Kudos :-D I love “increased softness,... and durability.” To DROP (staff, moderators, ‘collectives on this product’) Suggestion: I Offer, free, unique piece of art “Per Piece” for sleeves (to identify Drops’ mission). {could be a radio button at checkout, no cost} Of course unique piece of art, larger,.. for having review samples, Drop product reviews to ‘pass on’ to other Drop forums goers’ (if acceptable to Drop conditions: as could be seen as ‘offering on’ to profit), ‘Channel Support’ (including direct line of contact to Drop teams as necessary etc), and whatever helps facilitate delivering a high number of unique pieces of art from an ‘up and coming artist’. Whilst it wouldn’t matter to me which artist you use to keep this Drop’ uniquity of a small ‘logo’esqe badge: it is that the concept aligns with with the magic of individual output that Loopwheeler creates. The only reason I offer this ‘free art to get you started’, is the entrepreneurial eye that recognises leverage- in this instance the littlest effort to obtain the greatest change. As a person who has started many businesses’ and offered a level of excellence beyond (with internationally received awards acknowledging such); knowing Gold when I see it- probably my (along with most survivors) life d’etre ’rasion: I live for wealth, and see an “excellence opportunity” coming along’. Just being a little poetic in my way of speaking as ‘nothing less’ would be fit to announce any aspect of this prodigys’ talents. So I qualify, a -=’wittle passionately=- with only ‘one or two’ paragraphs as to what their unique ‘brand’ might be. Artist has just started branching from Human subjects. If new transition is anything like phases of ‘Homo Erectus’ ‘Anime/Comic’ style development seen in initial part of last FOUR YEAR PROCESS (generally four hours a day —always towards mastery), then this new stage should be the best time to grab ‘rare and unique’ pieces. The first quarter of time it took until ‘satisfaction’ with present designs, was spent trying many styles, a few mediums, and much re’specc’ing. The hundreds of pens used is probably my only grievance of missed ‘promotional’ propaganda potential’ -a photo of a bin filled with one specific pen type could be here instead....

YEs; This bloody pen! ++Heck, Happy to give a sticker (see below) for Pens’; (not sure if this constitutes “begging for charity”/ or has to be a joke to maintain postability., mods I can remove, or else we can take this as opportunity to report I needto/want to work for you!!) Continuing on,.. I will include a couple of pictures at the bottom of post; if I can see any from last two nights sketching efforts. (Proof I don’t proofread/edit, and constant reminder to my readers Be Warned “could rant at any moment”/<giggles>) (If I was a professional, ie getting paid for this- this paragraph would have been edited away. Employ me please!?) I would like to offer 100 ‘stickies’ of art to include in say, ‘100 random Drop boxes’, (maybe from runs including Output from Loopwheeler, these small stickers could be a limited edition run which will contain Suggestions for sleeve art, perhaps?). I would certainly take pride in being a part in any aspect of Loopwheeler, an example: I would love to forge ahead with any output that could be printed on, and build a Channel of unique designs to support <u>me</u> being able to give 100% of my time to Drop each week... I have a webpage I could turn to a retail portal for selling Louises(Loopwheeler)’ (I’d name her) Threads with Comic overtones. This post in Public Dropspace to show Drops’ willing and geared for production nature, and how ‘easy’ it can be to collaborate on Projects on these pages and to keep people who enjoy reading about entreprenuer’ship oporations (the creative collective this section is all about). I am an Aussie. Thankyou for enjoying out upfronted’ness and honesty. Its how we do things to save time ;-) Good day to y’all. (We steal things)

