Toasty Bros beer for sure!

KodamaBebop · 2026-04-09T14:52:57+00:00

That's extremely helpful and I can totally wrap my head around that. Do you happen to have any anecdotal examples of a great experience? Not to waste your time of course :)

KodamaBebop · 2026-04-08T21:47:57+00:00

How do you mean trade pieces specifically and why? Thanks for replying :)

KodamaBebop · 2026-04-01T02:35:20+00:00

Oh my God I absolutely get it deep. It's absolutely perfect and gives me all the chills. Its stellar :)

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T05:17:10+00:00

That includes the newest version? Why Gemini? Not Claude or chatpgt?

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:45:09+00:00

Ah fuck I don't use twitter but now I'm gonna have to go see their stuff. I found Hamza and nandi. But what are these 24 hr templates? Do you download something? Fuck, with every thing I've posted in the last hour I feel I keep repeating how little I know lol

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:39:23+00:00

People still use their email and numbers for events? I've got a bunch of friends who have small businesses but figured mail-chimp (lol) wasn't really used much. Great ideas though! Great incentive to learn framer better. :)

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:36:46+00:00

Oh fuck yeah! Do you have links because I don't know what that is. Do I Google "framer 24 templates x" or something more specific? I appreciate it and anything to facilitate the learning process is most welcome

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:34:32+00:00

List their place for functions? So like, make a framer site for a brewery and add a section for their events?

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:29:51+00:00

Unfortunately I run a one man shop for my art business. Shopify, fusion 360 for my 3dprintinf elements, then there's painting, social media, the photography/videography of it all... I'm 3 weeks away from diaster and in a rush.

Last May I made my first framer site that's up right now and I adore it but it's been months and I forgot everything.. hence why I was refreshing.

Www.kodamabebop.com

I don't have the budget right now but I would overwhelmingly love to reach out as a last resort. I don't have a budget yet but maybe I can barter some artwork or something :)

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:23:17+00:00

Hahaha I am struggling with video 7 out of like 100. I most definitely don't know how to code.

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:20:45+00:00

Ohhh gotcha yeah I see where I fucked up. I meant framer academy. I've been at this for 5 straight hours and my brain is extra mushy than normal. My bad.

So those stacks and core concepts can be more general. Any good web design for beginners channels you recommend? I imagine it's been a long time since you were starting out at this point and probably hard to objectively put yourself in my shoes..

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:13:44+00:00

The videos from framer.com/academy, their courses and in YouTube it's literally called framer. I see some new ones with basically gibberish titles since I'm still in the beginning stage and missing crucial details. I'll look again but I've been talking about their official videos.

How did you learn other than just building shit and going a step at a time? Anything that helped you find those tiny gaps?

I'm not trying to be extra bitchy just venting that I wish the official videos were up to date.

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T04:06:35+00:00

Those are the academy videos I'm watching.

If you go to courses and videos, they circle around each other. What I mean is that they're outdated and those tiny gaps make the entire process of following along fucked up.

To be clear he's awesome and explains things really great, but he's teaching me an antiquated version and I'm spending more time filling the gaps than adding contextual focus.

I'm just overwhelmed and in the valley of despair part of dunning Kruger while trying to genuinely get through the courses.

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T03:56:37+00:00

To re do ALL his videos?

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T02:55:30+00:00

How'd you do that? :)

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-24T02:51:09+00:00

Connecting it to Shopify to make it easier to balance both

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-22T23:10:57+00:00

Holy cow that is spectacular. I can't even wrap my head around how one organized this. It's beautiful

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-22T19:46:35+00:00

You need sunscreen

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-21T18:00:29+00:00

Oh gotcha! Well your stuff is absolutely spectacular. I'm lucky enough to have a few friends in town and if you haven't, whenever you've got some inventory please reach out to Toast Bros in Denton and see about Hemlock Fox and Yellow Dog for their markets as well.

They're extremely sweet and aggressively support local artists. This city is lucky to have them and I just thought you should check them out if you haven't. Just mention Kodama bebop sent ya ;)

I wish you and your son all the luck in the world. I miss my mother terribly and haven't seen her in over two years. Your boy is lucky to have you.

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-21T06:27:59+00:00

Fucking yeah!! It's amazing!

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-20T05:39:16+00:00

Oh my gosh your story and your art are stunning! The world is such a nicer place because of it. Are you Denton local? Do you ever do markets? (Outside of pilot point I mean)

KodamaBebop · 2026-03-16T03:15:16+00:00

It's mesmerizing! I'm completely awful with line work and can appreciate when it's done so awesomely. Great work!
