So today I got to setup a table to sell stickers, t-shirts and art at this BBQ thing at The Pit Surf Shop in my town. I'm doing a shirt for them, but I was also selling the original artwork for another shirt I did recently, called the Taconator for this taco shop across the street. Its 11 by 14 and has a really nice frame if anyone wants to ask about buying it.

I do really like your details, but the lack of weight variance of the lines based on relative detail importance combined with their proximity to one another kind of turns some of your stuff into hard to decipher blobs to me, particularly the smaller stickers. I'm sure this is a stylistic choice but I also think you should consider reducing the thickness of relatively unimportant details in order to emphasize the basic shapes more. I think this is actually forced in your larger pieces such as taconator just because of scaling, and to me, they tend to be lot more visually appealing \o/ Sorry if you weren't looking for feedback in this area /o\;;
Best of luck though, art shows are a ball!! Something I've found doing them is that there are people who are going in for big ticket items and people going in for little stuff, maybe consider scanning in your smaller stickers to make quick sheets you can cut out and then only have to charge couple of bucks with a deal like 3 for 5 for that crowd :-)

yea i know where you coming from, my bigger stuff is has way more line weight scale then those little stickers, i keep those simple and fast to make, i had to pump out a lot in 2 days when i found out about the show. the taconator was done on 11 by 14 paper and I spent an entire day on it. i do plan on printing normal ones, the handdrawn ones are normally 5 bucks each, but i had to take on 2 bucks for ever one i sold because the owner took a cut
i appreciate the time you took for feedback man!

Hey Future, I was wondering what you're printing your stickers on? I'm going to be screenprinting a few of mine and I'm looking for some matte vinyl or something that's a little more sturdy.

i don't print mine, i hand ink them on on acid free card stock paper, then i use spray adhesive to glue the front of 2 postal service stickers to back of them living space between the two to peel back the bottom of them so you cans stick them. then i take exacto blade and die cut them myself.
each one is a one of a kind character and no sticker is the same
aside from those would normally order screen printed diecut stickers thru these guys http://stickerobot.com/
