How bout a shirt.

I spec'd into detective AND wizard.
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

How many steps to the lighthouse?

I'm currently trying to design two bumper stickers that I want to put on my vehicle. Unfortunately designing isn't my strongest skill- so I'm hoping to get some advice.

The main one I want will simply read "What Would Dresden Do?"
Vague, yes, but that's kind of the point. I would like to underline this with a wizard staff, which I am finding impossible to design, and probably throw in a few other interesting designs with it.

The other would simply read "Hell's Bell's, Murphy!" This one I have a couple of scorpions approaching the lettering, and I would like some archaic symbolism around it.

I'm not looking to submit these, or make any money of course, so if anybody has some suggestions or ideas it would be appreciated. I'm good with Photoshop, but terrible at drawing things by hand.

I'd recommend going with a basic color pallet and object silhouettes.  I'm bad at drawing myself, but I get by with editing images on the web.  Find a wizard staff pic, make it a silhouette, and add runes after the fact. 

As for the scorpions, I'd do the same.  A base background color with text and scorpion silhouettes might work best.  At least for your initial attempts.

Here are a couple designs I've made. 

The first two started as a bumper sticker idea, which morphed into the family stickers, and then turned into a Blue Beetle window shot. 


Then Molly wanted to feel included...



I forget what the motivation was behind this one.  But I thought it would make a good bumer sticker design.  But I don't put anything on my car, so I just pull them out for posts every now and then.

I'd love these as buttons:

"I was going to put the T-Rex back, but I was kinda unconscious"

"Beware FOO dog"

"I live with a wizard; I cheat"

"thats not a plan; thats a loony tune"

"Love Hurts"

"you do realize I am holding a gun,right?"

"fireballs arent 20 ft spheres"

"Is there any doubt in your mind I could make you do it?"

--anyone remember the quote where Murphy asks Dresden what happened to him. He tells her flat and she saids "you re not joking are you?"

The one I remember where she said that was when she asked him where he got some information and he said "a magic faerie told me." 
Everyone on this earth wants to feel like they matter.

I thought it was Murphy asking him in Summer Knight who he was going to ask to get the information and he said his fairy godmother.
Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt, change the fates design. Save what once was lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine.

For Mdodd. Rest in peace friend.

Drip, Drip, Drop.

Would you like to see Jurassic Dresden on one of http://riptapparel.com/ 's shirts?  Then head on over to RIPT's Facebook and Like my design!

Here!--> http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150231967381704&set=a.10150231965936704.315670.67259481703&type=1&theater

If the design gets enough support they'll use it in August (hopefully).

Thanks guys for whoring me out! *SO EXCITED*

I've heard the promises I've seen the mistakes I've had my fair share of tough breaks.
I need a new voice, a new law, a new way.
Take the time, reevaluate it's time to pick up the pieces, go back to square one.
I think it's time for a change.
