I'm planning on making my first two stick by the end of next month. Trying to come up with an easy idea for my first time. Any suggestions?
Don't worry about looks, even if it's just text. Sure, do your best but there's no one judging. It'll become addicting
I'm thinking maybe a silhouette of a supporter holding a scarf with the scarf saying MASSIVE. Black paint on yellow fabric. What difficulty level do you think that would be on a scale of 1 to 10 THOMA?
it's only difficult if you don't have the proper toold to complete the task. That two-stick, I'd say a 2.
Thoma, I think I've asked you this before. How do you get the image you want to recreate onto a wall so you can paint over it? Do you use an old school overhead projector, computer projector, are you the greatest ever and do it freehand? I used an overhead projector for the "100% Possible" 2-stick I made last season, but I don't have access to that anymore.
The last few ones have been requests from people who have done a design already. There are so many out there that are in t-shirt form but also I feel would serve well in two-sticks. To save time, I use an old-school projector. I don't have the time to be Van Gogh especially if I aspire to create a business out of this.
Thoma, I remembered one I thought of but never got around to doing if you would like to take a stab. "Crew'thulhu" or "Fear Crew'thulhu" Changing the Crew crest to Cthulhu heads like this one:
Inspired by those 'doppelhaltern' (double holders) in the German Bundesliga. These types show a blend of support for the club with civic/regional pride.
About how many of these do you lose a game when you lay them out across the section? Or is the number so high it's not worth bringing one or two to a game?
With the series that I made in 2010, I really never thought about how many have returned back. I'm a weirdo like this, but with that series, the intentions were to make as many as possible and if people took them home, I wasn't concerned. The one thing I was hoping for was that people had a tool in the supporter's arsenal, something that they could be a part of, something tangible while supporting the team. But also, maybe this would impel others to embrace whatever form of creativity they have and make their own two-sticks as well. Most of the two-sticks from last year remain in storage at the stadium. Because of the this outstanding "honor system" and trust, you know, people leaving the two-sticks in the Nordecke after matches, I've decided to make more this year, and this will continue every year until, well, I'm six foot under.
Thanks for the Tutorial Thoma. For our third year (anniversary of dating) the girlfriend and I made a two-stick. It's nothing fancy due to us not being artistic but we wanted to mock the whole #MLS4RSL thing so we put #mls4CREW. Thanks again for the help.
