So I built the technology in 1998, and for a few months Zarf and I designed a bunch of really cool custom cubes. (Click on any cube for a larger image.)

And then for the next three years I said no to everyone who wrote to me asking if I could make them a custom cube. I just didn't have the time to deal with it - since what was really needed was a good template that could be dowloaded and sent back to me with the artwork all ready to print - and I had no idea what to charge for one, since I had never kept track of how long it takes to make one.

But finally, in early 2001, someone came to me with a cool enough idea that I decided to make the time. They needed 18 identical custom cubes for a node of a giant scavenger puzzle hunt they were running out in San Francisco. What did I learn? That I never want to make 24 sets of custom cube stickers in one sitting ever again. Yowza that was a lot of work. I'm no longer making these really cool cubes for many reasons, one of them being that I no longer own the huge steel industrial paper cutter that's crucial to the process.

If you are looking for custom cubes: Please give Jeff Hubar a call at The Print Box (212-741-1381) or visit him online. He's a nice guy, and he says he will print anything on anything - including on Rubik's cubes. Please be sure to tell him that Kristin Looney sent you!
