I like the calligraphy hand weighting big and bold Like "Hustler" "Straight Pool" "shark" "9 Ball" "8 Ball" big flowing words in a gangster type of lettering.

I really like the calligraphy idea!
Of course my case would say 'Whitey"

i think the american flag with an egal on it would be sweet. make it take up the whole case... lil red wihte and blue is always good....

How about a flaming bloodshot eyeball wearing a triangular wooden rack on its head and with a cue jammed through the middle of the eyeball.

That's a good question.. I think that I may want.. something to keep it Oregonian, mostly.

A Ninkasi sticker.



A Dave's Killer Bread sticker.



A Zack's Shack sticker.



And a Who Is John Galt? sticker.



Next, I'll get a sticker for my own business if I can get it started.

Following others calligraphy theme, I think quotations would be good.

I love juicygirl's sig quote of Mark Twain: "The game of billiards has destroyed my naturally sweet disposition."

yes calligraphy is nice for sure and so are quotes but the sky's the limit here so let your fantasy loose!!!

Case

Use you imagination, cue cases need more than just your same old art that we see time and time again, western style,vines,weaving stamp,flower and such.

take a look at the scrimshaw on the Josey's. That would look good on a case as well !

The quality of the artwork would greatly depend on your abilities. I would assume that painting on leather is very difficult.

Absolutely nothing other than a little "tasteful" Tooling.

Celtic cross. Knot work is a biotch to paint I would bet so it might be a chore.

I'd like a portrait of my girlfriend. The one person who has stood by me through thick and thin. My rock. My friend. My date on a Saturday night.

I put together a design for the doomed dyd cue contest and ended up putting that work to use on a case that was ultimately built by quiverz.

just a wee bit over the top. :wink:

I feel very lucky to have been able to get that design built.

A players cue tip trips the first domino starting a trail that rolls a light bulb, then sets off a gun whose flag says "I Love Pool" the dominos continuing down to push a mouse on wheels who 'goes for the cheese' (a swiss cheese ramp, actually), the mouse's nose pushes the cue ball off the ramp into the 9 ball, the 9 into the pocket with "Game Over".

I know, too much time on my hands.

Thanks Phil for bringing it to life!
