Custom Order #12: Ron Jeremy. Yes. THAT Ron Jeremy.

This might be one of the funniest wallets I've ever been asked to create, and I love it. My friend's boyfriend requested a simple, smaller duct tape wallet to replace his bulky, flashy hot pink one (not made by me). And he wanted Ron Jeremy on it. We opted for porn star stud Ron, rather than his fat, icky older self, and think it turned out at an extreme level of awesome.

 

 

Custom Order #11: Radiohead

Ok. This is hands down one of the COOLEST wallets I have EVER made. I wanted to keep it. My boyfriend wanted to keep it. Seriously. It almost came to fisticuffs. Luckily the dude who got it loved it...as he well should.

 

 

 

Not-Quite-Custom Order #10: Smurfs Purse

For one reason or another, I never seem to take pictures of the items that I make for myself. But apparently I had my thinkin' cap on back in August when I concocted this fun little purse. It's a prototype for a new, smaller, purse design that I hope to have in my shop soon. I carried it a LOT over the summer and got a lot of compliments on it, which is always nice.

Custom Order #9: Bunch of Dudes

Yet another custom order for a friend of mine! She handed me a bunch of old magazines and asked me to pick out photos of a bunch of her favorite male celebs (her favorites being JT and Rupert Grint) and put them on a wallet for her. Mission accomplished.

   

Not-Quite-Custom Order #8: Garbage Pail Kids "Antsy Nancy"

Anyone else out there remember the Garbage Pail Kids? I had a bunch of the oversized sticker cards as a kid (got them out of my 2nd grade teachers prize box!). Anyway, they still make some of the cards, which I picked up on impulse a few years back. I rediscovered them in my stash of stuff and thought they'd be PERFECT for some wallets. I was right.

This trifold wallet went to my sister, who has the same awesome taste as me (I carry a similarly colored mini version). Another mini wallet version, Max Wax, is available in the shop.

 

 

Custom Order #7: Smurfs!

This custom order request is one of my favorites because, well, SMURFS! When I was contacted about making this custom order, I did a little research and found that there had been a comic book series of the Smurfs from back in the early 80s. This particular issue dates back to 1982, which is even older than I am. I was also asked to include a change pocket (it snaps shut!) and because she told me that she had a Papa Smurf tattoo, I tried to make it all about the head smurf. Love how this turned out!

Custom Order #6: Superjail!

Back in July I was comissioned to create a wallet with images from the [adult swim] show Superjail! I was given the images to work with, and here's how it turned out!

Custom Order #5: The Flash (Comic)

The Flash was pretty popular last July. I had two custom requests for Flash wallets within the same week! This one features images of the Flash from Justice League #20, and there's a little bit of Wonder Woman in there for some extra awesomeness.

Custom Order #4: The Flash (Logo)

Back in the summer I received a request for a custom wallet featuring the logo for The Flash. Oddly enough I had made one featuring his logo before (and also one of Captain America's shield) for my boyfriend. The only difference this time around was that she wanted there to be the black line around the bolt and the circle. It was a little bit of a challenge, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out (and so was she!).

Not-Quite-Custom Order #3: Star Wars Purse

I love this purse. It didn't start out as a custom order, but it was purchased straight off of my floor before I ever had a chance to list it in my shop! But I am certainly not complaining. This bag is made of 100% duct tape (no paper, cardboard, fillers) so it holds its shape without being too stiff or unmanageable.

It also features the cover to the 1981 Marvel comics serial of The Empire Strikes Back, and, yes that is Darth Vader fighting Luke Skywalker right there on the front. Too freaking cool. If this piques your interest, please check out what other bags are in the shop or let me know if you're interested in a custom order.

Custom Order #2: Thor

Oh, Thor. One of Marvel Comics, um, manliest characters? Well, regardless this wallet was a lot of fun to make. I was asked to come up with something featuring Thor and was otherwise given free reign...and it turned out hilarious! A regular 8-pocket bifold, the wallet is made from duct tape and features clippings from an old Thor comic book. Yeah, and that's the super scrull getting whacked in the face by Thor's hammer. Hilarity.

Custom Order #1: Happy Day

This custom order is certainly not the first wallet I have whipped up for a friend, but it's definitely one of my favorites. The image comes from a note card that my friend picked up at a cute little shop here in Atlanta, and I customized my regular bifold wallet with a change pouch that snaps shut. I made it for her back in April 2009, and it's still holding strong.

Sorry for the somewhat crummy pictures! They don't do this baby justice.
