the story

on the morning of december 15th one of my closest friends passed away from complications with leukemia. with him being diagnosed in early october with only stage 1 it definitely came as a shock. to say that it's been rough would be an understatement. anyone that's every had a close friend or even a close relative pass, you know what it takes to go through it.

the problem

i want to make stickers for him. his name is john, but everyone called him bj (big john) for short. he was one of the nicest kids i've ever met in my life so far and it's the least i can do to tribute to his memory. the problem is that i'm not the best at making my ideas come to life and need some of your help

the solution

i would like somebody to help draw me up something to put on the stickers. i cant pay you for it, but i do promise that i'll send you one of the stickers once they get printed, all you have to do is pm me my address. i want to use R.I.P.B.J. as the text for it, but i'm open to ideas. any sort of graff font is cool with me, but like i said, open to ideas.


thanks, and keep in your prayers

p.s.  this wasn't meant to be a sob story, just looking for you're help

i feel your pain man. on december 14, 2008, me and my buddies were on the way home from shredding mount snow in vermont. i was sitting next t my best friend in my cousins Excursion. the six of us were sleeping, except the driver, and we went off the side of the road and hit a bunch of trees. i flew up into the front seat, i didnt have my seat belt on, and my best friend was killed on impact. his twin brother got hurt as well. no homo if you need anyone to talk to im available, i went through a similar situation.

it would be really cool if you had a cartoon-ized picture of his face on it with the text below.

so sorry about your loss man.

first of all, im sorry to hear about your loss. ive never gone through this so i cant offer much but condolences.

that being said, i think it would be cool if you just used a block font and made die cuts that just said RIPBJ. it would be really simple and a good way to remember your friend

to be real i dont even know the difference between a die-cut and a sticker. whoever said the cartoon-ized picture of his face that's a real good idea, i'll make sure to upload some pictures of him.

viewing was this afternoon, funeral tomorrow morning. no one should have to go through putting a friend into the ground.

thanks everyone, keep them coming

Sorry to hear about your loss man, I can only imagine how tough it must be.

i can do it for ya, i'm decent with photoshop. Do you want a serious or more fun font though? and do you want it in a circle or something perhaps?

just give me some detail and i'll hook ya up.

definitely something more fun. he was a great guy and never took anything as serious as it should have been so it wouldn't be right for it to be serious.
