Big Mac Attack!

Getting into the vinyl racket, I knew i wanted to make laptop decals. Because I live in Indiana, I don't see a lot of Macbooks out and about. I only ever saw them on television shows, so I began to think that they were just the laptop equivalent of 555 phone numbers! But no, they are real! People actually own them and use them! It came as no surprise, then, that people also wanted to slap stickers on them!

Now, there is no shortage of clever decals that incorporate the glowing Macintosh Apple. But, as I began to search around, I began to see the same decals over and over and over: Iron Man, Snow White, Totoro, Yoshi....the list goes on and yet the diversity seemed so lacking. So, to break up the monotony, I've uploaded a few of my custom Macbook decals. If you see something you like or have any clever sugg
estions, then feel free to comment! Who knows, maybe the most clever idea will get a surprise? Enjoy!


#1. Serenity Macbook
This was my very first sale on Etsy! I love Firefly and jumped right on this Alchemy request! Brown Coats forever!


#2. Hobbes Mac

When I got into this business, I vowed to never cut a "Calvin Pissing on [insert logo]" no matter what, because Calvin and Hobbes is my all-time favorite comic! I would never want to sully such a beloved piece of my childhood.



#3. Miles Davis Mac
This customer gets a lot of comments on his Macbook. I admit that I am unfamiliar with Miles Davis' work. But, I loved the design and the customer was appreciative enough to buy 2 and upload this great picture!



#4. Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Mac
I do not play Warhammer, but I am a fan of tabletop war-gaming! The many 40K related jobs I've done has immersed me in the mythos and imagery, both of which I find very fascinating!



#5. Maleficent Mac
When Etsy decided to put their Alchemy feature on hiatus for undisclosed period of time, I was devastated! I would check Alchemy several times an hour all day long looking for custom jobs. Luckily, I snagged this custom request right before it went down. I am particularly proud of how it turned out as it required a fair bit of work.



I've designed and cut many other Macbook designs, but as of this posting I have not received any pictures of them applied. Since I now have followers (other than the obligatory girlfriend follower) I will start updating more often and including more content! Thanks for reading!
