This is a side of the cardboard box I use for holding Halloween trick-or-treat candy. It's decorated with various shapes and typography done in the vector graphics program Freehand. About eight inches on a side. The font on the color label is a vector version of an old bitmap font.

Could be considered fan art.

The download is large enough that all the lettering can be read.

I did download the image to read the fine details, and found it even more hilarious. I wonder if your Halloween visitors appreciated the fine humor?;)

I doubt it; but I had fun making it. I did the first sketch for the Psionic Hazard warning back in the days when I was doing layout work with rub-on lettering. I realized it would take a huge amount of time I didn't have available, and filed it away. A few decades later, when I was working with Freehand, I came across the sketch and realized that I now had tools that let me do that stuff an order of magnitude or two faster. :)

Now that you mention it, I'm trying to recall when I made the same transition from rub-on lettering. Digital has become so commonplace, I'd almost forgotten the earlier methods (including hand-lettering with technical or calligraphy pens)

I was tempted to get a Leroy and lettering guides, but figured I wouldn't be using it that much. I was right. :) I was given a special technical pen with cams that automatically made lines in various dot patterns, but I passed it on to a friend who actually was doing lots of mechanical drafting work by hand.
