Garfield Merch - Tumblr Posts
Good morning Garfnation! Now, it’s not BG3 Related however I would also like to share my Garfield Keychain design I just made!!
Garfield is my ultimate comfort character and the entire reason I learned how to draw, so this was a delight to properly draw him again, years later. 💕
I’m kinda excited to see the Garfield movie, I just hope it sucks because imma be honest I’m not pleased with crisp ratt’s casting, let’s hope he doesn’t mess it up. 💀
Anywho, I’ve sent this keychain design and the Gortash keychain off to my manufacturer so I’m hoping to work towards starting an Etsy store after my upcoming conventions!
got this really cool Half Half X Garfield shirt today that has this neat restaurant signage on the back of it!!
(that picture isn't me lol)
what i find super interesting about this shirt is that it says "est 1976" instead of 1978 like you'd probably expect it to. i believe that's a very subtle reference to Garfield's very first appearance in the 'Jon' comic strip which ran from 1976 to early 1978, and i think it's awesome that they referenced that because there's literally been no mention of this prototype comic strip at all from any official Garfield media!!
not sure if you can see it very well on the camera (i put a slight filter on there so you can see the irl difference better) but something very interesting i've noticed about the Garfield apparel tags is that that all have different colour saturations. this is a collection of tags i've accumulated over the course of several months and they all have different colours and slightly differing sizes.
the ones on the top have the least amount of saturation with a more cold toned undertone, while ones in the middle are the most saturated with darker colours with a warm undertone that pop out more, while the bottom ones are a kind of balance between the two extremes.
(apologies for the glare, i was trying to stay out of frame lol. additionally: the yellows on the tags are not that bright irl and are just a result of the photo filter and kinda cruddy lighting.)
this is the most recent tag i have that i got today, and it has a sort of inbetween of the most saturated and middle ground colours. it's also the biggest one out of all of them. very interesting.
