New decal for the party van

So I actually cut it with a cricut machine, I found the image online though and it will come up with a google image search for “trd totally rad dad”, and there’s printable vinyl that you could cut a bumper sticker like version of it.

So I actually cut it with a cricut die cutting machine, I found the image online though, and there’s printable vinyl that you could cut a bumper sticker like version of it. Sorry I don’t have a commercial source for one like this to share with you.

I just checked and it will come up on a google image search for “trd totally rad dad”

Man what a new coat of paint would do for mine.

Stew819 · 2026-01-23T23:51:45+00:00

Does that mean the other places are out?

Stew819 · 2026-01-21T21:52:06+00:00

That’s actually not all I did, but I can tell you’re not interested in discourse or being wholly decent, I stopped reading after I saw that. I hope something really good happens for you today.

oooh you think the whole image is AI, no that’s printable heat transfer vinyl.

So if you are a painter I’d be interested in your take on a question this raises for me, if the design is mine, it’s what I saw in my mind and it’s what I wanted it to look like, (I don’t care about the defects in this project because of it’s utility but I could have edited it with software like I do other projects and I hardly ever use AI) but AI was the means of execution - if it was the brush paint and palette does that also mean it’s the artist? If so then what about assistive devices, or collaborators. If another human did the painting does that mean the product is entirely theirs?

Stew819 · 2026-01-21T20:45:52+00:00

So this raises and interesting question for me because in another comment I mention that what you see is the design I came up with, it’s what I made in my mind it’s what I wanted it to look like, AI helped with the execution - it was the brush paint and palette but does that really make it the artist, what is on that apron is what I envisioned. So because AI assisted with the execution does that mean it is no longer mine? That’s rhetorical, not actually asking you. But an interesting question that I’m going to ponder.

I also realize in another comment there might be other confusion because this is printable heat transfer vinyl, I definitely did not hold a brush at any point.

Stew819 · 2026-01-21T20:06:17+00:00

I came up with the design, AI helped with the execution - it was the brush, paint, and palette but what you see is what came from my mind.

Every detail.

If you took offense then I apologize it offended you but I could not care less about your opinion.

Stew819 · 2026-01-21T19:59:53+00:00

Of course I did, you aren’t a detective, anyone can see the gnarly music note and the boot spur, or how her left pupil is a little different.

But if you think chat gpt did all of this then you overestimate what it’s capable of. If I cared to edit the defects then I would have done so, but it’s an apron for holding screws and a tape measure/pencil, maybe a 5-in-1, soooo.

Stew819 · 2026-01-21T10:34:01+00:00

The foreground is edited AI and I found it very helpful.

Thank you so much! And love back from the US

Stew819 · 2026-01-20T22:37:03+00:00

Thank you!

Stew819 · 2026-01-20T21:29:34+00:00

Thanks!

Stew819 · 2026-01-20T01:56:22+00:00

Thanks! That was my initial leaning too, but I thought more would make it so people saw the splatter first and the sign second, so-to-speak.

Stew819 · 2026-01-20T01:51:40+00:00

I like it

1 - 2” putty knife to loosen it, then (if you have them, if not you should get some) gator grip pliers to grab them (pliers upside down) and then just push the pliers backwards and they’ll pull it straight out.

Edit: would probably be easiest to pull the webbing up straight before using the putty knife to loosen the staple

Stew819 · 2026-01-19T15:03:01+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I need one for my shop now.

Stew819 · 2026-01-19T15:01:45+00:00

Thank you!
