How did we get here?

 

I am a result of early 2000s internet. The culture, the community the weirdness.

 

I am a very strange fella to be honest. It’s not often I get to be my true self due to this strangeness or weirdness or cringeness? I suppose?

I always feel that if I am let loose anyone would run a mile. Which, to be fair, is understandable. Everyone is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea! But I quite like my friends and would like to keep them, so I tone it down.

I think my sense of humour is unique in that, like I said before, most if not all of my peers don’t find it funny. The biggest influence in my humour has to be poorly translated t-shirts. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t get enough of them. This turned into a love for all kinds of crazy out there things people have put on shirts…

I fell in love with graphic t-shirts. Not like that green Legend of Zelda Triforce shirt every turbonerd had, but nicely designed, funny shirts.

And with my self-taught Graphic Design background I took a leap.

I wanted to make something that would serve as an outlet for my stupid weird side and play it off as a “business”.

But I didn’t just want a Redbubble account selling crap text shirts, I wanted something that would allow me to be creative and not have to answer to a TOS from a third-party eCommerce site.  I wanted this on my own. I learned what I could about the business, how to get a design from my PS or AI onto fabric and how to sell them.

And now I finally have a place to be a weird dork and create all kinds of shirts from basic to more fashionable pieces and if you like them, YOU CAN BUY THEM!

This is the longest I’ve ever stayed at one thing in my life! I haven’t given up on it so it must be what I’m meant to do with my time! Right?
