What else! :}
This is going on the stern. Hullside mounted graphics get banged up.
I really like it, at first then started thinking of it on the Parker.
Although very well done, and it would silk screen well I found the
skull design, a little typical. I might consider using other than the
typical human skull, and look for one, or something else that more
pinpoints you, your lifestyle, other hobbies, or even a characture of
your self to more "personalize" it. For instance, if you were a
Vikings fan, use a Viking skull, or you like to fish, a fish skull, if
you are Irish, a Leprechaun. At first I thought it should be more
complex, but the more I look at it, the more I like it, three color,
sharp and clean. Of course if you are only going to use it twice and
resell it you might want to stick with what you got as it is still
very nice
Don't take me wrong, I really like your design, just posting my
thoughts. Anyway, if you are interested, I could probably put it on a
silk screen for you to use on shirts, flags, or whatever. Been
thinking about breaking out a new bottle of opaque come fall. It would
make a great t-shirt... I might make two sets of screens
Skull and crossbones was not a common private signal used by pirates.
Certainly not even beginning to approach the almost universal use
suggested by Hollywood. Harry's cartoon rendition looks pretty phony-
but that's part of the charm. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is about as
indicative of actual pirate life as the "B" westerns were for cowherds
in the American midwest. Not every vacero carried a brace of matched
six-shooters, and most couldn't draw with any great speed or even
shoot particularly straight. Look at the number of rounds fired at
well documented gunfights like the OK Corral vs the number of people
actually hit, and that was at close range! To an identical extent,
darn few pirates fit the image of Captain Jack Sparrow or his crew.
The "Yo-Ho" logo chosen by Harry at least addresses the reality that
it's all bogus and silly. And why not, if that's your thing? That
said, I personally try to steer well clear of anybody "playing pirate"
and flying skull and crossbones. (You have to wonder what else they
aren't taking very seriously). I admit to feeling the same way about
boats flying inflatable martini glasses from the signal mast or
flybridge- so I'm not exclusively anti-pirate.
