In Love with 80s Memphis Style

I've created an 80s Memphis Style collection on my BillingtonPix Society6 store.

What is Memphis Style?

80s Postmodern abstract shapes and flat colors juxtaposed together. Most people either love or hate it. The designs of the 1980s weren't particularly suited to work very well together, tended to clash and were quite hard to integrate with existing furniture. More recent designs tend to have a more toned down look, but not always.

My Print on Demand Story

-

A bit of background about me and some detail on how I have tried to build up my print on demand enterprise in the last 12 months. I've listed out a few general starter tips that might help someone to succeed at selling their digital artwork, although I am by no means an expert at this! Covid changed everything Until last year I worked in IT. I've done so since 1998. In April 2020 that all changed when Covid hit and I had to choose between a reduced salary or a redundancy. I chose the latter. For a while I haven't been enjoying my IT career. I was a solution architect but had not progressed for a while and was feeling rather disillusioned. So I left my job. For the next month I binge-watched Netflix, applying for new IT jobs and getting lots of rejections. The economy was hitting a buffer as companies froze their IT recruitment and I found myself just wasting my time preparing for interviews that never progressed. At that time I thought about selling my photography. I though...

Another day another idea

 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...

A Celebration of Nostalgia with Vaporwave and 80s Memphis

-

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...
