Lately it seems people are coming to me for strange stuff... A couple of weeks ago I lettered a couple of cell phone face plates to look like NASCAR's (very simplified), yesterday I had to put a radio stations logo on the front of an electric guitar (some kind of a promo give away thing) and I am in the process of trying to figure out how to tell a customer that I really don't want to recover and trim out their recptionists desk with laminate to match the sign I did a few months ago. The sign had a oak frame around a piece of mdo covered in laminate. I told them a cabinet or furniture shop would be much cheaper and easier but they just don't want to take no for an answer!

Still exploring possibilities for creatively blocking out the sun in a nearly 600 sq ft multi-panelled skylight for a client. See "Off the Wall Project" posting elsewhere for details if you're interested.
