Mariah
Posted by tim in Uncategorized on November 13th, 2009
It’s always been my sweet, sweet fantasy to print drum heads for Mariah Carey. As Gabrielle, my other favourite female star, once said; dreams can come true. And this week they not only can, but have.
Carey is going to be using UK Television as the preferred medium to spread her gospel to the furthest shores of this moist isle, and potentially even further. To do this, of course, a custom skin from CUSTOMSKINS is just not going to be up to the job. That’s why you need TWO custom skins from CUSTOMSKINS. With gold butterflys.
Apologetic Friday Photo Edition
Posted by tim in Uncategorized on September 25th, 2009
Listen readers of BLOG, really sorry for the absence of posts for a couple of weeks. Things have been pretty busy at customskins.co.uk - we’ve been flat out organising the Michael Jackson memorial concert, working on our uranium enrichment program, and I was in hospital for a bit because Clive ordered me to crash my car on purpose.
To make up for the break I thought I’d do a slightly rushed Friday Photo edition which captures the spirit of Customskins HQ on Friday 25th September 2009.
1. NME Radar Drum Head
A couple of weeks ago a nice chap from NME rang the Customskins Batphone and he was like, dudes, can you dudes do a drumskin for, like, the NME Radar Tour. And I was like, yeah dude, and he was like, cool, and I was like, safe, sorted. Today the Customskins Batphone rang again and it was the same dude, and he was like, is my drumskin ready dudes, cos the tour is, like, totally ready to hit the road. I was like, no dude, I totally forgot about it, how random is that? He was like, that’s pretty random dude, but can we have it today, and I was like, sure dude. And here it is:
In the photo you can see the nice floor that we laid at customskins HQ, and my new shoes. On the NME Radar tour you can see Golden Silvers, Marina and the Diamonds, Local Natives and Yes Giantess.
2. EVEN people in the music industry have a bad day sometimes
We always have a good day at Customskins HQ, but then again we’re not really music industry. Contrary to popular wisdom, some people DO actually get jobs in the music industry though, and amazingly sometimes they have bad days, just like normal people. Here’s somebody who’s having a bad one:
Being the consumate professional I am, I finished my lunch and then made the drum head. And then changed my number.
3. I drew a duck then coloured it in using t’computer
To show off my mad illustration and photo manipulation skills here a picture of a duck I drew, which I then took a photo of and coloured in on Photoshop:
Pretty cool huh?
Have a nice weekend!
How not to reorder a drum head
Posted by tim in Uncategorized on August 5th, 2009
Reordering a previously printed drum head is no hassle for you, and even less for us. However, to ensure a smooth transaction it’s always best to make any design alterations prior to ordering rather than on delivery:
Pure solid gold blunt

Today we’ve been printing a drum head for James Blunt. It’s got a mirror gold finish and if you have eyes you can see a snapshot of it above. Later Arthur the Interlink man will collect it and take it to Helsinki.
Now, we’re fans of Blunt here at customskins. Not really for his music which, as you probably know, is wetter than the Pacific Ocean. Nope, more for the man himself. Would there be anyone better to be on a world tour with? Not only would you be surrounded by supermodels, but security is unlikely to be an issue since James Blunt famously led the entire British Army into battle, armed only with an adjustable spanner.
Should the world ever be invaded by hostile aliens Independence Day style, you can forget about Will Smith. Blunt will take on the entire population of the Planet Zark single-handedly, and still have enough energy to shag Giselle afterwards.
Most of all though, I reckon he’d be a great touring buddy because he doesn’t take himself too seriously. You can imagine sitting in a Russian bar, vodka in hand, Blunt holding court with tales of battles and conquests, all delivered with his characteristic self-deprecating wit.
Oi, Klum, get a round in!
