The  thread !!
🧵
⬇️

Every once in a while I like to create my own intervened landscapes, so I take some stuff out to a lake and create a scene.

For "summer is coming"  Meme card, I thought it would be cool to recreate a classic 1800's portrait in a funny way.

Why a thing from 1800? Because they were so amazing and… they were also long exposure photographs.

So my initial idea was: "An human size gentleman teddy bear celebrating GM."

I found a generic bear costume  and customized it, I also found an old chair and a beautiful little column, and built the rest of the items myself.

Some details:

A CC0 in a CC0:

I customized a bottle of champagne to create the first IRL derivative of the Summer.jpg bottle. And I opened  it the day of drop!!

A Meme in a Meme:

I also added a Summer glasses, as you can used them for digital things...but you also can download  print and use them IRL!

The GM banner is a DIY thing decorated with colorful led light .

I found a  day with good weather conditions, but it wasn´t easy at all, The sky was totally covered by clouds and there was some wind. that was good to get a smooth effect on water but hard to get all the scene "static" it was also raining with a lot of spray on the filter

For the tittle I had some doubts and ask help to 
6529er
, he proposed some cool ideas and we choose "Summer is coming", that is really a brilliant tittle IMO:
⬇️

It´s optimistic
Refers to Crypto winter - The scene
The Bear, is, well the crypto bear market, and summer is represented by Summer Glasses and summer´s Champagne
and of course, the ever - optimistic GM
And finally, the Game of Thrones reference

Thanks so much a to my wife Estrella, she is the bear!! and my friend 
@jhsbdn

And yes, you can do this thing all in PS or even with AI, but the experience of creating by yourself is always priceless......
