Artistic Liberty Is Acceptable

This one is also courtesy of "the old man" who is apparently pretty well versed in his trade.  I refuse to actually admit that to his face because his ego is the only one larger than my own.

"No the scooter looks fine stretched out.....*sigh* really...."

Taking my original design from an ad to vehicle wrap was a bit of a shock to my senses, taking that wrap from a Chevy Malibu to a Scion Xb was even more shocking.

The point of content: a cartooned version of me (read princess pet sitter extraordinaire) on a scooter that is a major part of the marketing and branding (read printed on and in everything and becoming iconic in this town).  The wheel of the scooter and the wheel of the Scion didn't exactly match up, so the scooter had to be extended to accommodate the actual size and shape of the Scion.  I was told the "artistic intent" was still in tact and that noone other than a princess would have a fit over stretching the scooter.  After posting preview pics of the design on Facebook (because where else can you get hundreds of opinions in seconds), apparently everyone but me thought the scooter stretched to fit the Scion was brilliant.

For those keeping score:  Princess 0, Old Man1
