Artwork on a car
So I'm contemplating about putting some artwork on the S2000 sometime in the near future.
Question: Where can I buy/make large decal/stickers to produce this? I prefer to use large stickers rather than direct paint on the car.
Background: I graduated with an art major in college before going to medical school to become a doctor. My artistic side is wanting to creep up again and I am contemplating on using the S2000 as a giant canvas (I had initially planned on something similar with my previous Mazda Miata). When I owned a BMW M3 and read a little history on the BMW, I was always impressed by the BMW art cars like Roy Lichtenstein's 320i (http://www.bmwworld.com/artcars/art_lichtenstein.htm), Andy Warhol's M1 (http://www.bmwworld.com/artcars/art_warhol.htm), or Frank Stella's CSL (http://www.bmwworld.com/artcars/art_stella.htm).
I've noticed some of the Team Emotion cars use Japanese artwork on their 350Zs as well:

I guess when I think of artwork on a vehicle I think of this:

There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything though and I'm sure you will do something tasteful based on the little I know about your car and mods.

thanks for the info. I want to get the base materials. I plan on painting it myself. It will be a bit of a challenge since I will be using different mediums as opposed to the oil and acrylic paints that I am used to.

hilarious. My brother keeps telling me to get the Ridgeline and plaster "Nguyen" across the back window.
