and put 'em on CafePress.
    They have lots of different kinds of stickers, magnets, buttons...
    whatever. You could load up on whatever you design.

    And as far as putting graphics on them, well, go to the local college
    or art supply store. If there's an art department in the college,
    there are likely lots of creative people desperately needing a few
    bucks. Show 'em pictures and say "Can you make a cool illustration out
    of that and put it on a CD? I got thirty bucks." or whatever. If
    there's a bulletin board up in the local art supply store, it'll be
    crammed with business cards of people who want someone to pay them to
    draw. Some of them might work cheaply enough.

    Or you can do what everybody seems to do and get some nephew art. Just
    ask around somebody you're related to will have a kid who "Drawrs rilly
    good." and that kid'll probably whup something up for you for ten bucks
    and two stickers 'for his portfolio.'

    I have just revealed several secrets of the art universe to you. Do not
    abuse them. Go with the grace of cartoonists everywhere.

    Or if you're rich and lavish with your cash, I'll be glad to create
    your illustrations for you at a very reasonable rate.

  15. Yep. Another poster was talking about B.C. wheel shirts, and I couldn't
    resist. I put a version on a black Tshirt with the B.C. girl and a
    word balloon that reads "B.C.- It's A Unicycle Without All The Useless
    %$#@"

    Limited target market, but I'm pretty proud of the artwork.

    That's awesome! I like your advice and look for a "starving artist" to
    support.

    Where do you sell your T's?

  17. They're at the cafepress site listed under my signature. So I don't
    sell 'em so much as just cram a lot of uni designs onto cafepress and
    hope that something sells one day.

    And you're very welcome to the starving artist advice. Best of luck
    finding one who isn't so stuck up that he or she refuses to "cheapen my
    art by working for other people"... Sometimes kids can be so funny.

    Some of those are really good. The international postage charges are
    quite reasonable as well... I may well buy a couple of shirts.

  20. I think it's just reg'lar ol' yellow. They ask you to give the products
    a name when you add them to your list, though, and I'm accustomed to
    making a joke out of pretty much everything, so it became a "don't get
    shot by the hunters" concept gag. I like the dirt design, though and
    wanted to get one for myself on something other than white or black.

    Maybe I could put one on their green shirts and it could be a "Dirt
    Riding Summer-Camoflage MUni T-shirt" Whattaya think?
