SattaMac - Happy Classic

Another painted Mac ... this time it's a Mac Classic in the outfit of the legendary (and dearly missed) mac start up icon, the 'happy Mac'.
Purist will be pointing out that I should have used a MacPlus for this one ... sorry, I only have a few Plus's and wanted to test the concept first (I have a pile of Classics and SEs).

If you are a die-hard Mac fan you should check out my shirts on www.redbubble.com/people/satta/ ... I'm pretty sure you'll dig'em.

[EDIT nov08]: this baby is now available on shirts to -- hit the link above to get yourself one.

thanks mate.
... btw, I should also credit Susan Kare, who designed this classic icon in 1983. It survived until the introduction of OSX.

That is just asking for a papercraft version.

Satta van Daal says:

lachlan, do you have secret agents in my studio or is my office bugged? ;-)
a small series of papercraft macs based on my painted models is in the making and will hit the shelves sometime in the second half of 2008 -- so hold your breath!

minnone, what do you mean by 'can i put my sign?' .... i think the message got lost in translation. do you want to put this image on your buttons? send me a message.

I love it. My Macintosh Classic still works, but maybe I'll find a non-working one so I can do this too. :)
