Did the Achewood Store close?

I wanted to buy a t-shirt and couldn't find the link.

onstard would rather beg for money than provide entertainment or merchandise.

I'm starting to be torn between the impotent rage and frustration I've been feeling and a growing concern for Onstad's well-being.

[Asherdan]

I hear you, Auggie. Dude worked long and meticulously (thought sometimes that wasn't all that apparent) to get this engine running and know it's in neutral, no man at the controls.

I mean, I hope the movie went into production and his hours are going there...but I don't think this one has such as a blue-sky such as that, y'know.

Only a crazy person or rotten incidence sends a man into scuttling his livelihood, and we know the Big 'Stad gots half that equation in his pocket aforehand.

[AugustWest]

Yeah, it's a fine line between artistic temperment and emotional pathology. 

[littlefallsmets]

One might argue that the artistic temperment IS a sort of emotional pathology.

I would, for example.

I would argue that. haha.

If there were a movie we would have heard about it.

[Asherdan]

I know man, that was just some serious blue sky on my part.

More likely is this is a "not with a bang but with a whimper" situation.

The store vanished without mention a few months back. Other than that we don't know more than you do, really.

[Asherdan]

For all we know the 'Stad just said fuckit and went and got some weird ass job.

I like to imagine him doing funky ass vector-aping tattoos. I think hurting the customer directly would appeal to him.

[littlefallsmets]

If it was that the guy got a normal-folk job or had some big film or television option brewing...

Would he still be rifling through his notebooks for random sketches to keep the donations and scamscription site parts going?

I suppose it is possible but it doesn't seem to parse out logically.

If those were the case, I have to think he'd just flat-out announce an end or announce a sabbatical or something.

[Asherdan]

Hey man, crazy people do and say goofy shit. Look at you.

Actually, I think when I went from the personification of evil to hey-he's-entertaining guy over at the assybar it pushed him over the edge.

What you're seeing is Liz trying to keep some form of income rolling in until dude manages to chew through the leather straps and escapes.

I love the logical extension of what Ash is laying out.

"What are you doing working in an office, Chris? Quit fuck*ng around and talking about your DREAMS of WORKING IN AN OFFICE! I don't care about your DREAMS, the children are STARVING, Chris! Get back to your REAL JOB where you draw teddy bears getting stoned with housecats! Mother warned me, you know, Mother warned me not to marry a dreamer like you. I told her... I told her all that talk about accounting and coding, those were just old childish fantasies... I told her you had a steady job now, using a Mac to draw gay *****s for the internet. I TOLD HER YOU CHANGED, CHRIS, YOU MADE ME LIE TO MY MOTHER! Get BACK in this house and DRAW AN OTTER WHO THINKS HE MARRIED A FLOWER while drunk and in your underwear like a MAN! Like a GROWN UP MAN! PROVIDE for your fuck*ng children, Chris!"

Like an inside-out DEATH OF A SALESMAN and shit.

[wombat]

I'd give that ten thousand cans, but I don't want to upset Ash with all the changes going on in his life and all. Instead let's say you're forgiven ten thousand excess ellipses.
