Part of why I went white for the first time ever was that I'm sick of how filthy my black laptop always looks. Cat fur, dust, and other lint seem magnetically attracted to it. So I figured I'd get something lighter-colored and sleek. Something that'd be easy to keep clean and would make me want to. But then I wasn't sure if I should ever put stickers on it. Then I knew exactly what to do.
Starheadboy, who I have tons of art by (including tattooed on my body!) had a sale recently on Threadless. $12 t-shirts! I got three, and they're great, but one sad thing was that since a big company was fulfilling the order, it didn't come packed with stickers and other goodies like orders that come straight from him do. But I remembered I had a big packet of stickers he sent me a long time ago, and by using only one artist's stickers, I was able to give a cooler, more uniform look than I would have by collecting stickers over time. And they're all black/white/gray, too.
I love the way this turned out and it's also nice that they're stickers he made himself in a printer that aren't super strong, so I can easily peel them off if I ever want to.
My old laptop is heavy and clunky but it still works great, so it's not going anywhere. But I'm also glad I don't have to feel like I'm about to break my wrist picking it up several times a day.
