Calling All Doodlers!

Squidwrench needs YOU to draw a Squidwrench.

This image will be turned into a printable screen, and your artwork will be slathered all over backpacks, t-shirts, jackets, and slow moving children.

Simply pick up your artistic weapon of choice, and get to it.
All 2d art forms are applicable (though they may require tinkering to make them printable)
Photography
Sketches/Illustrations
Paintings

 

The following restrictions apply:

1) Image size can not exceed 11" by 11" (or 28cm by 28cm)

2) Please make minimum line thickness at least 1/16th of an inch (.16 cm)

3) High contrast is key, so keep it to black and white if you please.

Bonus points awarded for:
- having your art in digital format (Inkscape .svg or .eps... even a really clean TIFF or JPG)
- having your work printed on a transparency
- sneaking your name into the artwork so that we can credit you in some way.

 

The Disclaimer:

I'm no lawyer. I don't even hang out with lawyers.
If you make some cool logo or artwork, we can't pay you for it. We would like to use it to pimp our little proto-club. So, if you're cool with us reproducing your work, or altering it slightly to make it work with my low tech screen printing thing, then please submit right away.
I may have to make some changes to your work in order to make it transfer onto the screen. I will do my best to not ruin your work, but photochemicals are a harsh mistress, and may not faithfully display your vision without altering your vision slightly.
No matter how awesome your art is, some distortion may occur during transmutation onto an object. This is because I'm a hobbyist, not a professional. Please don't be mad at me if your masterpiece has a couple of extra blotches here or there when it gets reproduced.
If you dont' like the sound of that, and are worried that we're going to devalue your works, then feel free to show and tell us about it, but don't imply that we can use it in our projects.
Does that seem fair? I think it does.

If it helps, I svg-ized that

If it helps, I svg-ized that idea.

 

:EDIT:

Since I can't currently upload a file to an attachment, I started a new topic for it. Does this mean we should have a file gallery?

How about this logo idea? 

How about this logo idea?  wiki.squidwrench.itdoesntbelongthere.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/squidwrench.png

Yes, I know it's an octopus-type creature... but they're more photogenic than squids...

So... 12 days gone, and no

So... 12 days gone, and no takers, huh?

Since I want to have something to print at the meeting, I've started my own works toward this end.

I'd still be able to use contributions, if anyone's willing to make one.

Oh, and one more thing. I can

Oh, and one more thing.

I can probably run 2 presses at once.

One is for Shirts/bags, jackets, and can take advantage of the full 11" by 11" logo

The other one is a Sleeve Rig which I use to print sleeve logos on t shirts.
If your work is better as a smaller piece, then maybe it should be used on a sleeve.

I can run both presses with minimal additional hassle as long as I have the screens made in advance.

As an example:

Here's a link to my very first project, done last labor day in a friend's garage.
