the ‘create or die’ cube grenade

One of my Twit­ter follo­wers sent me the pho­to­graph above. It’s the “Create or Die” image, down­loa­ded off my blog, prin­ted out and stuck onto his cube wall. Clas­sic “Cube Gre­nade” action.
If you fancy one of these for your­self, well, that’s easy enough. I’ve repos­ted the same image imme­dia­tely below. Just click on the image, down­load the high-rez ver­sion, print it out, find a wall and some Scotch tape, et Voila! Ins­tant Cube Gre­nade.

If you want the more ups­cale ver­sion, there’s the large, high-quality, sig­ned, limited-edition print I’ve got for sale on the gallery web­site. And of course, if you are already a subsc­ri­ber to my CDF News­let­ter, the “hush-hush top sec­ret” offer I made to y’all last week is still open.
I know that if I put enough good stuff out there, create enough inte­rac­tion, my busi­ness model would emerge even­tually. I like my print busi­ness and the idea behind it, but already I see it as a small sub­set of the much lar­ger Cube Gre­nade idea.
We live in inte­res­ting times…
[P.S. If you have any of my Cube Gre­na­des in your pos­ses­sion, please can you e-mail some pho­tos of them to me? Thanks]

    Just clic­ked, copied, prin­ted and thumb­tac­ked. Right next to the feathery twit­ter bird my son made and the pic­tu­res of all three of the kid­dos — the ulti­mate metaphor for “create or die” :) It’s now my ins­pi­ra­tion for today’s design work. Thanks, Hugh! Kaboom.

  2. I chea­ted — not being handy with scis­sors or tape I made an elec­tro­nic ver­sion that dis­plays car­toons thanks to the magic of Win7 the­mese

  3. Suc­cinct. Got it. Great stuff Hugh.

  4. A print-sized ver­sion of the “Qua­lity isn’t job one” card would be a great cube gre­nade:
