    Where does he have the squirrel one?? I was just about to whip out my credit card when I saw it but it’s not on his main etsy page ) =

    Looks like they’re only going up in the Store from time to time in quantities of 1. I just managed to nab one of the squirrel ones by being quick!

    Looks like a rabid squirrel.

    I like the old school rainbow Apple design. It’s a shame they can’t go back to that. A decal or stick would be sweet!

    The “Bust’n a NUT” squirrel is currently sold out. I’ll have more of him in a couple weeks! Plus more designs to come. In the mean time check out my other designs…www.vinylville.etsy.com and http://www.flickr.com/photos/viee/
