Pure solid gold blunt
Today we’ve been printing a drum head for James Blunt. It’s got a mirror gold finish and if you have eyes you can see a snapshot of it above. Later Arthur the Interlink man will collect it and take it to Helsinki. Now, we’re fans of Blunt here at customskins. Not really for his music […]
