Another tricky one from 2008. if I ever manage to restore my old hard drive from pre-art school, I will dig deeper. The oldest reference I can find to this image was actually from ffffound, so you know how that goes. Looks like it did the rounds on Tumblr as well, which is probably where I stole it from in 2008.

This one is tricky, so I might have to revisit it. The earliest I can find is a deviant art image, but my file was saved more than a year before. to add an extra wrinkle, my file has exif data, but that is missing the date it was taken. to be continued.

Squid was first.
Then the hypno hand.
Then I made a sticker sheet of a whole bunch of stuff.
Then the cloud mountain one
And the diamond tooth.
I’ve made heaps of stickers since. But these were the first.
had to make a quick logo for this new llllost project.
its a play on ffffound. RIP ffffound.

llllost is going to be a series of posts where I try to track down the origin of images in my "stolen images" folder.
I started doing something similar on my now defunct konbini blog, but I never got far. I was doing 10 at a time, but this format will just focus on 1 image, that I try to reverse image search and find the origin of...
