I have seen a thread on here once upon a time where someone had custom or pre-production Paperboy sideart. It was really awesome. Sometime in the next year I will be refinishing the sides of my paperboy. I think the sys II sideart is crap, and there is no way I'll put generic sideart on there once done. If this elusive paperboy sideart was available from a vendor though, I would be all over it.

So, anyone have an art file? hi res pic from former thread? Someone who already prints/sells it?

The side art came from the proto cab (which only 2 exist from what I hear). Nash has one, but not sure if he would even want to scan that as many probably wouldn't care about it. I would LOVE to have some, but with the little interest, I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap (especially since the time was taken to repro the Sys II art already).
 
It is freaking awesome though:

How could you fit that to the Sys II cab shape?
 
So so sick. Let me have one to go next to a 720° & Major Havoc.
 
And I was thinking when I first read sharidan's post "something like atariscott's t-shirt graphic would be cool!" :)

Yep, its almost the exact same. I think its the same as whats on the CPO too, yeah?
 
i would love that for mine... i have SYS 2 art new in the box sitting by my desk..
 
Dang... could he do that on vinyl? I'd buy it.

In the way that the repro System2 art goes over white vinyl, you could do the same with that, if it were printed up. Some of the white vinyl on mine is messed up, so I've planned to strip it off and do new white vinyl. My plan has been to eventually get the Sys2 art.

Yep, which Rich reproduces already. Blow it up, burn new screens, and print over white vinyl perhaps?

System II sideart blows so hard I will never bother replacing mine. Its an against the wall/middle of a row game for me. Now this on the other hand...
 
i like the system 2 sideart but it definitely doesn't compare to custom paperboy stuff
 
Scans not likley and since it will most likly need to be resized to fit the S2 cab
I could rework the cpo art I have to do this as a solvent inkjet
I threw together a quick test print and graphic and still needs some work
things to note the protype art has a few diffences in color like the pants, bike tires, and rims
Would it be best to match the proto or cpo in this case
Also you can see the cut line in the proto in the shape of the graphic so this could be plotter cut the same way.

I think all Paperboy fans would jump at the chance to get a finished version of this.
 
WOOHOOO!!!!

Solvent inkjet is perfectly acceptable. I think color matched to existing art would be better than the proto colors. It doesn't really matter though since the paperboy is different on the CPO, marquee, and in game.
 
Isn't the current System 2 art solvent inkjet also? So, the option we have for printing method would be the same. Makes me glad I haven't purchased sideart yet. Interested in where this is heading..

I did buy the Paperboy controller and control panel overlays and they are awesome.
 
Although that art is cool I don't think it would look too good on the standard system II cab. It would probably look more like art from a kit game being that it's so small and does not fill the full side of the game the way most atari art does.

A bit more space could be filled if it had "Paperboy" above the art.

I have no problem with medallions. It will look totally awesome.
