Cactus Monday: "Rushin' Around"

Last night I was up late working on a project for one of the radio stations I do work for.  I was given 4 days to design a van wrap (YIKES!!!), and the illustration above is sort of similar to the design I submitted today.  I want to keep the real design under "wraps", (har har!) until the production is complete.  With all that is going on, I'm trying to best utilize my time so I can do all of the things I want to do/need to do and still get to submit a post for Cactus Monday.  Please keep in mind that this is super thrown together. 

This concept made me think of two things.

1.  I'll just use my existing art and create a cactus van!
2.  Wouldn't it be super cool to have my little Rav 4 wrapped in my very own design with illustrations?!!!

How cool would that be?  Of course, you would be able to spot me miles away in every direction, and that could be good and bad.  I would have to be less of a lead foot driving around with a shameless self promotion vehicle to avoid getting mean emails since it will be plastered on it.  Unfortunately, I always seem to be in a big hurry kinda like I am today!  Also, I wonder how a vinyl car wrap would withstand a blistering Arizona summer.  Just some random thoughts!

LOL! I'm glad you appreciate my loopy sense of humor Diana!

I designed this for a full size cargo van on all 4 sides of the vehicle. It's going to be a complete body wrap. I provided a vector so that they can scale it to whatever size they need. I love doing projects I've never done, and the bigger, the better!

I'm not sure how much something like this costs, or where to get it done. But I bet if you google it you can find a place in your area. I think it's cheaper than getting a car painted. If I get a new car, maybe I'll keep my current one and think about doing it!

The van wrap is the coolest idea of "free advertisement"

I like your livery. I'd love a car with succulents photos - jelly beans succulents on a little smart car... lol, I don't think my husband will approve.
