Greetings from the Syd, witch you were here! 🧹

Mischief was brewing last night as the Black Mass Movie Cult coven gathered to witness the witchcraft of Jade Habron and a performance by Dee Dee Monic that held the audience spellbound before a sacred screening of HÄXAN. ✨

When I posted this I didn't even realize the serendipitous juxtaposition of Ayes C.U. and Superman both doing the power pose!
Things got a bit animated last night at Flixx. 👻

The Black Mass Movie Cult congregation was drawn to the amusing antics of Jade Habron and alluring act of Ayes C.U. before a communal screening of CARTOON CRAZINESS, featuring the likes of Betty Boop, Superman, and some whacky, well-meaning ants. ✨

Your government doesn't want you to be safe, healthy, educated, or even happy. Those things jeopardize someone's ability to profit off of you.

BONUS: I've always adored the vintage Clarendon numeral font UCLA has used in the past. This concept brings that back and attempts to standardize the various shades of yellow and gold the Bruins use.

Posting a new uniform concept for every Husker win. 🏈

7: Scarlet & Cream

This concept evokes the aesthetic of vintage football while utilizing the classic scarlet and cream color scheme and the throwback numerals that pay homage to the typography found around Memorial Stadium.
