BillingtonPix - vintage style retro designs

Thinking about Halloween outfits in summer might seem too early to some. For the seasoned cosplayer, however, summer is never too early to start considering what to wear for the event of the year. The best wrestling costumes are rarely assembled from one plastic packet on October 30. They are built around a character, a color story and, ideally, an entrance that makes at least one person turn around. Over the last year I have been loading up BillingtonPix with more wrestling cosplay designs for adults, teens and kids. The range now stretches from ceremonial military heroes and masked luchadores to gothic villains and full-volume 1980s showmen. Some people want a recognizable tribute to a favorite wrestler. Others would rather invent a character of their own. Both routes work, but the strongest outfits understand the same thing: wrestling style is not simply clothing. It is character made visible. If you have read my earlier post about pro-wrestling style tights for men , you will k...

What better than the drama of a retro 80s style pro wrestling match! The showmanship, the performance, the banter! Now we are pleased to announce a fantastic collection of pro-wrestling gear for men in the shape of colorful and kitsch meggings. Grab yourself a look and then head over to  https://billingtonpix.com/collections/mens-pro-wrestling-tights for more!

 I've been playing around with colour again, specifically geometric rainbow patterns in a retro 80s style. Take a look at these leggings and Hawaiian shirts in black and white. There is something rather goth about the rainbowcore against the black background. I love the drama and contrast going on here!

 I'm so excited to be able to share some news about my Etsy store! I've now opened another store on Etsy that will allow me to sell fabric panels in the same retro and Harajuku designs as the athleisure I have been selling on BillingtonPix.Etsy.com . My new Etsy store is called Pancake Patterns and can be found at PancakePatterns.Etsy.com Not only that, but I have collated a number of designs together on my Etsy shop to be able to make more sense of each collection. Here are some of the groupings I have made. Vaporwave Mandala The fabric for this graphic can be found on my Pancake Patterns Etsy store, but you can also find some of the athleisure products themselves on my BillingtonPix Etsy store. Take a look at these wonderful athleisure products which I have grouped together here : Vaporwave Mandala Underboob Crop Top This underboob crop top is one of my newest products altogether. There are only a few of these athleisure pieces on my Etsy store, but they are fast becoming on...

Welcome to my world of the Vaporwave illusion  I wanted to let you all know that there is a ton of really cool Vaporwave and Yami Kawaii clothing on my Etsy store: BillingtonPix.Etsy.com . But also I want to make sure that I explain at least in a few words what is Vaporwave and how it has helped me to build out my design aesthetic. I've always been the one who refuses to follow the trend. Whenever there is a new bestseller on the Amazon book list I will remain sceptical that is perhaps just because of good marketing. I actually prefer the classics when it comes to literature, which have been filtered out over time. When it comes to contemporary design, however, I am a little more adventurous. There will always be the design classics, such as Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, Impressionism or Arts & Crafts. I've spent a lot of time immersing myself into MCM. For all the right reasons, I feel secure in its formulaic constraints. On my BillingtonPix.com website I have written qui...

 I always try to achieve at least one thing in the day. However small. However defeated I might be from previous days experiences in promoting my website. All I can do is progress. That might be writing a blog, it might be creating some BillingtonPix vintage style designs , it might be posting to BillingtonPix RedBubble designs and patterns . Whatever it is the only way to progress is to progress. One step at a time.  Break down the huge milestones into smaller achievable chunks. For example I am currently pushing out all my BillingtonPix London vintage style t-shirts to Ebay. I spent the past week adding them to my website, then building a landing page to promote them. Now I am trying to get them to Ebay where they will enjoy the most traffic. But that is so much hard work in terms of categorisation and waiting for the pages to update. It just takes forever. I also have a background task to ensure that they are all indexed on Google and that all my SEO strategies are working...
