About Us

Image
Ten years ago, a tiny company called Metamouse Design Works got its start on geocities. It was chiefly a graphic design studio back then, offering business services like logo design and web sites. As time went on, however, the artists became dissatisfied with the bland world of business. After all, they were in it for the ART, not the business, but they had been trapped into following the trend. Somewhere along the corporate way, ART had ceased to be the reason. They had lost sight of what was really important - cosplay, zombie pirates, and the smell of spray paint. And so, we come to  Studio 71... Want a badass costume for Comic-Con? Yeah, we do that. Need a unique mock-up or prop for your presentation? Yeah, we do that too. Browse our fine art or sketch galleries, or partake of our free downloads, no registration required. Don't be afraid to contact us - special orders and odd requests are always welcome. And, of course, we still do logo design and corporate imaging. Huzzah! B

Brilliant Cosplay: DIY Military Style Medals

Image
While simple in design and style, these military reproduction medals are more than convincing, even at close inspection. "Sons of Liberty" medal is strung from whip-stitched white sateen ribbon. "Pathfinder" medal hangs from whip-stitched tartan taffeta ribbon. Both medals have easy fasten pin backs. These medals were used as a part of the Halloween "Steampunk Pirates" costumes and received rave reviews. While these two medals were hand sewn, I will admit that the design's aesthetic appeal could be improved with a machined stitch. The ribbons themselves are made from an 6 inch length of 1 1/2 inch wide ribbon. A mark was made designating the center and the pin was sewn on to what would become the back. The ribbon was then folded wrong sides together and carefully stitched down either side before being sewn into a tapered point by folding the corners toward the back and sewing them together. The medals are suspended from stainless jeweler's rin

Free Holiday Wallpapers for your PC - Snowflakes and Ornaments

Image
These unique wallpaper designs were made using Photoshop CS6 and a tutorial from designstacks.com . The tutorial was great, as you can see by the end result, and even though I had to find my own link to the free snowflake brushes, it was well worth the time and effort. I learned a lot about shapes and how to manipulate them. I also learned how to create a digital master file that can be recolored with a few simple clicks. Being able to repeatedly re-use an image can mean the difference between hours or even days of work compared to just a few minutes. You can download one or all of them here for free. The images are all 1920X1200 at 300ppi in JPG format. I only ask that you don't repost them, sell them, or claim them as your own. That's how we keep things free, and plus, it's just plain polite. If you'd like to make your own wallpaper, there is a link to the tutorial in the description above, or you can click here.  Happy Holidays, and enjoy! #christmas #wallpa
