Is that Amazing Fantasy wall hanging wood? A store nearby carries a big selection of those and I've been tempted more than once to pick up a couple.

It's canvas stretched on a wooden frame. I do have a Paul Pope one screen printed directly on wood (it's of a poster for Yojimbo). You should definitely pick some up if it would match your decor! Any Jack Kirby ones in that shop?

They are cotton, but I really love the details. I got a compliment on them at work :)

A lot of comic book discussion happens in the spiderman/avengers/batman movie threads.

thanks!

Are these the same jeans?

Cause if so... damn—those faded a lot.


yep same jeans... plus about 2 liters of bleach.

i asked synthese how much bleach he used on his but he was no use at all (jk, thanks for the inspiration), so i started out with a little bit at a time, but after about 5 washes i got frustrated and dumped it all in.

I asked Synthese how he bleached his old APC's, and he said he didn't use much when he bleached his (though he couldn't remember how much because it was like 2 years ago), but he had a toploader where I was stuck using a frontloading machine so I couldn't let them soak. I washed maybe 5 times with a cup of tescos brand 'thick bleach' each time, but they didn't lighten up much, so I bought some 'thin bleach,' dumped 1.5 liters into the machine when it was filling with water, and they came out like this. All I can really say is add a bit incrementally, you can always bleach them more later, but you can't take it back.

I always thought bleach was alot stronger, and just a little bit would fade the **** out of clothes. Maybe they only sell ***** ass bleach in the UK.

"On the Contrary"
if I put up a fit, and—
there are dozens—of people—watching the thread
atm,
and what happens is:
Nothing—
(no thumbs,
no reponse,
no critique,
—nothing)
what—am I—to make of it?

Does this work? How to work out my traps?? FFS




Need a real light jacket preferably linen (Shah help?) I might just pickup a linen cardigan from Uniqlo if not or their premium linen shirts and wear over unbuttoned with tanks. Sleeves cuffed one.

FYI the pants have yet to be altered yet
