I'm kinda addicted to the standard 2" hexagon stickers. I decided to make my own since they didn't all come in hex. Whoever loses between Obsidian and Trilium (open to other suggestions) gets replaced with ceph.

A honeycomb arrangement of hexagonal stickers on a macbook, each featuring a mosaic-style design of technology and open source logos. Visible designs include Steam, Bash, Ubuntu, Home Assistant, Raspberry Pi, Android, Tux the Linux penguin, Nextcloud, Debian, and many others. Each sticker has a textured, painterly appearance with triangular mosaic cells creating the images.

Is that an AI butthole in the middle?

    That's neat :) I like the concept of a collection of warm&fuzzies symbols

    How are you making the stickers? It looks like each sticker is composite of multiple snippets of art?

    I went through a few print providers and found Printify's default sticker printer to be really good. Much better quality than I had been getting out of the Redbubble or Teepublic printing. And yes, each logo is actually a composite of 24 triangles that makes a mosaic that resembles the logo. It was fun to make them and then squint and be like, yeah, that does look like the Debian swirl. After I finished my laptop I kept making new ones and put them up for sale. If there's any project you think I should do next, let me know.

    Snippets as in digital snippets collaged together? Or did you hand draw/paint them? It looks almost like the images we used to make of magazine snips.

    I do love an old scool craft project.

    Hmm let's start a fight.

    Selects hexagon at random

    THAT? You have THAT crap on your wall? Gross!

    (More seriously, this is awesome and I appreciate the creativity. Hexagons are the bestagons.)

    Lol, I try not to take the complaints too seriously. What's it missing though? What project do you think there needs to be a hexagon floor?

    That's awesome, have something similar but for national parks. Are you cutting them with a vinyl cutter?

    I wish it was that sophisticated. I 3D printed a stencil or jig to line up the edges and use a razor knife on my kitchen cutting board. It works well enough. pic of jig I did originally consider national parks or cities. I came up with it on vacation and saw some cities have their own distinctive stickers. The problem I ran into was details are hard to resolve with the art style I'm using. Words are even worse. I did a series with US states before this. I might have to revisit this when I'm tired of hex FOSS.
