Shop History

This is the History of MakeTheBrainHappy's Shop. This story may interest some


I founded this shop on Feb. 22, 2015 with the intention of having a small one-man shop for art. It was like any other except that I had a gallery. I wasn't going for anything big or unusual. I was thinking it would probebly die out like some of the other ideas I had. I had thought of an idea shop. I didn't know about ErnieParke's idea shop. Nothing ever really happened so I closed the thread. I tried an attempt at a collaboration which noone joined. My Post was the first and the last. I'm not sure if I've closed that. So I guess I thought It would go down the drain. But I had been joining many other shops, such as Melodia. I applied to ErnieParke's idea shop and help there, but I'm not really sure I was ever accepted. What happened to these huge shops is a story for another time. I had also been joining many collaborations. I started becoming active in the community. I learned what a “bump” was. This was a key that kept this shop afloat. The majority of the first 6 pages is bumps. Now you also see departments but those used to be bumps. My first orders were from eat-sleep-softball. After attempting them all I got logo and some nice gifs which I later used on my test account (@trimakethebrainhappy) as a siggy. In my pretty new shop I had a gallery where I put logos and sights. I also liked making other pieces but I never had a chance to share them. These pieces were later put into “Brains Art Gallery” a very small exhibit of line art which I had worked on. Things continued and I did a couple orders here and there whenever they came in. But then one event changed the future of this shop forever. Melodies, the then largest shop, collapsed after a rough month in April. Many new shops were born out of this, such as Tropical Waves and Flux. They set themselves both up as the primary successors to Melodia. I saw this as an opportunity. The next largest shop is still in business and to this day I still work there, but usually there's only activity 4/7 days and they can be anything happening, someone ordering, some asking to join, or @thehockeyist replying to this membership request by asking them to make ideas based on two completely random words. Shops were being opened and some others that were larger saw an increase in orders. I knew that I could never make this shop any bigger myself so I decided to allow people to join the shop. I invited my friend @CrazyGoldFish3 to help me.

The Perfect Pane ~ A short story
By S. C. Random

It happened on a film set. I was eleven at the time. My teacher was the director of the film and he invited the whole filmmaking class to come and watch him shoot it. A real film. He said we could be in it too, just as extras. Of course I accepted. Who wouldn't? Most of the class came. They seemed to be interested during the first two days, but after that they went and played Minecraft most of the time in the Production Room, which was basically the break room for us students and the lunch room for the crew and actors. I preferred to stay on set though. And so I did, helping the script supervisor. I really enjoyed the time I spent there.
_____
The week sped by. On the last day, I was a bit bored. having finished the book I brought for breaks and nothing was being shot on set. I went to the Production Room and took out an index card from my bag. Within a couple of minutes, I had fashioned myself a paper plane, simple and not very good. One of the crew members that was in the room at the time stepped towards me. “Here,” he said. “Try to make a V-shape. It flies smoother that way.” He demonstrated it as he spoke and handed it back. He then left the room. I tested the plane out. Perfect. I went and threw it around for a bit, each time receiving perfect results. I left the room and was heading back to the set when I passed a staircase. Another boy, Lucas, was there with me. I leaned over the third-story staircase railing and threw the plane. It glided down smoothly, curved and disappeared from our sight, going down to the second floor. I went down to retrieve it, Lucas behind me. We didn't find it, even after five minutes of searching. There was no sign that the plane had ever existed. I got another index card and tried to replicate the perfect plane. I couldn't get close to how good that one was. I asked the other crew members if they were the one that had helped me with the plane, since I had forgotten. None of them had. I went on looking, but all traces of the plane and my helper were gone.
_____
Even now, thirty years later, I still have no idea where the plane and my helper disappeared to. Perhaps he simply left, taking the plane with him. Or it's still in that building where I originally lost it, sitting hidden from our sight. But I do have a clue. Sixteen years ago I went to the park and I saw a boy, playing with an index-card plane. The plane had perfect precision and it was shaped like a V. About five minutes later, I looked back at the boy. He was looking around the entire park, his eyes swollen and red. And his plane was gone. I believe that he never found it again, but it may have been a coincidence. But there is one thing I know for sure. I will never forget the perfect index-card plane.


Nature ~ A short poem

The wind blows
A tree sways
A robin sings
Throughout his days

A tulip blooms
The green grass grows
Bees buzz
The river flows

Nature reigns
Throughout the land
Everything is colorful
Nothing is bland

Evening ~ A short poem

Evening.
The time of day when the blanket of silence falls onto
the world.
When the sun sets into a sea of orange, yellow, pink and
purple.
The time when the sky darkens, from light blue slowly to
dark blue and then to black.
Black with the bright moon and the shining stars.

Evening.
The time of day when people realise that the day has
come to an end, the time to surrender to sleep, waiting for
a new day to come.
When the world of darkness comes to life, when dreams
come alive.
The beginning of nighttime.
The beginning of a new world.

Falling Asleep ~ A short poem

Lying down, you look up,
At the ceiling.
Your eyes, growing weaker.
Your eyelids, falling.
Your body, planting itself
Into the darkness of night.
Feeling peaceful.
Your whole body,
Falling asleep.

All by S.C. Random
