Facts, something some people use to measure the validity of an idea...
1.) My first order from Adidas was for 500 boxes with a budget of $100 per box. We made nearly $10,000 and had an order valued at over $50k. It was for the "hater boot", if you'd like a shoebox or you are slightly curious, send me your address via email and I will send you one of my shoeboxes for free - no questions asked. Monospace, what's your addy? >>>
2.) My idea is "timeless", there will always be a need for shoe packaging. As you reinforced above - it's the same old shit, time and time again - that crappy cardboard box that cost 25 cents... That is my enemy, that is what I am trying to destroy. That is where my traction grows - the old tired ideas that my work is kicking up dust.
3.) Networking - working on odd projects like handled shoeboxes has opened the door to so many new partners and clients I never considered a possibility. I worked with former NBA Jonathan Bender (Indiana Pacer/New York Knick) for 1.5 years on various logos and projects - this all came from him liking my design >>> http://chrisdarmon.com/Logos-Vol…
You'd be amazed at the number of high profile clients we have pitched too.
4.) You can post animated gifs, but at the end of the day - people willing to take risks, people that see potential will write me... Perhaps that might be you reading this now. If you want to help create something - here's your chance. :)

Do your overly elaborate and ultimately pointless shoe boxes increase the cost of the shoes by much?
- Not when luxury shoes cost $1,200+ dollars >>> my box cost a few bucks mass produced >>> https://www.ssense.c…obey_pdx
- Ah, so it's for cunts that pay $1,200 for shoes. Ok, as you were...set

It's all good... I'm only looking for 1 or 2 good designers... The image above is a perfect metaphor for what QBN is, 99% crap, 1% treasure. We are trying to create retail design packaging, and luxury packaging people will actually keep and re-use. Sadly, you don't have the vision for what we are trying to do - I understand, but appreciate the time spent on posting that lovely image.

Wohooo box-boy you just saved my shitty soul crushing friday. My job makes me feel stagnant and uninspired, and watching your work makes me feel like a fuckin' genious.

This includes monospaced... I have poured my heart and soul and life savings into this. I'm not "f'ing" around...
