mini obey
Well theres a good chance you won't be seeing me in the old Pontiac no more. If all goes well I'll be screamin down to Lake Cumberland next week in a 2002 Mini Cooper. I think its gonna groovy. In fact its the kinda thing that inspires me. Currently its black on black, and I really need my stripe material and the white roof. But then I got into thinkin, this is the fun car, what else could I do. I thought of all the stuff i'm into what would play nicely off the mini's lines. Obey Giant would work perfectly. The retro propaganda art style along with mini's retro look could be an interesting pair.
So to play with idea I downloaded a few images and cranked out some concepts. The Obey Giant has a few distquishing marks, the obey star symbol, and the lettering and phrasing of "obey" and "giant" and the big brother image. Now I wonder, could I get the word "obey" printed on the side of a car without someone bitching at me? Like what can you do with cars, can you do anything on them paint wise? The star does look like authoritiy but at the same time its not its art. But where does the law stand on this? I just wonder. I can see myself gettng pulled over in these concepts. I mean this is the usa.
Anyways dispite all that, I went ahead and created these: obey2, obey3, obey4, obey5 my fav at the moment, obey6, obey7, and obey8. I also found a pic online of my interior.
A key thing to remember here is that the obey colors can be anything. Instead of orange and red it could just be black on white which would be even more striking appearance and probably get me pulled over sooner. I like the red cause I think it'd complement the interitor and the orange... well i'm not sure. Course I'd have to contact mr. Shepard Obey himself and get clearance to do such a thing. But I'm sure he'd be all over it, being free pr and all.
So what about the roof? Well I could see Big Brother on it here. Heh. Honestly I dont know, with a black roof it might just perfect, but I still kinda want to see a white roof and white mirrors. I could something crazy on the hood instead of the white bonnet stripes. The Obey star is too much for the hood. Maybe use some of the perferated stripe look I dunno. Need more Obey Giant art.
