I took this pic because that Danger shirt is one that I made, ie I looked into a random train and I saw that a guy was wearing a shirt he bought from my shop. I’ve encountered my shirts in the wild about a dozen times and it’s always a huge rush for me https://t.co/EBvSOnPVbB
it’s one of those things that reminds me that the world is right here. you can make something up and have it become the world’s. there’s tremendous possibility in that (and also responsibility) https://t.co/XOfy8likM3
People tend to assume that this Steve Jobs quote is about making products. He does say "everything around you that you call life" – it applies equally to ideas, perceptions, ways of seeing, ways of being. And so it is with time – we can reimagine our relationship with it https://t.co/K91gMKGE8r
I used to walk past this for years as a kid – ages 10 to 20 maybe – and every single time I would think to myself, damn I really want that on a t-shirt. And eventually I started a t-shirt business and it turns out that hundreds of other people thought it was a great idea too https://t.co/W4KvrXpDD7
Hayley Williams similarly used to joke that she dyed her hair so much that she ought to start her own hair dye business, and she actually did and afaict it’s doing really well pay attention to what you joke about what lingers in your mind for years it might be valuable stuff
ideas don’t actually need to be extremely original in order to be valuable you just need to like them enough to really put your heart into it and that’s the part where lots of people falter, because they don’t know their own heart
and you need to solve for distribution https://t.co/S7bigTZpGP
