This was a fun one. I was commissioned to create a wallet for a member of the biker gang the Blue Meanies. I was given their official logo, slogan and a dancing, winged skeleton because, well, it's just cool. I made up the triple-skeleton image a la Grateful Dead for the inside of the wallet, and was able to match the font for the slogan with the font used on their logo. We're both pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Custom Order #16: Fitter Happier
I. Love. Radiohead. A friend of mine dug this image up online and thought it would make a PERFECT Radiohead trifold wallet. I almost wanted to keep the end result for myself...

Custom Order #15: The Crow
This wallet was commissioned, forcefully, by a friend whose wallet was, literally, falling apart at the seams. A wallet is officially no good when it starts dropping all of your stuff. ANYWAY. The dude is a big fan of The Crow and gave me the cover from his DVD to cut up for the wallet. Here's how it turned out:

Custom Order #14: Fly Fry, Fly!
So Futurama is awesome. We know this. So, it's not surprising that, since my shop was all out of Futurama-themed items, that I was contacted to create one! The result is one of my favorite wallets that I have ever made. The buyer asked me if I could come up with something purple and told me her favorite character was Fry. So I whipped out my purple duct tape, and clipped an awesome picture of Fry from one of my Futurama graphic novels. Ta-da!
Custom Order #13: Purple Argyle
I love argyle. I can't help it. In 6th grade you couldn't cleave me from my argyle sweater vest (whatever, I wish I STILL had it) and my current cell phone has an argyle theme. It's good stuff. So, naturally, it's inevitable that I would one day combine my love of argyle and my love of duct tape into one fancy concoction...and so I have!
With a few different color schemes up in my shop, I was contacted to specifically make an argyle trifold wallet, based on this design, but replacing the pink with purple. It was a pretty great idea. So I made it for her!

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.
