I did end up overlanding to and from the expo by fatbike. Also met some cool people and made a few bucks. Here are a few sketches I did at the event. Check me out at LinnerDesign.com and on Facebook .

Not all the sketches came out the way I’d have liked, but that’s life. It’s good to see the smiles on people’s faces either way.

I actually cheated on Saturday night and threw the bike in a car for the way back, but today was all human power. Flagstaff’s Urban Trail System (“FUTS”) is quite vast, and I’ve wanted to ride this route since I moved here. However, it’s a ten mile journey each way, there are almost no trail signs, and neither Google nor my physical FUTS map is entirely accurate.

I got lost heading out on Saturday. I got lost coming home today. I’ll try to tell myself it’s a fun lost . But it’s still lost. Hopefully with trial and error I’ll learn the way. The signage and maps sure aren’t helpful.

Last, shout out to New Legend 4x4 , The FJ Company and Adventure Ready !

Dude: you got bars. Do you sell your sketches to the owners of the subject vehicles?

Bars?
Yes, I sold every sketch this weekend, which is a bit unusual for a car show.

As pertains to cell phone signal strength. It’s a way of saying someone is skilled.

how much do you get for your drawings?

Ahh. Well, thank you.

I normally charge $40 but have been doing a 25% off deal at events lately. They each take about an hour, or closer to 90 minutes with mud tires, tents and details.

Nice to meet you! Damn nice sketches. That IH was the nicest truck at the entire show. Great workmanship on it.

Why, thank you. Good to finally put a [3D] face to the name! My fave there was the green Scout; I’m a sucker for Original look and pea green.

Yeah three II’s and one 800. The white one and the Trail Monkey are on JK frames. White has a Cummins, TM a GM V8. I’m not sure about the others. There was a stock looking, g<3rgeous green II and a yellow II with brown side panel. I’ll comment with pics when i get on the computer later.

I can “paint” it any color for you no problem! Just name the color scheme, wheels and tires! Shoot me an email at linnerdesign at gmail and we can chat.

Looking forward to it, I think you’ve gotten the kind of jibe of the place. The only things that are frowned on are the obvious things (personal attacks, spam, etc) as well as just pimping your own off site brand too hard. We want to hear what you are up to in your other ventures, but its not about another board to copy pasta kinda of thing. In any event, can’t want to see some more stuff!

Definitely. I understand it’s an off road blog, not an art show. :)

I see that FJ80 around my neighborhood fairly regularly. Very cool rig.

Don’t belittle your own talent.

I would be perfectly okay with your offroad art blog.

Easy there, Collins.

This is a family-friendly blog. Don’t get all twitterpated.

Gahh, sorry for not catching this in time! Unfortunately I haven’t been on many hikes yet so my input wouldn’t have been a ton of help anyway. If you’re ever up again feel free to give me a shout at 81cabriolet at gmail. :)
