Rube, here's another request from the hubs - he would like to see something about the "olden days" when you could black powder shoot.  I never did shoot, but I used to love to be there when they were shooting.

This one is for you Beta since you inspired me. I had to recreate parts of the original painting and get rid of the glare from the ticket window...but I think it turned out pretty good. What do ya'all think? (by the way I think my total is up around 21 completed shirts with about 20 more in the works/ waiting to be manipulated!)

Thanks Missin' I like this one, it reminds me of an actual shirt I once had back in the early 80's.

My Dad, wife, and Daughter are all Oct (24th,20th,18th)

Love the Marvel Cave design! It would be cool to take some of the old 1960's era post cards and put these words above or below it: "Wish you were here? Silver Dollar City"
"Howdy there folks! My name is Junior Dugan, and I'll be drivin' your diving bell!"

I have a few text samples that I have recreated using some of the old ads/ signs etc. The postcards...I think I have a few of those...maybe a bit more than a few...

Been going through old threads here and I'm resurrecting a very old one!! What happened with this project Rube? I'm assuming life just got in the way of fun? That tends to happen too often!

Rube has a child now...and between work and a wife and kid, well, you know, there are priorities. He can give you  more details.  :)

Oh, I completely understand! Life has got me busy too and I'm not married and no kids. I can't imagine.

Ahh the shirts...Yes Life got in the way. Aside from the little one that arrived Oct 2011, she had sye problems which led to a surgery in Feb 2012, My pops had stage 4 cancer and 2 heart attacks, I have been dealing with teaching 7 different courses daily, while coaching 2 sports a year, sponsoring 2 clubs, and servicing the web, and computers in my workplace, all while trying to sell a house. Needless to say, I had a thing or two come up.

I love these shirts, and will someday get back to them, I have a few weeks left this year to fill with some art work still!

I completely understand, was just wondering. Life is more important than a t-shirt.

Rube, how is your daughter doing?  Was the surgery successful?  Sorry, if this is too personal; my daughter had the same problem when she was little, and she's fine now.

She is a trooper for sure! Despite it being bad when she is tired, things seem to be progressing in the right direction. Though we still have chances of a corrective surgery to finely tune the alignment of the eyes, she is hanging in there!

Since I had forgotten about this thread..how about a design?
