Nerdgasm: Laptop Art — Gotta Have Some

October 31, 2008 by Greg Ferro · 3 Comments 

I have art­work on my laptop. It’s my way of stick­ing it to cor­por­ate cul­ture. Sit down in busi­ness meet­ing with a laptop of bright col­ours — looks of envy! Make the world a happy place.
One thing that makes me unhappy is the cor­por­ate dull­ness that our desks, offices and laptop’s cre­ate. And cor­por­ate art is … well, crap. In one job they had pic­tures of happy mod­els dan­cing and play­ing on the sun. On a red sofa. At the beach. And the frick­ing sofa was in the water. And they had swim­ming clothes on.

I would have had a huge smile too. Paid to frolic in the water on sunny beach. Fan-​​bloody-​​tastic.

Yeah, look­ing at happy people fool­ing around is gonna motiv­ate me. Pftth. What are they thinking ?

So go and get your­self some art­work for your laptop. People always ask me about it. This is the design on my MacBook Pro and it looks fantastic.

My favour­ite thing is to bring it out in a high level cor­por­ate meet­ing — cue jeal­ous looks all round. And a smug Ethereal Mind

I love this Gelaskin as well:

Where to buy it

There are two com­pan­ies that I would use to Infectious and Gelaskins.

I can per­son­ally recom­mend Gelaskins, using them for my iPhone and my 17″ MacBook Pro but the Infectious designs look pretty good too.

    If you like the gun and the skull design, you should check out art­work by H.R. Giger. He made these if I’m cor­rect: http://​www​.hrgiger​.com/
