The State of This Page
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has enjoyed and used my designs. I am going to continue to post them here when I feel a strike of inspiration. However, for some time I’ve found the bounds of this blog restrictive. I have primarily used my twitter account to focus on personal content outside designs, but I wanted to share on tumblr too. So, from now on this blog will be used exclusively for my custom designs, and my new blog ACNHPelegosto. Older post which do not feature my custom designs will be transferred to the new blog, and then deleted so it’s easier to find just my designs on this page.
I hope many of you will follow me to my new blog and enjoy my other ACNH content!

ASD Pride Symbol
I won’t be uploading this design to my MA, but I’m still happy to share with everyone. I made it on a day that was emotionally rough for me, so I don’t want to be reminded of it whenever I see my posted designs. Figuring out how to make the infinity symbol was tough. I tried doing the rainbow gradient but I couldn’t ever find a way to make it look non-segmented. The font was lifted from this guide by u/Li5y on Reddit.

Orange Bird Tee
TIL of the adorable “Hello Sunshine” collection for the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, so I made a shirt inspired by the collection. You can learn more about the history of this tangy bird here!

Behind the Design: Best Buddies by Keith Haring & ‘78 SF Pride 💟’s
Original post here
History
Keith Haring was an openly gay pop-art/grafitti artist who lived 1958-1990. His work tends to feature minimalist outlines of people and animals in bright colors. Haring passed at the age of 31, but passed leaving a distinct — and queer — mark on the art world. Haring first painted this piece in 1987, but did not finish the entire print series until 10 days before his death. In 1989, Haring gave his blessing for the organization Best Buddies to use his art as thier logo. Best Buddies, the organization, is a community outreach program which helps provide social support for people with intellectual disabilities.
The ‘78 San Francisco Pride Flag was made by Gilbert Baker for use in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day parade. Each of the colors in the flag has a separate meaning: sexuality, life, healing, sunlight, nature, magic/art, harmony, and spirit. Bakers flag served as the progenitor to the modern pride flag. The colors pink and turquoise were removed, as the dyes for these fabrics were more expensive than the standard rainbow colors.
The Design
I first learned about Haring when Funko made him a pop figure for New York Comic Con in 2019. I’ve been in love with his artwork since. Best Buddies sticks out to me as it is a perfect intersection of my identity: being gay and disabled. I am bisexual and autistic, so it’s rare to find anything that addresses both of these. Part of the beauty of Haring’s work is how simple it is. I always struggled with metaphorical meanings, but Haring’s works are succinct in interpretation. Best Buddies is about unity and friendship among people. It serves as a perfect logo for Best Buddies the organization, as even those with minimal language comprehension can grasp it’s meaning. My university even has a local chapter of Best Buddies for non-degree seeking students! I tried to keep the artwork as identical as possible. I hope to make another design based of Haring’s work soon.
The ‘78 pride flag is my personal favorite pride flag. It’s soft pink is one of my favorite colors. If you notice in the hearts there’s two rows of pink compared to every other colors single row, I did this because I love the color so much! Additionally, combining Haring and Baker’s work helps show across America the in the 1980’s, queer artist made massive contributions in their respective fields and to the acceptance of the LGBT+ .

Behind the Design: The Travolta Dress
Original post here
I originally made a version of this dress when I was 13, in ACNL. I ported that version in ACNH, as shown in the first photo, but wasn’t totally satisfied. So I remade it, as seen the second photo! Lady Diana, and this dress in particular, mean an awful lot to me. I think it’s the most beautiful dress ever made, period. If I had ever went to prom, I would have wanted my dress to look like hers. Unfortunately the real one is in a private collection, and I could never be able to touch it since I’m highly sensitive to velvet. Oh well, at least I can wear it in Animal Crossing and my dreams.

Behind the Design: Gaurd and Prisoner from the Stanford Prison Experiment
Original post here
It was unclear if the request was for the prisoner or gaurd uniforms. I made the prisoners tunics, but I assembled the gaurd uniform. The gaurd uniform I made consist of the beige open-collar shirt, beige cargo pants, brown pilot shades, and beige slip-on loafers. Really, anything beige plus the glasses and you have the outfit done. I’d definitely adjust some parts of it, but I did what I had with my current Able Sisters’ selection.
The prisoners uniforms were a bit different. I wanted them to look wrinkly and cheap, so I added additional off-white lines to achieve this effect. Originally hats were just random stocking caps, so I used the more uniform ones from the 2015 movie to make them more distinct. The paper bag hat would have been more authentic, but alas I had seen it in my or any of my friends Able Sisters’. The number tags for prisoners are visible on both the left breast and mid-back as they were in real life. Overall both were fairly simple designs, but the devil was in the details.
