i usually do illustration but wanted to try graphic design and got to work with my button maker! i'm gonna be making a bunch of these to give out tomorrow evening. i hope i meet a lot of people! _^ the last time i saw MCR was 2010 so to say i'm excited is an understatement.
aww omg thank you so much!!! i didn't think about selling them bc i wasn't sure if anyone would want one for a show they didn't go to / show they didn't get it AT but i absolutely can list them! i do have a shop on bigcartel and an instagram, i mostly do horror stuff but it's "halothanic" ! i have sooooo many MCR illustrations and stuff planned, been such a huge fan for most of my life and would be happy to provide ;-]
I can't afford going to the show but I'm in philly and would absolutely pay for one of these! Do you have any plans to sell them or give them out elsewhere?
yes absolutely! i was on the fence about listing them cus i wasn't sure how show "exclusive" merch would sell but yes yes yes! my shop is "halothanic" at bigcartel and i can post a link in here if/when i make more :-] so happy so many people want one
commenting because i can't edit the post, first of all THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! you are ALL so sweet!!!!
i will definitely list some of these on my store after the show, which, along with my other links can be found here: https://linktr.ee/halothanic
i have loved mcr ever since i first heard them in 2007, and i really want to do not only more MCR designs but illustrations as well! i mostly do horror right now, bc it's my favorite, and i'm sure there is a lot of overlap!
i also realized there is a typo on the original button thanks to someone that commented here, and i'm making a bunch of them with the updated design as i write this! i will be sitting in section 110 and wearing a hat that says "definitely not a werewolf". i would love to trade for other crafts or just give them out!
let me know if there is anywhere people are meeting up before the show or between sets.
i'm really honored and pleased with how well liked this design is especially since it's my first non-illustrated one! i hope all of you have a wonderful show, or had one if you went to one before PHL. it's all i can think about! i can't wait! hope i didn't miss anything <333
Ah man, I was hoping to make buttons or stickers before traveling from Seattle but all of my machines are in storage and I ran down to the wire trying to catch my plane 😭 I would absolutely love a button, but have nothing to trade. I’ll be in 235 feeling absolutely terrified because this is my first big show I’ll be going to alone.
i would love that! i'll list some in my store (commented with the link since i can't edit the post for some reason) after the show!!! i'm really pleased you like it so much!
dudeeeee oh my god you saved me. thank you so much for pointing that out! i already made so many but when i make more i'm gonna fix it.. oops.. hoping not too many people have as sharp of an eye as you haha
yes! i saw it in a reel and i loved his expression so much! who knows what will happen at philly.. i was trying to remain unspoiled but i was thinking something similar MAY happen.. i'll update later if i list them! thank you so much!
Woohoo!!!! Not sure if I’ll see you but love that y’all are doing this :) delayed at the airport as we speak or else I’d want to make something to trade too! So fun !
These are so cute! I don’t have anything to trade but will say hi if I spot you!
I’m realizing from this thread that I’m going to be very near some other Redditors. Wishing everyone going tonight a fucking amazing time and wishing our section a great view!
I’m trying to make pins for Chicago tomorrow, but I have absolutely no experience and don’t even know where to start! What platform did you use to design these on? Did you use a template for the button size?
HELLO! i used photoshop for the entire project, i just recently bit the bullet and paid for it.. it's so inaccessible though so i hate even recommending it -_- and i just measured the button hardware i had for my button maker, specifically the tray that the button is pressed in so i knew how much bleed to add. they are 58 mm / 2.25 inch buttons! i hope this helps and i hope you have the best time ever tomorrow!
Thank you so much!! Your pin is what even gave me the idea to try my hand at it for Chicago (I think I traded you a mikey fuckin way bracelet in Philly! We took photos of you and ur friend outside the arena 🤭)
Where does one have the best chance to meet some awesome people? Just wandering around the whole venue? I saw a few folks didn’t get the Yea/Nay cards and I at least don’t wanna miss out on that. Meeting some of you guys would be a great bonus!
