End of the Year Special! - These are back until January 5th!
Since it’s the special, we do customized designs. For example, if you want one with ‘Musician’, ‘Animator’, ‘Programmer’, or anything else, send us an ask and we got you.
I bought the writer one ages ago and I still have people stopping me to read it. Last guy that did was a barista at Starbucks. He high fived me and agreed.
Storytime. Last year I bought the ‘Being a musician is…’ hoodie and wore it to the pub I always go to. I ordered a beer and the bartender/owner inspected my hoodie, looked me in the eye, and said ‘So what instrument do you play?’ I explained to him that I am the lead guitarist in a rock band and he asked me if he could listen to one of our songs. I pulled out my phone and opened Soundcloud. He loved it and asked if the band could play that Saturday in his pub! I accepted.
This got me thinking so I decided to visit three other pubs and landed another gig! The rest of the band got super hyped and we all ordered the musician hoodie. We were thinking BIG. We made a plan to structurally visit all pubs and cafes in Berlin and that of surrounding cities. After two days of drinking beers in Berlin, I shit you not, we landed 12 gigs!
Fast-forward a year later, and we are booked for the next six months, two-three times a week! Bless this hoodie.
Into the Spider Verse is finally doing what mainstream CGI animation should have been doing for years: creating visuals only possible BECAUSE of the chosen medium.
CGI is a modern crutch. It’s cheaper than 2D by a landslide, and easier to churn out with the support of a studio.
But the actualization of a medium clicks when the medium is being used in ways that only it can. Focusing on rendering every hair, on recreating beautiful photo-realistic landscapes, that’s fine. It’s impressive. But the approach reaches a point where we’re left wondering:
“Why didn’t you just make a live action movie?”
Spider Verse brings the aesthetic, the aim, and the FUN of comics to the screen in a gorgeous way. I’m fucking thrilled that Miles is getting such a beautiful, unique, and frankly revolutionary introduction to the big screen.
The bathroom at work has a motion sensor light that turns off every 30 seconds so every time I try to take a fucking shit at work I gotta have a rave party with my arms while sitting my ass on the toilet or else I’ll just sit in pitch blackness
did U GUYS KNOW, that the way stores get the balloons off of the ceiling is with ANOTHER balloon, w tape on the top??? and they just dont cut the string so it’s like super long and u gotta aim it right n reel it in. i just found that out today when i DID IT and it’s been the best working day of my life i had a blast blowing up balloons and fetching some off the ceiling. i had so much power? and NO ONE ELSE in my department likes that job so now it’s MY job when need be
omg so I work at a museum and one of our buildings has a) very high ceilings and b) a bizarrely sensitive alarm system that will go off if anything touches the ceiling. Because of this, helium balloons are considered public enemy #1 and are strictly forbidden from entering the museum. But just in case an illicit balloon is successfully smuggled in, the museum has acquired a fucking b.b. gun for the express purpose of shooting down rogue balloons.
