Default "Man Cave" Banners in full color I had made...

I wanted to make a wall hanging banner with a photo of my car and that of CF member, Midnight 85 who did a BIG favor for me. I found a great place in Wisconsin that printed them for me and I thought some of you may enjoy seeing them.

Midnight 85 (Chuck) is in the process of re-doing his "man cave" and hung it already. The photo of mine is of the graphic as it isn't up yet.

I had them leave the metal grommets off of the banners and they are hemed to show photo to edges (full bleed). These are printed on 13mm vinyl and came out pretty nice. Best deal is the two were less than $60.00 delivered. Chuck's is 3' x 4' and mine is 3' x 5'

Here is Chuck's in the new "man cave"


And the image of mine

I did these with Photoshop and I wanted it to look just like that !!! I wanted him fully wrapped on the car hood protecting his car. Every single thing on his car is perfect in detail and performance, and I was trying to convey that with this. A bigger hearted man than Chuck is hard to find, and everyone who knows him would agree - this is PERFECT for showing his love of his Corvette passion !

pm's sent to those who asked - if you do make something, please let me know how they came out. I have other ideas I am working on for our Corvette group, and other projects.

Glad you're enjoying them

What ottawabarber does not mention is his fantastic talent with photoshop. The pic of my ugly azz is from a group get-together and I was sitting at a picnic table with a beer in my hand. My car was sitting on the golf course at Bloomington Gold with another buddies red 04 Z06 beside it.

Can you send me a link, too. I have about 50' of bare wall in the "Vette Den". I'm slowly gathering things to hang on it.