livingspeedbumpLSB; nice, a respectfully chosen animated GIF that walks the line between ‘what the hell’ and ‘c’mon, I bait you for more’. We had a politician whose catchphrase was “please explain”. (I have a CD with a song ‘that was pulled from airwaves’ that jives whole verses of lyrics from cleverly assembled samples of their speech, one of which is “liking to dance in San Francisco”). My words might be minced in my post; it was my first day on four cups of coffee, AND the first day of ‘manflu’ (I am even whinging about my armpit hairs hurting when they move). At the time of writing it was the start of a spiral that had me in bed and firmly tucked up/away by the afternoon. I went to follow on with Drop, sent an email, and butchered a bad cut n paste that had a whole documents worth of developing thoughts get accidently sent, I then went to send another email to fix the first, but just gave up half way through. Like LSB, I have been (attempting to) creating a series of guides for Drop.. also as a technology/infrastructure test. Presently I am using an iPad running iOS 12, but had planned to make the second guide using iOS13 which claims to give a ‘desktop class’ webbrowser. It has been reasonably challenging ‘being professional’ via an iPads limited webbrowser. On a desktop PC I would of course write an article, edit the article, and THEN post the article, via ‘cut and paste’ into the web-browser. On a tablet, due to some ‘glitchy’ forums I have experienced in the past (I have been using mobile phones to get on the internet since the mid-to late-nineties) I have gotten in the habit of ‘post’ and then edit. If the post only needs a few edits I leave it, so as not to have others wonder if I’ve changed the post dramatically. Yes, this may not be to everyones’ liking, but those who come to know me realise that I write much the way a conversation happens, once said ‘its out there’.(there are no edits).. this builds trust, and my opinion is valued across a few fields the internet over, for decades now... That being said; the reason I wrote to Drop in this thread, is my background... possibly even ‘my star sign’ (Aquarian/(fire) Dragon). I have a quick mind when it comes to ideas and business. I usually have three ideas a day that would make a ‘lot of money’. Its just what I do, and generally ‘have been doing’ since fourteen years of age. (When I put an ad in a newspaper, ‘The Australian’, to rent out my video games library, being before video stores offered this service; I had clients hundreds of kilometres away I would post game cartridges ‘to/from’ fortnightly)(I also walked my neighbourhood washing cars etc..) I am community focused and never aim to profit, just to raise the quality of life for all. So I find with Drop an easy marriage. Drops community support/goals align with what I can do, and do anyway. My hobby presently is supporting Drop pundits. Having backgrounds in all sorts of counselling and psychology units, and decades of sales, and having been a consumer myself for decades- there is a lot of reassurance and advice I find joy in sharing. So I flip across these pages regularly. Like many, I have been doing this ‘more frequently’, presently, as I have a Drop parcel due to land... (missed delivery yesterday). Whilst I was scouring Drops pages, mostly review threads, I looked around the community pages... and found the Loopwheeler article. I love anything built to last. I love quality. Loopwheeler just excited me as to Drops’ possible goals. When I read the thread indicating Loopwheelers’ output I just had a brainstorm, and the ideas associated were ‘good enough’ they were necessary to share. Four coffees’ probably had something to do with that. So instead of writing via Drops suggestion pages, I placed the idea in public space. In part to generate interest from other pundits to also share their opinion(s). The least I hope my post would achieve would be some form of active discussion around Loopwheeler.. (and increased recognition and interest for Loo’s output) My initial post was simply to say ‘good on you/well done’, but then I figured that Loopwheeler would be the perfect item for Drop to double down on and create Brand recognition. It is rare, high quality, and selected due to benefits that retail is often taking away from us. Drop isn’t ‘massmarket’. Drop being recognisable in public would allow ‘knowing glances’. Drop branding possibly needs to ‘be a thing’. So my suggestions were towards ‘gain traction/generate momentum’ on Loopwheelers’ branding process. Knowing that a ‘small logo’ or ‘cute critter’ on clothes has been going on for aeons’ as a way to recognise ‘we belong to a club’ etc, it made sense to take community submissions, and ‘have a vote’ towards choosing an effective logo. “Mascot/‘a logo’ that we wish to associate with Drop..” would make for a great poll. I then realised that the resident artist, a person whose high school art teacher had ‘been onto me for years’ to encourage to support an art future (and is why I have relocated 150kms closer to the present ‘College of the Arts’ they presently attend), has just started making output that would be fitting to Drops present need for branding. This artist has spent many years working towards a single goal of being a cutting edge/leading animator and still frame artist. Moving to San Francisco is on the cards to make a future happen, open doorways for them, and so I had been looking at Drops’ careers pages. When I wrote the above post, I had been contemplating for a week (or more) the notion of applying for work with the Drop team. They presently have a couple of positions open, I would be confident to handle/provide a suitable ‘short list’ candidate for. Of course moving half way across the globe to simply apply for a job is a big gamble. Sending 100 ‘free’ pieces of art, towards building a relationship with Drop, not so much.! The cost of printing 100 unique pieces of art, being the artists time (given freely), and my enthusiasm (given freely) simply becomes one of postage and ‘the stickers’. (pretty affordable vs a plane ticket and rental agreement etc) Anyhow I hope that explains a little about what was being postulated in my initial post. Having since spoken to the artist; their enthusiasm was so ‘on board’ that we should probably make some ‘branded’ clothes for selling, something we do ourselves anyway.. Of course the animated *.gif comment could be simply based on my last line of text -= “good day to y’all” (we steal things)=- which is simply: in my head -“ y’all “ is a lift from the beverly hillbillies (y’all come back now, ye hear),.. and I felt like the word ‘“y’all” was not entirely my own. Feel like I stole it. (Good) Coffee reasoned the statement would work ;-) for the record I am back to two cups a day, at least until I beat the flu :-)

WhitedragemIma be real with you, I only parsed about half of this, but I'm glad you're invested in the platform and willing to spend the time to write this much.

WillI think he has a point, despite his odd way of writing, and you could at least look into the art of the artist he's referring to. Expanding reach of the Drop brand, by embroiding a good designed new/adapted logo on high quality, Drop made, clothing like pieces made from loop wheeled cotton fabric, is something to look into. When not done already.
