Now the angry freaky guy is up for purchasing as skins for iPhone, iPods and Laptops! Check all available skins HERE! Also don’t forget, the Bear is also up for sale as t-shirt at Design by Humans (currently sold out, but they will reprint i think).

And here’s some corporate stuff about Infectious:

It was a warm Spring 2000 and I was sharing an apartment in San Francisco’s Mission District with Mike, my old college buddy. Mike owned a beat-up old white Honda Civic Hatchback that looked just like the million other boring ass white hatchbacks out there. One day he decided that he wanted to have a donkey painted on it. Not just any donkey, but the one from his favorite book, Platero y Yo. Mike eventually persuaded a muralist to turn his car into this moving pastoral scene. It cost him $1000.
On many occasions I rode the streets of San Francisco in the eye-catching Platero-Mobile. It was an incredible experience. Bored kids in the back of their parents’ cars jumped up and down. Strangers at intersections stopped to ask questions. The car was literally a traffic-stopper. The seeds of Infectious were sown at that moment.
Mike was onto something, but here were just a few problems. It was expensive. It was permanent. It was a donkey.
So we took all the creativity of Mike’s moving canvas and remove all the negatives. And thus was born the idea of adhesive Car Art. But then we thought, why stop there… Laptops, iPhones, walls… Can’t just about any surface be a canvas?
Consider this a warning to blank surfaces everywhere.
