How many other of you have "nose art"?

Looks like it is time for a Nose Art page.

I agree on that. I find that people like it when they see it on the trucks. I have a lot of photos taken of just the painting on the side of the cab.

Nose Art

Post by Minnie »

Hello friends

Thanks...
I found this Minnie positure on the Web. My reaction was:
WOOAAA.. Got to have this one on my truck..
The transformation from paper to the truck was made with an overhead projector. I outlined her, and then i panited it. But it took its time , and there were lots of correcting before it got the right "glow" in the final result
I 'm quite pleased with the result. Kids love it, and it always draws attention on rallies etc..

Noose art is cool. But i think it must be hand painted on. I'ts not the same with a sticker...
