hand cursor alternates

After the hugely successful Hand & Arrow Cursors post that went viral a few weeks ago thanks to swissmiss and Michael Surtees, I decided to follow up with a iconographic exercise with the OS X 'Mickey Mouse glove' hand cursor.

There's 9 12 versions of the hand:

1. standard OS X, roll-over-link hand
2. thumbs up
3. thumbs down
4. fist (or 'grab' state)
5. the finger (you know which one)
6. The 'hang-ten', or alternately - the I-hold-my-drink-like-a-nancy hand
7. the rock-n-roll hand
8. the spidey-web-spinning-hand (swappable with the rock-n-roll hand)
9. the talk-to-the-hand hand, or stop-right-there hand
10. A-OK
11. Fingers crossed
12. peace sign

download them all here as a PSD.

UPDATE: I've added a fourth row of additional icons.

*I've gotten a few requests already for the *shocker* version. I'd like to keep this post PG-rated. I think there's enough reference material to make your own versions. :-)
