Adorable Bob Ross-Themed Gadget Skins For Happy Tree-Like Memories

Kristy Korcz — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 11:55:22 PST

I may not have the "artsy" gene, and can't paint a barn to save my life, but I watched Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting every single week when I was a kid. Not only was he the king of creating "happy little trees," but his voice was so soothing I often fell asleep while watching him paint. If you don't know who Bob Ross is, then I feel old.

So imagine my excitement when I came across these Infectious The EarlYears ($14 and up) gadget skins from artist SteveORama. Fitting your BlackBerry, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and laptops, you can outfit your electronic essentials in happiness in Bob's familiar form and let them pose as daily conversation pieces as well. Bob Ross has quite the following, so be prepared for some "happy little tree" comments from your fellow commuters. Check out more images of the skins in the slideshow!

One-hundred percent of the net proceeds from each skin will go directly to the cause.

X-Ray Laptop Skin: Totally Awesome or Totally Weird?

GeekSugar — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 14:00:53 PDT

Am I the only one completely weirded-out by x-rays? I don't like them one bit, and even looking at this X-Ray Laptop Skin ($15) makes me shudder! The skin is designed at the correct perspective to actually look like an X-Ray as you sit behind it, and is available in only a 9x13" size.

It's a little much for me . . . but what do you think?

GeekSugar — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:00:22 PST

First we had the work of Tim Burton, then the great art style of Frank Miller, now we can look forward to sticking Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, and much more to our beloved gadgets.

Today, GelaSkins announced its latest comic-themed skins from Marvel. Choose from 75 templates for your laptops, iPhones, and iPods, some of which were ripped straight from the comics themselves. Personally, I like the comic book cover collage which features new and retro covers alike. Would look pretty sick on your laptop, no? Prices start at $15, so head over and choose your superhero now!

GelaSkins Brings Frank Miller to Your iPhones and Laptops

GeekSugar — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:47:01 PST

If you're a comics fan, you'll already know who Frank Miller is. But if the name isn't ringing any bells, let me introduce you. Frank Miller is a Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse graphic novelist, and the genius mind behind both Sin City and 300. His distinct noir esthetic inspired a new style of filmmaking, and such, he brings his unique taste to your laptops and iPhones with the

Even if you didn't get to party with Tim Burton himself on Tuesday night for the unveiling of his career-spanning collection of art in NYC, you can still go check out the goods at the MoMA, and now can don your iPhone or laptop in his work as well. GelaSkins is known for their huge selection of artist-inspired gadget skins, and have plucked the artwork right out of Burton's "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories" and handed it to us in a collection called Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys.

The iPhone skins will set you back $15, and the Laptop skins start at $30, but seems like a deal if you're a Burton fangirl, or just adore his creepy-cute art, like I do.

Etsy Find: Cool Vinyl Laptop Decals

GeekSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:05:19 PDT

If the Twilight laptop skin isn't your thing, then maybe this selection of cool and geeky ones will be. I first found this awesome Snow White laptop decal (which reminded me of yet another Twilight-themed decal), which incorporates your Apple logo into the piece. But then I kept browsing the shop and got hooked on all of the totally geeky decals, which can be used on your laptop, your Kindle, your walls, or wherever you want to stick 'em.

Good news is that these decals were made to be attached and then pulled off later, so you won't have any sticky residue after you've outgrown your artsy vinyl. Plus, with prices starting at $13 each, you can't really go wrong. Check out a few more of my faves below!
