Who made it?

Through a series of swaps, favours and eyelash-fluttering, I did. Sort of. Indirectly.






Curse you and your fucking technicalities... I designed the stuff to be screened onto the front, at least. Apart from the main image which I stole from the internet.






I have to delete it, don't I?

hahahaha No, of course not. I find the aesthetics the hardest part, and you nailed that

Mocked it up in Photoshop, then laserprinted it before getting my screenprinting chum to work his magic on it.

I also painted the enclosure. Yes, that's right, the enclosure that all the paint's falling off.

If you've got a scanner at home or work, scan your blank enclosure - you can use this to make a drilling guide as well as a placement guide/massive decal. I'll help out if you want.

I have a super lame printer that has a scanner. That's a great idea. I'm definitely going to start doing this. Cheers.

May well get you to tidy up the scan into a transparent outline for me, mate.

I bet he doesn't even remember making it! That's how he treats us little people now he's a big famous tv star!

(Actually Euan made it, and I painted it. The tone control sometimes stops working, and the paint is coming off- yes, t'was a fine bit of teamwork)

A little annoying considering I put a whole can of clear coat on it, but nevermind- it allows the mojoarrows to permeate easier.

Yeah, I dunno what the issue is. More coats of primer, colour, clear, or all three?

I typically do 2 of each these days, and they're clearly not indestructable.

Something to do with 'bake them in a toaster oven'. What is a toaster oven? I have a toaster but the slots are too narrow.

haha they are more for people in apartments that dont have an oven, but they also blow up. Last summer me and my friends when through like 8 of them. they blow up for no reason, its pretty amazing. But they suck because they take roughly about 8 days to cook anything.
