I've been releasing more and more prints on the Breen webshop so visitors can actually buy them. On the to do list is Bitcoin payments, hopefully this year.

Added some stars to the Star Wars poster. Creates depth and it's fitting.

Working on the World Cup poster with FIFA songs in the background. I made a grid of 211 circles so i can fit each national team in there. Now I have to arrange them on tone of color.

I have a lot of respect for people who went to prison. It’s life experience. Not a lot of people can say that.

Working on a Seinfeld print today. Nine seasons, eight logos. Not too big, thick cardboard will look nice.

Reading The Grip of Death by Michael Rowbotham is blowing my mind 🤯 Very similar thesis to @Jeff Booth while written in 1998. An excerpt: "The final ingredient in forced economic growth is wage dependence. Again, the debt-based financial system is entirely responsible for causing mayhem and misery. The general reliance on work to provide incomes presents the economy with a problem and a paradox; and these have become increasingly apparent during this century. The problem is unemployment; and the paradox is that unemployment is not, or rather should not be, a problem at all. In the modern world, technological progress constantly creates unemployment. People are forever losing their jobs and suffering a catastrophic loss of personal income simply because the modern world has developed such astonishing and increasingly productive capability. In this sense, unemployment is simply leisure that has been concentrated and imposed on individuals; leisure that has been inequitably distributed; a sign of economic advance that has manifested itself as a social disease."

Opus 4.7 is good when coding. Terrible when used as a sparring partner: elaborate answers, too moralistic and drawing conclusions too fast.

Incredible to think how normalized it is to put yourself into debt. Even encouraged by your parents buying a house.

Last week I emailed 33 blogs and news outlets about my Batman poster. Results: 1 reply 2 features (The Awesomer + Brand New by UnderConsideration) 392 visitors 10 email captures 10-15 clicked pre-order but didn't complete The poster tracks 96 bat-symbols Batman actually wore from 1939–2025. No marketing logos, no cover art. My approach: I found a competitor's backlinks in Ahrefs, discovered their Batman poster was discontinued, and emailed every site that linked to it offering mine as an updated replacement. First email sent April 3. Featured on The Awesomer by April 6.

Completely missed the Batman poster featured on Under Consideration's Brand New section until I checked my traffic stats just now.

Reaching out to blogs for the batman poster, Claude told me to skip Vice because "The new Vice is doing stories about Ukrainian goth teens and secret Bolivian cocaine bars" 😂

A new world has opened up for me: competitor research revealing blog outreach globally. Let's try that!

Been reaching out to blogs featuring a Batman logo evolution poster from 2012 that is no longer available and asking them to replace their broken links with my poster. Let's see if this tactic is worth it.

I’ve launched the Batman logos poster on Reddit and it’s interesting to see the difference between subreddits: /batman: 11k views with 30 upvotes and a couple of comments. /coolguides: 100k views with 300 upvotes and dozens of comments after a couple of hours. Never would have expected that.

Got the Ditto preview logo in the Chrome webstore! Not sure why. Maybe because it has a checkmark now too.

Creating images for Pinterest to gain more traffic. I have no idea what will work so we're just testing things out.

Added more reviews to breen.studio in the style of senja.io. Learned from Jorn van Dijk (founder of Framer) to reduce the speed of the loop and make the testimonial clickable.

Direction matters more than current position.
