this is pretty great. I don't find many of these type of t's out there in the wild.

I found this disappointing. I put a high priority on impact in art. Something downright threatening intrigues me. This, however, seems like a commercial for the millennial version of the CCS catalog, Pac-Sun, insert similar reference here. I bothered to click through the site and I didn't find anything interesting or redeeming. I don't think he would really stab anyone. And, that, is disappointing.

  > I don't think he would really stab anyone. And, that, is disappointing. I thought the janky spelling would give away that it's going to be humorous. It's a fantasy about being badass and threatening. Sorry for misleading you. I changed the title and replaced the word "Art" with "Design". Maybe this one will be more up your alley: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAx3ZRWvFj1/?taken-by=horriblenoise https://www.instagram.com/p/BAx3ZRWvFj1/?taken-by=horribleno...

    That sounds right to me. I really wanted to avoid a definition of art debate. My original post is subjective, but honest. In case you're interested this is where I was coming from: http://artnews.org/artist.php?i=613 http://artnews.org/artist.php?i=613 The site works, I didn't see any issues, and I think it does a good job staying out of the way of the product.

what do an online shop and technology have in common? ps: rhetorical question
shadeau 10y ago
I worked for an ecommerce company that ran an internal competition that encouraged employees to run and create their own online stores using the platform. I decided to go against the grain a little by pairing up with a close friend of mine who makes lowbrow art and uses social media whoring as his medium of choice. I always found his stuff to be refreshing because of how dystopian it is, and how much it contrasted the optimistic, utopian sentiment of most technology companies. @horriblenoise's Instagram was basically the polar opposite of my company's own Instagram account. See https://www.instagram.com/horriblenoise https://www.instagram.com/horriblenoise if that sounds exciting. I was looking for new things to wear, so we decided to make clothes that celebrate, and make fun of, the feelings of alienation, anxiety, and sexual frustration anyone familiar with the programmer midnight garbage ordering dominoes at midnight lifestyle should know. This one is my personal favourite: https://horriblenoise.ca/collections/merch/products/oh-fuck-tee?utm_campaign=hnc https://horriblenoise.ca/collections/merch/products/oh-fuck-... tl;dr - sick tshirts with really funny product descriptions Any feedback on the site, or tips on how to sell physical things to a niche audience would be much appreciated.
