I need some stock images for a lift chair and a personal mobility scooter. Preferably with no background. I can't find any big enough to blow up for the side of a van. They'll need to be about 2.5 feet high for printing. The company that makes them was clueless. Here is a sample of each: ( the...

This is addictive. I'm really enjoying doing these things. I took the photo of this one myself so I own it outright. This is the only one I've actually finished so far... I'm looking forward to the British car show next month so I can take some decent pictures of my favourite cars... with...

I've been having fun drawing cars the last week or so in my spare time(!) and I'd like to get this one a T shirt for the up-coming British heritage car show. Just a single shirt for myself to see if there is any interest. Will the design work for this? I know absolutely nothing about this. I...

I've been having fun learning to illustrate cars over the past few days. Got inspired by Joe Diaz's stuff. (who wouldn't?) Anyway... I learned a ton on my first one and applied it to this one. It's a long way from finished but I think it's starting to look like something. I need to add a lot...

I need to give a quote for a street banner but I don't make them. Any Merchant Members here make them that can ship to (or preferably are in) Canada? I think it would be about 25 x 3. I'm in Atlantic Canada. Someone close would be nice.

I thought this was kinda funny: I designed a logo for a customer and sent all the usual file formats... cdr, ai, eps and threw in a few bitmaps (tiff, jpeg, png) for good measure. She emails me back asking for a Word file so she can select just the icon part of the logo with no text. I don't...

I need a font that looks like this Ghostbusters font for "GrimeBusters". Anyone know where I can find it?

I'm interested in a still image capture system for security reasons. Does anyone have any info on something up to 8 cameras that will capture high quality images to a dvr? I googled this and only found video systems. (none of which show any actual footage from their wares) The customer has a...

It's been 30 days since my last confession... No that's not it. I have an XP computer from Hell. It wants to authenticate itself but when I click OK it says it is already authenticated. This goes on in an endless loop and the machine will not boot. I have the machine running in safe mode. Any...

I have a second hard drive installed in my computer. I want to remove it. Is there more to it than simply pulling the plugs and taking it out? I want to remove it because when I start the computer up it wants to check this second drive for errors and when it does it goes into an endless scroll...

This one brings back fond memories. It was on the roof of a wedding dress shop that reeked of stale cigarettes. The coloured smudges that are faintly visible are pink and gold glitter. I'm pretty sure the substrate is an old basketball backboard. The picture simply does not do this sign justice...

Here's a little cartoon from my new Monoprice tablet (the $37 one). It's not much I know but it's a start. I did this in Xara because Xara seems to have the best pressure settings between the software I have that have pressure settings. I have Illy cs4, Corel X4 and Xara designer6 This...

I was tired of borrowing trucks or messing with a trailer to get my scaffolding to jobsites so I figured out a cure. I cut the scaffold in half and installed joints so I could fit it inside my Dodge Caravan and assemble it on site. The sections of scaffold were cut with a large tube cutter and...

Just got off the phone with Canon service rep. My Canon Rebel XT is "not compatible" with Windows 7. Nice. Canon apparently has no intention of remedying this. I could see this if it were some old obscure make that they only sold a few of. There must thousands of these things still in use all...

I was surprized to discover this new online venture from Sign Craft magazine. Even more surprized that I was included in it.... along with a few others from s101. Here's the link: http://signdesign.signcraft.com/libraries/signdesign-docs/signdesign-no-1.pdf

I am looking at getting a computer with Windows 7 but mostly my software is for XP. I have Photoshop CS, Corel x4, Illy CS4 and Flexi starter 7 point something. Am I looking at a major software purchase or will Windows 7 run this stuff?

Acer Desktop, 3.1GHz AMD Athlon II X4 645, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 home premium for $460? I want it to run corel, photoshop, Illustrator and my plotter. The plotter may be a problem as it only has drivers for XP. Forgot the spec list: 3.1GHz AMD Athlon II X4 645 processor; 2MB...

My pc is starved for RAM. How do I determine what to go buy? Do I have to actually open the case or is there a window somewhere that will tell me?

I've done it before but now I can't get these Corel x4 files into Illy. I tried to save my file as an ai and open that. Illy wants to "rasterize the pdf". So I tried saving my corel file as an eps. Same deal. "Rasterize pdf". WTF am I doing wrong? I gotta get these files sent to my print guy.

Here's one I just finished. It's 4'x4' double sided HDU. The little apples are magic sculpt. The raven and the larger apples were carved out of HDU and applied. The rest is carved in place. This is the first sign I've made for a farm so I'm hopeing some other farms will get into some...
