getting the stoke a little more

Okay slow day, so playing around with some images and made up this little one while checking flight prices - just to start some stoke as we get closer

winter just seemed to kick in this week here as well. The small lake near me is frozen over but not quite safe enough to get out on - it froze really rough with the wind as well so no ice buggy on that one unless it gets a smoothing melt or rain and quick refreeze.
This is when we start watching for deals on flights for NABX, might have a smaller Ontario group going down.
oh, Jim's wife brought us back Wicked Pisser t-shirts from her Boston trip a month ago

In the meantime I'm slow for my freelance work so might as well make some pretty kite buggy pictures leading up to NABX. I've got a few ideas I want to work up. Anyone else - feel free to join in!

and if you want to do some theme related art work, think Peter Lynn Kite Buggy 20 years, and George Po#@%$#! 184 years.

Okay maybe I'll dig up some old buggy photos and do something retro, but in the mean time here's another little playa poster for you,

I'm just sayin!

These are now going in the official NABX sig files in all email i send out!

Great work Markite! I love this art work! Beautiful! Both capture the insanity that we find normal!

Thanks for the stoke! and thanks for setting the bar a little higher for the T-shirts!
