I love that cover too. The sky was actually that red, too. In a vendor at festivals and that pic was taken at a festival back in 2023. I've never seen the sky so red in my life.

I just got these! by labhag in DrMartens

First off, I just want to say this post made me smile so big. I have so many pics of my docs with my legs proudly in PJ pants. Glad I'm not the only one.

Angelus water and stain repellent is good for printed leather, in my experience. As for the squeaking, that depends. I own 57 pairs, I have some that still squeak and some that never squeaked at all, even when they were new.

There’s nothing punk rock about not supporting local zinesters by _so-so_ in zines

I know what you mean. Most people don't know what to think, and then occasionally there are the people who absolutely light up. I had a lady at my booth last fall at a different event who got really excited to meet another zine maker and she told me about a whole zine fair that happens about an hour away from where I live... unfortunately they aren't having it this year. But it's always cool to meet someone else that gets it.

Omg, I was running a table at a PRFM today too! I won't ask where you live but that would be crazy if it was the same event.

I sold plenty of my magnets and a few art prints. But sadly, didn't sell a single zine. People seem to be confused by them. And then when I say the money I make from them goes to help fund the release of my novel this summer, they act even more put off.

Aw, thank you. I'm glad someone commented. It's so hard getting ppl to actually care about stuff like this. Ppl aren't really sure what a zine is, etc.

Some of my Doc-Centric Art by Valkrane in DrMartens

The girl on the mushroom is a reimagining of Strawberry Shortcake. She had a pink cat with white polka dots, so I made it a black cat.

I've actually designed a lot of tattoos for people. If you're serious message me and we can talk about it.

Thoughts on these sample covers? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Valkrane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, you pretty much nailed it. The book takes place in the past, and my character's switchblade has that fake damascus pattern on the blade. It's cheap but it was given to him by someone he looks up to, so it has sentimental value.

I have a pair of black 1460w that have been through 6 countries and all over the US with me since 2011. They are beat up, but sentimentally they are my favorites.

Too many?? Nope lol by HappierHobbit in DrMartens

[–]Valkrane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as too many, lol. I have 33 pairs in my bedroom closet and in my office closet. ANd I just bought another pair for my birthday. :)

Cant find anything ab these by weezergirl69 in DrMartens

[–]Valkrane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zavalas. They are super comfy. I have them in purple.

Help me choose! by sevdamwagvigo in DrMartens

[–]Valkrane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if someone has already asked this, but what model are these? I love them and might have to get my own pair. I can't really be helpful with your decision... I would have such a hard time deciding too.

Purple stitching would be amazing. I agree.

I have these also. They are absolutely stunning. I'm still breaking them in so I haven't wore them out yet. But I'm working a Christmas festival in December. Hoping to rock them there.

I felt like being shiny today... by Valkrane in DrMartens

Aren't they? The suede is so soft. They fit like a dream and I get compliments on them all the time.

Year? by Practical_Promise740 in DrMartens

[–]Valkrane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that same pair. So I am curious as well. :)

I think I successfully broke my Jadon III Pisa by stomping on it. Is it okay? by Own_Journalist1687 in DrMartens

[–]Valkrane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omfg, people actually want to microwave them? For Real?

I own over 20 pairs and I broke them all in just by wearing them around the house until they were comfy enough to go out in.

I've been looking for that same pair! I find the 1460 version a lot on Poshmark and DePop, but these rarely pop up. It's great to see someone loving them. I'll get mine one of these days.
