Now you've got me curious. Should I dig those up? If I ever do I'll keep this in mind. We all have rough patches. I recall one with Wizz I regret. I may have deserved some venting at. Thanks for the apology but it's not necessary. I'm trying to do things but I don't know if I have "much going on" yet.

What is "rn"? Yes, that it came from my Dad's clinic's motto might mean more if I actually cared for him more. I also look at it that he said one thing and I contradict him - but not all the way to saying "life is a bitch". Neither optimist nor pessimist.

I had some "fashions" in stores - I discovered someone stole one of my designs and made Halloween pot-holders, oven mits, etc. with it. Great job, but I got no money, credit, or even awareness, much less a thank you.

Brooklyn is serious. I first lived in Greenpoint the summer of 96 before I moved to the City. I did several animated promos for Teletoon, the Canadian version of Cartoon Network.

Some of my ideas are for interactive animation and other video projects on SaidIt. Despite being distant, I believe I have some interesting ideas that can help distribute the load, foster community, interest, and different abilities into some creative productions. Perhaps some may even support us and/or value/buy original animation frames as works as collectable if not beautiful works of art. On some of them I'm not aiming to be retro or vintage, but I am aiming to be "radical" like classic MTV and Monty Python animation - rapid, edgy, and loose (despite my usual efforts to be tight and clean). All of this will be part of my /s/LeverMind Variety Show project pitch.

Critically important, IMO, yet much less fun, I'd like to previs my ideas for a next-gen forum, MetaVotes™, and other concepts. With not just images, but glossy animations that showcase the dream features I hope to inspire others to create. 2D must be easier to finesse than the backend code architecture.

I did some toy concepts in 2005 and used puppets in 2007 and wouldn't be against using them again, depending. Small sets are easier to make than big ones. I'd also like to make characters to 3D print for sale and support. And stickers, patches, gear, etc. I have too many ideas and need to narrow them down. Soon.

I'm very keen to see your sites. Over a decade ago I made many too, though now I'd use a template. I'd like to get my GlossedAndProfound.com (online production management cooperative), BittersweetSeeds.com, Trutherism101.com, and on May 1st I'll get 2 more, one mentioned above, and one for a PeerTube instance - and perhaps a 3rd for a webstore if I can draft up my pitch for SaidIt and find a catchy name by then. (I have to budget.) I'd like them all tied together (and perhaps with SaidIt and/or WikiSpooks) but the tube and store may have to be separate, while the others I think should be in a mediawiki as they are for production development and IMO that seems the best way. All open and transparent under a G&P wiki, and eventually the other 3 can have their own tubes after there's actually content to share.

I'm trying to do things but I don't know if I have "much going on" yet.

Seems like you have a lot of interesting ideas - don’t be afraid to outsource to fiver, I have before and I’ve been happy with the results each time. It was much harder when I started the fashion line to find and build connections for specific things I couldn’t do or grasp, fiver makes establishing relationships and outsourcing quality ideas for a quality return easy and cheap. That MTV-vibe idea sounds cool.

if I actually cared for him more.

I read your initial post. The way you described your father and your relationship, reminds me a lot of the one I have between my father and I. But he’s still my father - and like you said, you feel you picked up some positive “ways of being” because of him either because of his “good or bad”, I feel I did too. I’ve learned lessons, and my father taught me to have a code and morals - it sounded like your father did the same for you. I remember as a kid saying I was never going to be like my dad when I got older, but I turns out he never actually shared himself with me so I never really knew him like that, and I did end up thinking very similar to him - minus the coldness and judging-mentality. That’s why I think it’s a good idea, the name, the connection, there’s a story behind it and emotion (as well as more, I’m sure) there.

Brooklyn is serious.

Ehh maybe it used to be back then. It depends literally on the store/front and current trends since everything became so hipstery.

What is "rn"?

“Right now”

I had some "fashions" in stores - I discovered someone stole one of my designs and made Halloween pot-holders, oven mits, etc. with it. Great job, but I got no money, credit, or even awareness, much less a thank you.

That’s bullshit!! Did you have some kind of date related proof like maybe a picture uploaded online that proved you created it? That’s a trademark right there for that design. Things don’t have to be officially registered for proof of ownership and for you to win a lawsuit (although it helps, and I did have two, one for the brand name and one for the logo design/character. I believe I still own them tbh).

now you have me interested

If you ever need help, don’t be afraid to shoot me a PM. I have good sources on clothing (including cut and sew and embroidery) and promotional material (like die cut keychain packs, stickers, phone cases, home decor, etc). I’ll show you what I’ve done and if I can, share with you what you’re looking for. I gave m7 the same offer, he saw some of my stuff (I was even interviewed by complex magazine, but I gotta dox myself to show you haha), if/when SaidIt starts merchandising he said he was interested in the possibility of working together on something.

I wish you good luck on all your future and current projects and endeavors, a lot of them do honestly and genuinely sound interesting - something I’d like to see in existence.
