I was wondering where everybody was getting all these Binge caps all, didn't know there were secret sales going on. I guess what you don't know won't hurt you.
Weeks ago mang. Weeks ago.
Without further ado. I am happy to say that I am relieved to have finished 2015 on such a positive note.
Bingcap, starting in September, set out to create a sale which was inspired by the colorway for Hyperfuse. Not only did we manage to make 100 keys for this sale, but we also were keen to sell it in a format which involved a little luck. We called it the 'Sticket Raffle'.
People had the opportunity to pay what they wanted for a shot at up to two Bingecaps, and for their payments they received vinyl decals with art designed specifically for the Sticket Raffle. At the end I got a bit excited and designed something to do on holographic vinyl. While I wish this could have included all of the colors of the original design... 2Legit was still pretty cool.
We ordered over 4000 stickets, but a miscalc meant that in the end we were just over 5000 stickets to complete the event. Interestingly enough we had just over 230 entrants. This meant that the average sticket purchase was about $25 (not including shipping for those folks who ordered internationally).
Right now due to the miscalc we are sitting on a bunch of extra stickets in a few designs. My wife is designing a package art print, and we are keen to release the option for people to buy the stickets in order to assist us get things moving with our new website
http://hungerwork.studioGoing there you'll see our promise to fill the site with something more substantial as well as our logo. The decision to switch gears started to creep up in discussion at the end of October, and we committed to discussing it around the time Bingecap decided to work with Massdrop in mid-November. Adding yet another thing to complete before the end of the new year and with shipping delays encountered with Hyperfuse-- we were at our wit's end.
I want to conclude with a big HURRAH! We did it all! Hyperfuse, Sticket Raffle, Massdrop DWI Jack, and switching over to HWS.
There is definitely more to come with the beginning of the year. Keep tuned, discuss, and by all means remember that we aren't changing all that much. This rebrand is a refinement of what's been happening and our promise to learn from experience and give you all the best possible artwork and original creations moving forward.
I could not have done it without the original contributors named in my OP to this thread, and to the rest of you who have joined me since 2013 in turning a curiosity into passion we are so happy to share our hunger, our work, and our studio with you.
