Title: This is 10 years graphic experience.
Post by: farmboygraphics on January 18, 2016, 01:50:49 PM
Slow day today. We were wandering through some local sites and facebook pages and came across this lovely piece of work. Kinda centered on a tee, asking price is $20. The whole site was loaded with gems like this. I won't post the name...not cool, but I had to put this out there. They even have actual likes on their fb page. They boast having 10 years graphic experience, but I think what they mean is an experienced 10 year old that makes graphics. I really really wanna post a link soooooo bad.

On one of their facebook pics they're weeding a graphic and they say "Here I am weaving out some vinyl".

Man, I just wonder how much further along I'd be in business if Youtube and great videos like these would have been around 25 years ago.

Ahhhhhhhh yes, to most of you that looks like garbage. But only us northern guys will notice the tremendous detail there. It is a snow covered deer during a blizzard, the likeness is actually remarkable. Dave and Jason, I want your winter cards revoked!!! ;D;D

I loved where he wanted to use a needle to open a spot in the mesh, but it was dirty with resin.

I couldn't watch the entire video bust skipped around it. Did he tape off the registration marks and then line it up? He sure went over the white alot!

I was thinking that it might be a 'safety' shirt for hunting... certainly looks SUPER bulletproof.

I'm not sure how I missed this guy's workshop at the last ISS show. Surely the video and syllabus can be ordered online. I could do a group buy or something and get a discount so let me know.

I hadn't realized that the paint was easier to see with the lights actually ON. Except the rent would be harder to pay with the lights on and all like that.

Its probably aligned somehow with the registration targets (what the heck are those for anyhow) and the extra swiping before tightening or something. Its real sick.

So.

That was the absolute worst video ever.  I couldn't finish. Lol  When I get back from long beach the first thing I'll do is by that same type of paint and some needles.

at least the guy in the video has a job and isn't some POS sitting on his ass collecting...Are his methods or products decent? no, probably not but it apparently sells. Look at Justin Beeber, complete and udder horse sh*t but people flock to it. give the guy some credit for staying positive in such a negative world.

For some reason I want to reach out to this guy and see if he's open to learning a few things.  On the same line as Homey is taking, I bet a lot of his buddies aren't doing anything productive to society.  He's got a LONG way to go but he's not lazy, and that counts for a lot in this business.

LOL.. you could probably teach him a lot, but if he would remember it or not, that's a different story....

Look how stoned he is... and all the 'DAB' wear... LOL...

From google:
        Dabs, also known as butane hash oil (BHO) — which are sometimes called "budder," "honeycomb" or "earwax" — are more potent than conventional forms of marijuana because they have much higher concentrations of the psychoactive chemical tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, than is found in regular cannabis.

It's tough to ignore the glaring (to us) issues, but let's remember that his presentation is not aimed at us. In it's own context, at his target audience, it's almost kinda' cool.
Think of it a little like some hillbilly with a new-fangled smarty pants phone with camera showin' how he makes peach wine viewed by winery snobs in Napa.

Both the scary thing and the modern miracle, is how easy it is for anyone to put themselves out there like this.

nah.. he's a tuber and it's the cool thing to be these days.. cause the really cool kids get paid buckets for a good channel. Youtube don't care what or how good the content it.. just that it's there and ppl hit your subscribe button.

Youtube has become a cesspool of instructional videos from peope  just like this guy.

For the record, it takes a BOAT load of views to make any substantial money.

I have a video with over 9,000 views... which by all means is not a "lot" at all and I'm not suggesting it is.  I just don't post much up so it's my only barometer.

Anyway, it's always been "monetized" and I've yet to see a single penny from those 9,000 views. :)

Post by: mimosatexas on January 20, 2016, 11:31:59 AM
buddy of mine has a video with 4 million views...not a cent either.  He tried for a while, but there are all kinds of things you have to do to actually get paid, and simply uploading a video that gets lots of views doesnt really matter.
Title: Re: This is 10 years graphic experience.
Post by: Gilligan on January 20, 2016, 12:19:49 PM
He should have gotten paid for that... maybe he forgot to monetize it before the views or something.

I know people and lawsuits between people over a substantial bit of money due to a few million views on videos.

Exactly... there are a few guys on youtube that do nothing but youtube (and other such things) as their job, we know a few.

You are all right on every point. I was enjoying the mockery and then immediately felt guilty.

I see soooooo many lazy bums around where I work. I'm tired of feeding them and housing them. And then having to carry concealed to protect my life and my stuff from them after dark.

At least THIS guy is motivated and produces something of value to someone. I'll bet he's teachable. It looks like he knows how to work. I hope he doesn't ALSO have his "hand in the till" like 50+ million do, but I digress...

I'll bet there's a time in most of our lives if someone confidently came up said, "I have the answer to your problems" we would have listened.

He may not be open to help, unfortunately. Once you've gone out on a limb and made a instructional video (or 20) for YouTube it might be hard to swallow your pride.

I'm not scolding anyone. I'll bet most of us would help the guy out if he asked for it. In fact, I am certain of it. (Maybe someone already has!)

<end rant>

I'm into my 8th year printing shirts full time, and I print some pretty danged awful stuff sometimes...at least compared to a whole list of people displaying their wares in the "What Have You Printed Lately" thread.

This is an informative and encouraging place to gather and sure I'm glad it exists.
