Anyone know where I can get a clipart set that contains "stick people" for putting "family" graphics on the back of cars? I'm having more and more people ask for them. I know some of you are asking "why can't he just draw a freakin' stick figure", but I just don't want too!:Big Laugh

Thanks!

I had asked the same question about a month ago or so and was told they are all made by each sign shop and not really sold by any 1 company.

I just thought there might be a clipart collection out there that I could buy. I wasn't asking anyone to just handover their own designs. It'd be nice if there were a large collection that the customer could browse and pick figures that match the personalities of their family members.

When i asked i had the same thought in mind maybe a clipart cd i could buy with different family members but no luck here either.

I think you have to much time on your hands. i dont believe i have seen you post one thing does does anyone any good always negative why?
I should have started out saying i have all the respect in the world for what you do and you must be good at it but damn give the new guys a break you didnt wake up a genious one morning did you? i would bet you had to learn like the rest of us did and thats why this forum is so popular. Guys like Geary, Fred, Doug allen, derf well the list is to long are so helpfull and bring so much knoledge to the table but when they get remarks that have no good point like your (HOW NOT TALENTED YOU GOTA BE .....to not be able to draw a stick figure?????????????????) why shoot the guy down for not knowing? No different in my eyes than that crabby old grandpa none of us wanted to spend the summer with as kids. Just my 2 cents worth and again i have all the respect in the world for what you do for a living but just dont go into motivational speaking please. Love ya old paint:U Rock:

Old paint i do agree if your going to be in this buisness you need to have art skills but i was going more so with the idea that he is just starting out in the business and dont have any knowledge in this field. I did not mean any disrespect to you as i said earlier i have much respect for what you do and i do understand what your saying i have seen and maybe even posted some dumb questions i just think if we want to keep good people coming to this forum we all need to be nice to the noobs. I also want to say sorry i was out of line to say you dont help i read every post you make there are some good ones. Just trying to stick up for the little guy old paint.

There are some interesting dingbat fonts here:

There might be something that you can use.
Altho in my opinion it would be far quicker to just draw them.
A circle for the head and lines for the body parts.

Whats the deal with those stick figures anywhoo? I keep seeing them all the time on cars.

Wow! I've gotten alot of help and information on this forum over the past few months and managed to avoid participating in any of the "flame war" threads. However, I guess it was just a matter of time before I asked a question that got me flamed.

I'm going to try again to make my point about what I was talking about. Of course I can open Corel or Illustrater and create a few stick figures if I need to. However, the figures I've seen on cars in these parts are more than just a circle with a few lines. And even at that, I could create a them in just a few minutes. What I was inquiring about is if anyone had seen a collection of figures (like in the 100's) that you could make available for people to choose from. If I could spend few bucks purchasing something like that, it MAY be more cost effective than spending an hour or two drawing stick figures when I could be doing something else.

In response to this thread, I really don't think it's nessecary to call people "idiots with plotters". I'm sure there are people on this board that are much better than me and maybe there are people who aren't as good as me. No matter how good you think you are, there is always someone who is better than you. I really don't understand people who post mean spirited messages without anything constructive. I guess I was alway taught "If you can't say anything nice ...".

If my first post wasn't clear and that lack of clarity caused this, then I apologize. If you still feel the need to criticize me then no one will stop you. I respect Fred and this board too much to contribute anymore to this type of thread, it only clutters up what is otherwise a shining star on the net ...

Thanks.

I run a graphics and print shop and we have pre-made stick figures that other sign shops can use.

Below is the link:

What ever happened to really cool, original cartoons? Not knocking this trend, just missing originality, art and humor....

I had to make my own. It was very time consuming. In the end I don’t even sell them any more. Life is funny

Just out of curiosity: how much do the stick figures sell for? and what size are they? I guess I live in a cave, cause aside from the vinyl Calvin peeing on a Ford (or whatever make of car),"Fear this", or Kokopeli, I haven't seen them.

I guess my main question is: is it worth making up a bunch of original images to have on hand in case a customer requests something along those lines?

I haven't had ANY requests for stickman images. But I do remeber that little video that was posted a while back about the stickmen doing battle with Windows ( or some software)..that was super. ( If someone could post a link to that again...?)
The Graphics Factory offering on this subject seem...limited.
OK..sooo...this seems to be something that might fit the bill for a design-off??
Cheers!
