This is kind of related to this page (but is definitely not a product I would ever make or sell).

I was toying with this whole "Pretty for a fascist" idea.

No one identifies as fascist anymore though the ideology (post democracy) still exists, it's all but gone in name only. The term instead seems to be thrown about as kind of a general insult leveled at politicians. So I had thought what if you were to humanize fascism in a very capitalist clothes catalogue sort of a way?

I mean, it's pretty safe in that no one identifies as being a fascist supporter so it wouldn't be taken in the opposite way than intended. Instead, it's hopefully just a thing that makes us question the use of the word "fascist" in political discourse while also having a dig at capitalism and its amoralistic leanings (Given that the word is used across the political spectrum to mean "thing I do not like" we can safely conclude it is bad).

In around a week, our online store will quite likely disappear.

We've been running on next to zero money and have been paying for an e-commerce solution. We haven't been making the sales needed to make the store self-sufficient and we are now finding it hard to justify borrowing more money to keep this going.

If you want something from the store, you may need to buy it within the next week. Otherwise, we probably won't be back until we have solutions for lowering our costs to next to zero (or have a sure fire plan for making the sales needed).

We've just changed our pricing! Everything is cheaper!

We've changed the structure of our pricing. Rather than including the cost of delivery into the cost of all of our items, we've separated it out. But even then we've managed to drop the overall cost on EVERYTHING.

Check out our new pricing at our website.

I thought I'd talk about this design a bit. Originally it existed as a hexagonal tessellation with a big pink circle in the middle.

The design here kind of came about when I was look at Van Gogh's Starry Night and was thinking "What if it was redone with s***m?" and so this is kind of just a test of what that sort of technique might look like (now that we're doing posters, this might become realised).

In which case it's kind of a statement about the state of the art world. While making a crack about spending hours "painting with s***m" a friend said to me "Oh I'm sure this isn't the first time that's happened". And Hannah Gadsby, on an episode of QI, talked about how awful the famous artists were and how the whole art world is just kind of a sexist quagmire.

In its tessellation form, it was used for a secret Santa. The sort of secret Santa where you're not sure who's going to end up with the thing (and people can "steal" a thing). Anyway, it was printed up on a t-shirt and the first guy who got it exclaimed:

"Yay! A t-shirt" and just a few seconds later, his look soured. "Wait. Is that s***m?!?"

I couldn't have been happier. That was kind of the perfect reaction. Probably not for someone getting the shirt, but perfect for someone seeing and being challenged by the shirt.

Luckily for him someone else "stole" it.

I'm assuming he wore it because the next thing I knew, he was laughing about the fact that the s***m had then been used for inspiration for cupcakes at a biology themed party. High school kids were told they could bring in whatever they wanted for a shared lunch type thing so long as it had a biology theme. So a friend of the daughter of this guy took in cupcakes that used smarties/pebbles/m&ms (I know smarties are something different in the US and I don't know if they have pebbles so I guess m&ms are about the closest I can be sure of) for the heads and a little tail made of icing.

I didn't get a photo of the cupcakes much to my regret though he did show me one.

'Who's your Daddy?' was kind of the very first design that we worked on and developed together.

"Dude thinks like a ra**st"

Have you ever found yourself thinking "holy hell that guy sounds like a ra**st"? Usually it's a whole lot of victim shaming ("What does she expect when she's dressed like that?"). Well... it's time to call it what it is: "Thinking like a ra**st".

From our rejected designs file:
Rejected because it's just too busy. The joke stops being first and if you were not familiar with "Bad Witch", you'd probably struggle to get the joke.
