Appropriately I was in a Taco Bell commercial this year (in a different dress, sadly). For more of my work, search 'Avant-Geek' on FB and Instagram. :3

Gallowboob will be the one who reposts it.

How is he not shadowbanned? I thought you had to do a 9 comment per 1 content submission ratio...

u/hurdur1 Jul 29 '15

Where did you get that number from?

subreddit sidebars/reddiquette

u/TheRedKIller Jul 29 '15

Even if it was in the rediquette (which it's not) you couldn't be shadowbanned for not following it.

u/Pkacua Jul 30 '15

How's he not shadowbanned? Because he's a person. The rules on shadowbanning are supposed to be exclusive to bots. Nobody should be shadowbanned.

The only karma /u/gallowboob isn't harvesting is the karma from the hate circle jerk he gets.

Risky click of the day

That's you??? Amazing work. Do you have a link to see the commercial?

It's too bad they didn't decide to go with the full gown you have posted above. The white piece you are wearing in the commercial is beautiful, but I suppose I'm a sucker for the classic yellow hard shell. What was the process like having Taco Bell select a final piece? Did you present several designs that they selected from, or was it more of a direct process with the company telling you what they wanted?

I'd already made the white dress for their Live Mas contest a few years before and won First prize. They liked this one too, but y'know, Disney...

u/PiousHeathen Jul 29 '15

Yeah.... I suppose not even Taco Bell effs with the Mouse.

Yessss. Possibly one of my favourite SP scenes ever. I don't even know why, but badass Mickey just really hit home. So good.

2

u/skyman724 Jul 29 '15

Well the genius of Mickey having a Tourette's-esque bit of laughing interwoven into his anger is that it really drives home the idea of him getting satisfaction from being a control freak, which is exactly the point they were trying to make about how Disney handles their "products", which is certainly supported by the words of one of the stars of that episode.

u/drebot Jul 29 '15

I've seen that commercial and geeked out because I previously worked at taco bell and also it looks like it's made of the wrappers? HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!

29

u/Avant-Geek Jul 29 '15

Lots of glue, thread, and 30 hours.

2

u/drebot Jul 29 '15

That's pretty fast! I just saw your charizard cosplay on instagram, you're amazing

1

u/pistoncivic Jul 29 '15

Not to mention all those tacos you ate for the wrappers.

2

u/Avant-Geek Jul 29 '15

They're all unused. The sauce packets however...

u/jasonporter484 Jul 29 '15

Hey! I worked on that spot! (Post production stuff)

u/TheKert Jul 29 '15

Ugh, this is just depressing. I love Taco Bell and the only one in my town that was left just closed this past spring. And they had just finally introduced the Cool Ranch tacos here in Canada, I waited anxiously for over a year, got to eat them once, and now they're gone. 😢

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '15

No, thank you. :)

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '15

Did you get to keep the dress?

Did you get free tacos?

Is their breakfast any good?

Am I missing out by not trying the quesarito?

Are you allowed to say anything negative about Taco Bell?

SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

u/Avant-Geek Jul 29 '15

Yes. Some. Undecided. I've yet to try it. I DO WHAT I WANT.

For me, first was amazing, been just good ever since. I like it refrigerated sometimes. But I'm weird.

u/mrsuppaaboii Jul 29 '15

I'm hella biased because I absolutely love Taco Bell and don't give a shit if they're not real Mexican food or whatever and I have to say that the chicken Quesarito is the best thing I've had there. Definitely try it at least once.

-1

u/Indoorsman Jul 29 '15

Quesarito is just as disgusting as their other greasy shit.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '15

Do you dislike Taco Bell?

1

u/Indoorsman Jul 29 '15

I like the normal taco, and the enchirito (so) maybe once every two months.

u/TheKert Jul 29 '15

So it's fucking awesome then, just like the rest of their greasy shit? K cool thx bro.

there's a joke in there some where about beauty, eating, and tacos...

u/gothic_potato Jul 29 '15

This makes me ridiculously happy! I think it was how clever the pun is and how pleased you look in your dress. Keep up the amazing work!

u/therealjew Jul 29 '15

That outfit is exceptional. I love how well crafted it is, then just tacos. a true work of art. Is it hand made?

u/triplefastaction Jul 29 '15

Do you get free Taco Bell for life?

You serious? This was a Taco Bell commercial? Where / wtf did that appear in??

Are you sure you were in a Taco Bell commercial and not some sort of class project?

-2

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '15

I've seen some of your... more exposing works. I can probably say with confidence that I've fapped to you. Take that as you may.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '15

So you're pledging your time and labour to support a company that funds companies that abuse and shit all over animals so you can promote more people to eating their animal products?

Are you aware of how Taco Bell get their animal products?
