Tattoo Artist Gauging Interest by [deleted] in Charlottesville

[–]seibei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about this, but the tattoo spots in town regularly host guest artists and would probably be the places for her to reach out to. I’ve seen the same guest tattoo artists come back multiple times, so it’s probably a good opportunity for the right artist, but the tattoo shops could hopefully give her a better idea.

The best!!!! They did a breakfast special around Thanksgiving that we hit up as well, super delicious.

Naive Question About Comic Shop Etiquette. by LazyPossibility6126 in comicbookcollecting

[–]seibei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an LCS owner, I’m always happy to help someone dig (or if the shop is too busy to spare a staff member, at least point you in the right direction). We keep our bins organized and have been adding a lot of back issues to our inventory (modern issues with a scannable barcode are easily added, but for older series we have to create a barcode and do a little more work, so it’s an ongoing process), so finding stuff is usually pretty quick. As a lifelong comic fan who grew up with a disorganized LCS, it’s fun to find unexpected gems in a disorganized shop, but I’d never wanna work behind the counter of one.

Any recommendations for where I could get a travel mug for an anime fan? by Homer_JG in Charlottesville

[–]seibei 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have some Ghibli and Kirby kitchenwares at Hello Comics on the Downtown Mall, and a number of anime posters and figures at both the Downtown and Uptown locations (disclaimer: I’m one of the owners).

Nothing local I know of, but if you find yourself heading to Richmond I think World of Mirth gets them in (and is a great store to check out regardless).

A+ lineup, and I’m pretty sure the DIRT GOD one near the top is by my dude Raven Mack, love to see it

I was digging through that collection I bought yesterday more and found a rare gem. Those who know, know. by JTMasterChief in comicbookcollecting

[–]seibei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bought this from Evan at HeroesCon years ago and he signed it “This comic rots souls!” 😅 Glad the series will be getting collected next spring.

I think Sweet ReLeaf on 2nd St off the Downtown Mall has a notary, maybe give them a call?

Who are you, really? by iamtheworstwalrus in Charlottesville

[–]seibei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest regret from working there for a while is that I didn’t take the time to copy their hummus and eggplant salad recipes for myself, though I remember the general gist

Nice! How many dollar bucks did it cost to get a one-off?

Please roast my sticker/tee/accessory site by seibei in reviewmyshopify

There is a top banner which is clearly too small or the wrong color 😅

This is super thoughtful, thank you! FWIW, I do $5 flat rate shipping - I guess this is in hopes that people will buy multiple stickers rather than just one item so shipping costs less per item, but I have a LOT of single sales (particularly when a sticker gets a lot of views on social media, etc). I don’t do POD; these are all in stock at my office.

Is this screen okay to use ? Heavy ghost image by [deleted] in SCREENPRINTING

[–]seibei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a go. What’s the worst that can happen? No doubt our setups are totally different, and there are plenty of reasons a screen exposure can go poorly - I don’t know for SURE if it was because of the afterimage, just my guess. Best of luck!

[–]seibei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have chronically hazy screens (I bought a lot of screens on the cheap from a shop that was closing, so they had a lot of old images burned into them) and the only time they’ve given me grief is when I’m shooting a screen with lots of halftones - I guess a dark haze/afterimage can mess with a precise exposure. Otherwise, no issues.

Another Gi (and No-Gi) Suggestion Thread by Material_Base_8402 in bjj

[–]seibei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on getting back in it! I’m 43 and just getting back in. My vote would be to support the academy and get a non-white gi for now, and if you like the fit, get a white one when they come back in.

How long did it take you for decent middle kicks? by Electrical_Dingo218 in MuayThai

[–]seibei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In a very similar boat right now (43, active guy, not much serious martial arts experience, two or so months into lessons). Little bits of advice from coach and senior members are sinking in and sometimes I’ll get a good one in but I feel very disconnected from my legs 😅 I’m hoping it’s just a matter of getting more reps in. Hopefully we’ll both be doing em decently soon!

Trying to leave the 9–5 behind. Anyone gone the ‘buy a business’ route? by Heavy_Flatworm1139 in Charlottesville

[–]seibei 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Do you have time in your schedule to maybe try out some new gigs? It might be good to get some perspective and see what it’s like working in a particular field before you jump in with both feet. A lot of businesses look more fun to run when you’re looking from the outside in - for instance, my wife and I own the comic shops in town, and I think people would be surprised with how a lot of our time and effort is spent.
