I wasn’t aware of quite how much there was to do.

 

Luckily I have had help from my friends at Munter Westerman. They have been very helpful in flagging all the things I hadn’t thought of.

 

Slowly but surely things are coming together.  Hopefully I can move on from website building and get back to t-shirt printing.

Schlock Film, Roger Corman, Garage Band Expoitation Soundtrack Album.

But how’s the music? The title track (one of two that is not an instrumental) has a distinctly Franki Valli vibe, but the rest is the kind of greasy guitar garage band music that really scratches the itch in those hard to reach places.

The title track is by Jerry & The Portraits who were probably assembled solely for this picture. Everything else is by ‘The Arrows’ who apparently have been recording in one form or another since 1965. An incarnation of the band released a CD in 2018.

Absolute gold.

I wonder what the Hell’s Angels thought about it?

]]> Go West My Witches https://slightlygrim.com/go-west-my-witches/ Mon, 25 May 2026 15:09:43 +0000 https://slightlygrim.com/?p=4739 Wether or I am a witch or not, I wallow in wyrd as is my wont.

I am comfortable with the contradiction between what I believe to be real and what I want to be true.

The universe is a big place and there is plenty of room for the unexplained. I don’t get paid to define the borders of the universe.

Basically I own a cellphone, but I still like spooky stuff.

Some of the next shirts to be added to the store will be witchy jokes and folklore themed.

We all think our phones are listening. We  suddenly see ads for things ‘we were just talking about the other day’.

How do you explain when that happens in real life?

The board game ‘Bonkers’ came up in conversation recently, I had never heard of it before. My friends and I were playing a new game called ‘Monster Athletes’, which reminded one friend of this game from their childhood.

All of a sudden it shows up in a random thrift store. Is the universe listing in on my conversations? What is it trying to sell me?

Or am I just Bonkers?

I have been making and selling shirts on Et$y since 2019.

That platform has been in decline for a while, but once I stopped shipping to the states, it no longer had much to offer.

I miss my US customers, but the tariffs are such a moving target that I can’t imagine building a business around them.

When in doubt – REBRAND!

I am taking this opportunity to refocus my business on the kind of work I want to be doing.

Fingers crossed.
