Save Our Ticket Booths!!!!

Rube, here's another request from the hubs - he would like to see something about the "olden days" when you could black powder shoot. I never did shoot, but I used to love to be there when they were shooting.

This one is for you Beta since you inspired me. I had to recreate parts of the original painting and get rid of the glare from the ticket window...but I think it turned out pretty good. What do ya'all think? (by the way I think my total is up around 21 completed shirts with about 20 more in the works/ waiting to be manipulated!)

That is some hot stuff!! Keep up the good work! And if you ever feel like giving out bday presents I am a medium and my bday is in october...

Thanks Missin' I like this one, it reminds me of an actual shirt I once had back in the early 80's.

My Dad, wife, and Daughter are all Oct (24th,20th,18th)

cool rube! i like cave stuff..

Love the Marvel Cave design! It would be cool to take some of the old 1960's era post cards and put these words above or below it: "Wish you were here? Silver Dollar City"

I have a few text samples that I have recreated using some of the old ads/ signs etc. The postcards...I think I have a few of those...maybe a bit more than a few...

Been going through old threads here and I'm resurrecting a very old one!! What happened with this project Rube? I'm assuming life just got in the way of fun? That tends to happen too often!

Junior · November 28, 2013, 08:15:03 AM

Rube has a child now...and between work and a wife and kid, well, you know, there are priorities. He can give you more details.

Coaster · November 28, 2013, 10:27:30 PM

Oh, I completely understand! Life has got me busy too and I'm not married and no kids. I can't imagine.

rubedugans · December 01, 2013, 02:23:51 PM

Ahh the shirts...Yes Life got in the way. Aside from the little one that arrived Oct 2011, she had sye problems which led to a surgery in Feb 2012, My pops had stage 4 cancer and 2 heart attacks, I have been dealing with teaching 7 different courses daily, while coaching 2 sports a year, sponsoring 2 clubs, and servicing the web, and computers in my workplace, all while trying to sell a house. Needless to say, I had a thing or two come up.

I love these shirts, and will someday get back to them, I have a few weeks left this year to fill with some art work still!

Coaster · December 02, 2013, 11:12:07 PM

I completely understand, was just wondering. Life is more important than a t-shirt.

Gilligan · December 03, 2013, 09:38:47 AM

Rube, how is your daughter doing? Was the surgery successful? Sorry, if this is too personal; my daughter had the same problem when she was little, and she's fine now.

rubedugans · December 04, 2013, 09:03:01 AM

She is a trooper for sure! Despite it being bad when she is tired, things seem to be progressing in the right direction. Though we still have chances of a corrective surgery to finely tune the alignment of the eyes, she is hanging in there!

Since I had forgotten about this thread..how about a design?

rubedugans · December 04, 2013, 09:13:07 AM

And another...in a shiny gold print color that didn't quite transfer too well...
