There's a lot of overlanders that have special stickers that they give out to people as either little mementoes or reminders of contact details for their socials. We're @roving_tracks on Instagram, so we thought it'd be cool to get a commissioned artwork done. We really liked the work of @roadtripillustrations on Insta, and reached out to her to get on her six month long wait list.
Oh by the way, we'd love you to follow us so you can follow our adventures there once we properly get going!
Finally, our spot came up this week, and we love the job she did. She's based in the Czech republic, so it's been nice communicating with her about we wanted in real time. She had a few photos of us and the car that she used to create the cartoon, and I said I wanted a surf or ocean related background based on the Great Ocean Road where we're from, or maybe Morocco or the cliffs of Portugal, so I think she googled and came up with the 12 Apostles which is rather iconic where we are. I immediately loved the image, but didn't love US. I didn't quite like my top (which I wouldn't wear) and Jamie's hoodie was yellow - she changed it to blue, but we didn't like that either, and Jamie didn't like his face.
In the end, we just didn't like us in the image, and thought it looked a lot better with only the car! So she ended up doing two illustrations - easy enough to do when you're doing it in layers as a computer drawing. Still, it was generous of her. We loved the final image so much!
Can you spot the one little thing in the image that is very, very me? Look closely, and if you see it, pop an emoji or a comment below!
I got vinyl, die cut sticket printed - I LOVE the look of them! I can't wait to start travelling and handing them out to sticker lovers!
What do you think about our stickers?
With Love,

Very nice, but I think its better with you two in it.
Aw maybe we are just self conscious
Really cute stickers😊👍🏼
Thanks. But why the big fanfare about a vote? Can you vote without singing about it? Im sorry but that image is just junk on my post..i dont mean to be rude but you must understand its annoying.
Well, as a curator, I have been told to send an image/gif after the vote to let the author and readers know he has been curated. It was part of my job, however, I will convey your feedback to my superiors and from now on you will not get any such comments.🙏
Coast, surf board, all together looks really great!
(even liked the one with Jamie and you)
Maybe I'll make stickers of both!
Awesome ☺️ I like both of them.
And i see a little mushroom 🍄
Isn't it cute?
Yes, it’s awesome!
Both look great!
🍄🍄
The little mushroom by the rear tire! I noticed it before seeing that someone else in the comments mentioned it. 🍄
Well done!
Very cool sticker! And the one thing that's totally you is that little mushroom behind the rear tire, but now I see I'm not the first one to have noticed...
He he... Easy to spot hey!
How cute! Of course I love the little mushie, but the whole vibe is great. I like them both, but agree that the one with you both in the drawing doesn't quite seem to be "you."
Thanks! See you know what we look like so get it! Hope you are well, it's been aaaaagggeeeesss!!!
This whole having to pay for life stuff is for the birds, haha. Luckily I enjoy most of my work, but I do miss having more free time to connect with my foodie/green thumb folks around here. At least with garden season coming in hot here it gives me motivation to post and pop on at least once a month!
Yeah I'm dreading going back to work next year.
The artist has done an excellent job. Quite a waitlist there, six months! No wonder with her clear talent 😄
I think the one with you both in it is actually really good too
They are pretty good, should have a look at her Instagram!
I'll check it out! 😊
The tiny mushroom by the back wheel, for sure. :)) And I agree, that top was not you! But she did a good job on the rest of it.
She did indeed! Well done for the 🍄 spot!
