[BIG EASY DOES IT]

I don't usually give shout outs to people but I feel this deserved one. I had a character for a logo I really did not want to recreate. This guy did an amazing job for me. I started talking to Eric the vector doctor who I see gets a lot of referrals on this site. It was a little out of his area of expertise. Too cartoony. He recommended I try.

This guy hit it out of the ballpark for me. He was quick, reasonable prices, and did an amazing job. Not sure if he is member here or not. Check his stuff out. He sent me proofs and revisions even before we transferred money. If you need anything retro, cartoon, old school he can do it for you.

I posted the file I gave him(hand sketch) and what he came up with.

Yep, Andy is a good guy! It's been so long since I've used him, I almost forgot about him. Thanks for the reminder.

Nice.................. what is it ??

I'll give him another plug here. Totally unrelated to signs but...... He has some really cool Steam Punk Housewares. Really cool designs also.

Just for you Gino This is what it originally looks like. It's a weber smokey mountain smoker.

A true smoker, he's got bloodshot eyes and is smoking at 4:20.

That's a good eye!

Too cartoony for my taste.

Unless he was instructed to do that... an artist taking liberties like that is not cool.

NO that is all part of the design. It's in the original sketch I sent him also. And made sure he added the eyes and the watch correctly. I will be using it as a bbq logo for a bbq truck I am starting. The time and eyes are a homage to the California Senate Bill 420 and all patients in the US.

I'm sure your potential customers hope you're selling dessert.

I think brownies would be a high seller...

It's going to be breakfast and lunch in a industrial area. Wife with the baked goods for breakfast and sandwhichs and bbq in the afternoon.
