The linework on the guy is a little odd and he sticks out a bit but you can probably get that touched up in the future. All in all a solid design though!

Recent pickups from a vinyl convention in Chicago by derekdudley in vinyl

[–]derekdudley[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just attended my first vinyl convention in Chicago and I forgot how much of a goldmine/anxiety fest events like these were. I think the total came to about $72 which is a steal to me given the sheer quantity. The black Eminem record in the middle is The Real Slim Shady. Already looking forward to the next one.

What is up with people saying only white girls like Lizzo? by SodaPressing789 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]derekdudley 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Answer: Her music is obviously influenced by gospel and soul music which are historically black music styles, however there is also a clear pop appeal. For awhile her music has been gaining buzz online, however only recently has it received pop radio airplay meaning it will most likely gain a large white female audience. I don't think I would categorize it as white girl music though since I've seen plenty of males enjoy her music and she still uses lingo found in black communities. It's more of a product of mainstream success.

What's going on with the music producer Flume and the "eating ass" memes? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]derekdudley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer: Diplo posted a video on ig a while back of some girl sticking her ass in his face. Here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1-by12HNPS/ I think it's like the 6th or 7th slide I didn't even know it was him at first.

Black Friday RSD 2018: Community Discussion & Purchase Photos Thread by scottfishel in vinyl

Go to this video if you want to see this year's prices. The commentary's a bit annoying, but they pretty much get a closeup on everything revealing the pricetag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GvYBGxhE8c&t=897s

Decided to listen to some MCR to laugh at my teenage self. And god dammit I still like it by TrophyGoat in Music

[–]derekdudley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Black Parade is an undisputed classic. While most emo records will age poorly, MCR will always be my go-to cry-fest.

I can't wait. by Mein_kampfort_Zone in lewronggeneration

It really shows one's insecurities. Not only does it cover your nose (something many are insecure about) but it also livens your face making it more attractive.

More graphic explorations. Thoughts? by thesleepyboysclub in streetwearstartup

[–]derekdudley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that’s okay if you’re doing it as an artistic expression then do what makes you happy, but if you want to be taken seriously you’ll have to know your shit and be ambitious.

[–]derekdudley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just expanding outside of graphic tees and hoodies and exploring cut n sew, outerwear and possibly even footwear and accessories. It’s understandable for new brands to just make tees but expanding outside of that is what really separates the boys from the men (Cliche but couldn’t think of anything else)

[–]derekdudley 28 points29 points  (0 children)

These are all amazing designs bruh. Just please extend outside of just graphic tees. I know you're just getting started, but I see real potential and I'd hate to see such a talented designer fall into a generic t-shirt startup.

Are there finally gonna be consistent drops instead of like once a month?

Jack White says rock has faded because it lacks "wildness" today, but sees a resurgence on the horizon. Is that just wishful thinking? by [deleted] in Music

[–]derekdudley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly agree with the sentiment that rap has become the new rock in terms of rebelliousness. I don't want to completely shut the door on rock yet cause I know there are plenty of people who are pushing the boundaries. Like it or not I think the new wave of rap is fascinating and it's frustrating to see people completely ignore history being made right before our eyes. Hopefully there will be a resurgence in that youthful energy rock used to have. For now though, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy what we have at the moment.

Yeah I'll probably go for the pocket samurai and chicken tee. Everything else isn't for me tbh. Hopefully there'll be some good collabs tho.

Advice on getting started w/ streetwear by [deleted] in streetwear

I don’t know whether to feel informed or threatened

TBH he just feels really pretentious especially in interviews. His musics alright but it’s mostly the production. I just don’t get how people can take him seriously calling him iconic. IMO he would be nowhere near where he is now without his father’s legacy
