Gojira Pedals, who make all sorts of fantastic custom guitar effects pedals, wanted to put some of my artwork on their pedals!!! So of course I let them :D

This is the image Gojira Pedals used. 
Have you ever tried burning receipts and found it rather difficult? 
Have you ever tried to keep an important receipt in your wallet and its gone blank? 
This is because a lot of them aren't printed with ink, the writing is actually made by hot pads that turn the paper's surface black upon contact. I kinda figured this out whilst casually sat about holding a lighter to a receipt, as you do, then blue tac'd them to my wall for.... quite some time. 
When I found them again something strange had happened. 
The surface had formed crystals, they looks like some kind of enchanting alien landscape.
The crystals are hard to see on the photographs, but they are the tiny dots.
I have no idea why they are there, perhaps it might have something to do with whatever makes it blacken with heat? Some sort of carbon layer? Diamonds are made of carbon..... hmmmm....

Here is the unedited image

Here is the finished pedal!! 
A brilliant little Octafuzz stomp box! 
who wouldnt want to lower their guitar an entire octave and kick in some killer fuzz with just ONE switch? 

It's fair to say I am well and truly chuffed! 

THANKS GUYS!!!
