You can go on zazzle.com and make your own buttons, or shirts, or what ever you want with Portal, even custom made postage stamps. They have a licensing agreement with Valve apparently. Cool

I think the guy is replenishing his stock, I think he makes them himself. I owe Hober $20 so I'll be buying him some!

Yeah but can you make 30 different ones for only $20?

Not sure, I never made any buttons. Custom made a shirt for $15.

Lolwut? The last time I used Zazzle for custom shirts (The F7 staff shirts), it was like $23 per shirt, after a bulk discount.

Ironically, it's for buying that shirt that msleeper owes me the sweet green.

I think that's the real value here. The original textures are not super-high res. Not nearly enough for print-quality buttons.

Edit: It's now 8:20AM EST and in the 10 mins since I wrote this post another bunch of the Portal buttons went up for sale. Hint, hint.

Price depends on the quality of the shirt. I opted for the low end.

I just wanted to say:

I looked through them, and was like: "man, if only these were sold as magnets, I'd buy them." Sure enough, a little bit more investigation confirmed my suspicions. He sold all 30 of them as magnets, so I bought 'em! Mr. Green

-Needless to say, I'm quite pleased! He even sent the pin attachments for free so I can change them out anytime I want! Here they are:

You need to make a cardboard Test Chamber sign with a metal backing where the warnings go.

Actually fuck, I might do that.

inb4 wall of text -
I hope Valve doesn't shut me down. But if they tell me to.. I will...

I was BoingBoing'd in February along with notcot.org and some other random blogs. And I'm still here...

Every image was vectored to 300dpi from the standard 64px image or crappy screen shots. One of which I didn't realize was actually from PennyArcade... I'd feel like more of a dick if I stole straight from a google image search. (a lot of etsy/ebay users do it)

Really a one man band here. I draw, print, cut, press, ship, them all myself.

thanks for the post!

Is there any way you could send me the high res vectors? I would kill for one of the Turret specifically!

Also, glad to see you here. Smile

I don't want to share all the vectors but I'd be happy to give out a few..

I'll have to dig up the raw files since I only ever see my print psd's.
I did half of them last December, the other half in I think Feb/March.

Pigsty of a harddrive...
