I did this for the Challenge Alaska Ski - A - Thon Posters and shirts. I'm not sure if I like it.... I don't know how the hell I ended up with this -- it just kind of evolved. I kind of envision it a little crooked on the back of a shirt and on the poster. Definitely WAY left field from the type of thing we've done before. Let me know what you think.

I like it.
but
why the stamp?"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

It's great.
Just make sure the image doesn't stretch around the sides on the shirt, Owens.
Also, PM me. Just wondering if Dirk made that call. Love to tag along and write it up for your website whether it's mag assigned or not.

Looks cool Owens, is it a total number of runs thing, or what's the contest exactly?Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

I'm sorry, but I'm not wild about it.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I like it...but lose the stamp.
BTW I ran into a guy who used to be with Challenge Alaska, and also worked for me at the resort. Turns out he's a disabled instructor at Baker now. Been bugging me to volly with them here.

Not as strange as Dex's thread...
Lose the stamp and you're golden. Also, spend the money for a decent, soft t-shirt. I really don't care what the thing says (within reason) as long as the shirt is comfy.

I'm not married to it -- I may just start over with a more basic illustration...

I like it.
Of course the stamp is on the wrong side and a post card only requires a 23 cent stamp, unless it is an oversized novelty card. You may want to look into that.
Also, the top should read:
RAGE YOUR WAY TO MEXICO!The older you get the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin man! L-I-V-I-N!
