After wanting to do it for so long, I’m finally opening some beginner portfolio-building faceup slots! Because I’m new and cautious, I’d like to only take one or two comms for now.
Please DM me for any questions at all, I’m more than happy to talk out face-up ideas and provide rough mock-ups before any commitments are made! Clean mock-ups are included in the commission prices.
Shipping is from the US, and is not included in prices. I am happy to purchase blank DD heads from Volks to repaint, but otherwise you will be responsible for shipping the head to me, and I will reuse the box sent for its return.
FLASH SALE! Summer is ending, and cozy season is just around the corner! 🍂 Use code 'BYEBYESUMMER' for 10% off everything in the shop until Sept 5, midnight EST ~
New stickers are live in my Ko-Fi shop and it’s New Years Bear season which means I have a discount code for everything except commission!
New Years Bear is a tradition in my family where if you didn’t get something you really wanted for Christmas the New Years Bear will bring it to you! Use code NYB23 in my Ko-fi shop to get 10% off until January 7th!
Normally I prefer posting my own find, but these twin gifts I received are simply too special for me not to show off!
Both of these bands have proven to be pretty damn hard to come by at any of the record stores and conventions I go to. H To He Who Am The Only One is probably my 2nd favorite Van Der Graaf Generator album behind Godbluff, and I'm glad I can finally listen to "House With No Door" and "Pioneers Over C" on something with much richer sound quality than my dinky laptop speakers
Gentlemen Take Polaroids by Japan... Great record. One of my all-time favs. But why the FUCK was it SO HARD TO FIND ANYWHERE????
I'm not just talking about searching for it at my local bumfuck joints, by now I've been to several of the most well-known record stores in every major American city I visited. For seven years now I've started asking the same question: "Do you have any albums by the band 'Japan?' They were a new wave group from the late 70's/early 80's." And the owners have ALWAYS never heard of them and ALWAYS don't have them (one exception being this weird compilation album of theirs I found in DC whom the owner also didn't know much about). My mother even had trouble ordering this one online. She told me she was only able to find a copy for sale in Hungary!
So my message to any Americans who see this is thus: Do ANY of you listen to or at least have heard of the band Japan? Are they honestly so obscure that only vinyl freaks like me have noticed their absence here? I need some closure on this T_T
