Saw a "deer hearse" sticker the other day. So nice these guys have an outlet to express themselves. Like Lisa Frank stickers.

Eh, I ain't mad at em.

It's no different than anime cars, or hot rods with flames, or any other unnecessary but fun for the owner decorations. Not my cup of tea, I draw the line at a maximum of three pieces of auto flair, in the form of placards, stickers, or decals not to exceed a 6×6 area equivalent. That's my personal limit, but I ain't hating anyone trying to find their happy with decorations.

And, tbh, if I had a truck, that motherbumper would have a sexy sasquatch on the rear. All kicked back, chilling. Totally over used, but I still think it's hilariously over the top. Some things just demand to be done, and you can't deny the call of the 'squatch.

Is it like a little sticker of him chilling in a lawn chair or something?

Even better

I have a co-worker who's wild about Lisa Frank. I'd never heard of her, but I absolutely recognized the distinct design elements from school years!

I just want a jazzy solo wrap for my car. I know they exist, but I just won't spend 400 bucks on one.

Did anyone else read the headline, get really really confused, and then remember you're thinking of ANNE Frank.....which is not who the headline is about. I don't know why Lisa Frank is.

Lisa Frank is the artist behind those suuper technicolor prints from the 90's. TIL she's still around. https://lisafrank.com/

Yep, exactly that. Thanks, I was confused until I saw your comment.

Every single time with no exception, I read Lisa Frank as Anne Frank

Anne Frank stickers are different. Only the Neutral Milk Hotel guy collects those.

I want a wrap for my vehicle that's literally Lisa Frank Coded, except less exploitative.

I want to dazzle other drivers till their eyes bleed :3

One day I hope to have a see-thru purple car. GameBoy Color vibes.

Holy shit I would fucking LOVE THAT SO MUCH GOOD GODS ABOVE AND BELOW

I wonder what kind of material we could use O_O

Polycarbonate maybe...?

The issue is, if it's a plastic, it could degrade due to UV exposure... Plus there's the overarching issue of micro plastic pollution. Any polymer that wouldn't be an environmental problem might disintegrate too quickly.

But I still WANT it. I wonder if there even is an engineering solution.

Honestly that'd be badass. You could see all the mechanics of the car working how they do. Seeing the engine through the hood would be pretty cool.

Now if we could get truck wraps that looked like Lisa Frank designs THAT would be really impressive!
