Taken from a Channel 4 commercial break on Sept 2nd, 2001; it captures that strange sense of post-millennium calm & vague end-of-history futurism that I remember from Jan. 2000 to the first half of 2001. I was 11, so my perspective is a bit more naïve, but I remember this feeling of there being an expectation, built-up throughout the 1990s, of this ‘inevitable eco-cyber utopia’ that we would all just cruise through in perpetuity. 

My fascination with Y2K aesthetic partially stems from how even simple pieces of consumer media, like this example, seem to visually express this zeitgeist very well. - Evan

Care package courtesy of @camdentownbrewery ! Much needed after back-to-back meetings in the office today. I would’ve snapped a pic of the box they came in but the rain decided to leave a melted puddle of cardboard by my front door! Ah well! • Big shoutout to @camdentownbrewery for looking after us all 👌🏻 • #camdentownbrewery #camdentown #camden #hellslager #hells #lager #gameofthrones #housestark #nedstark #lagersofinstagram #carepackage https://www.instagram.com/p/CEo8GEuHRI_/?igshid=15rx2xr7vfri7

It’s been a while, but the tools are back out 🖌 • Not much to show tonight. But the second leg of the custom denim jeans has had a few base coats down (a 1:1 mix of standard white acrylic paint and fabric medium). Not bad for an hour’s work. • Second picture is my plan for the second leg, although the Red Ranger MAY be replaced with another character yet. 🤔 • #swatkats #swatkatstheradicalsquadron #saturdaymorning #saturdaymorningcartoons #90scartoons #customdenim #denimjeans #posca #poscaart #poscapen #unipin #mummiesalive #jakal #bikermicefrommars #throttle #streetsharks #gargoyles #gargoylesdisney #powerrangers #powerranger #redranger https://www.instagram.com/p/CDexizKnEiu/?igshid=1bykahda8bguj

Still crazy grateful that people are buying the StayBrill Legacy designs from yesteryear over on my Spreadshirt page! • Recently the designs got duplicated and whacked onto every possible bit of merch - which made the page look fugly AF... • Good news is that it’s all cleared up now, so the page should be easier to navigate and find the best products 👌🏻 • Link in my bio innit. • #brill #staybrill #spreadshirt #brilllegacy #legacy #brillskey #whiskey #beard #hipster #hipsterstyle #hipsterbeard https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_ieYxHZdO/?igshid=6j9ipepmdgsp

Two posts tonight! And what’s more is that this is my 500th post to the Insta 👌🏻 • Part 4 of the Disney x Street fighter (Mickey x Evil Ryu) is done.

There’ll be a better quality photo out there at some point 👌🏻 • Touchfive markers and unipin fineliners on marker paper. • #brill #staybrill #disney #streetfighterv #streetfighter #crossover #touchfive #touchfivemarker #touchfivemarkers #marker #evilryu #streetfighter3 #streetfighteralpha #markers #markerart #copic #multiliner #copicmultiliner #lineart #inkpen #unipin #unipinfineline #mickeymouse #runawaybrain #akuma #gouki #evo https://www.instagram.com/p/CBl4UsBHH5Z/?igshid=7gueug0oyh3d
