Have fun with your statement!

I often visit Bittbox – a site where a lot of free vector shapes or Illustrator tutorials are presented. I grabbed the last Illustrator Brushset and made this badge for everyone who likes Bittbox.

If you have one (applies to the Americans) or not, the new Apple-Toy polarizes. I think it’s a piece of contemporary art wether I can place calls or not. I would buy it if I could, still have to wait a little more here in Europe. For your statement (wether out of hatred or in the same position as me) here’s the weekly badge.
