I don't know about 'volunteering', but I do intend to have a number
of the little nameplates with daemons on made.
A few days ago I find a company in these parts that does this sort of
thing ( http://skomoe-skilte.dk/ ) at reasonable prices.
However:
I don't want to be in the business of selling things, so I intend
to just give these away.
Kirk charges royalties for runs larger then 75 items.
I don't off-hand want to spend a large sum on this.
Still, at least the cleaned up image and possibly my experiences
to follow might be useful for others considering this.
We'll see.
