I see these on ebay all the time lol...and you cant google Deftones without seeing that picture a hundred times. I always assumed that it was deftones related cuz ive seen it on shirts and all kinds of shit. If dont dont work in marketing you should cuz that logo is fucking genius lol

I did not add it or anything. The cat was used in 1995 on several items like promo's, t-shirts and such but there was never really a good high resolution pic available. I own a postcard with the same cat which i scanned and made a wallpaper of. The wallpaper became popular here and was spread on the net. Now it's being used on merch.

I see. I knew it was on the cover 2 like linus but i wasnt sure if it was the orginal cover or a fan made cover.

It was the cover of a Bored promo. Like Linus is a bootleg with all Deftones demo's and because of that fanmade.

I think in the deftones show in argentina some random people were selling that same image as a pin sly. I guessed it was yours.
