💿How far we've come...💿

Hey, everyone! CEO fruitpop here, and I must say, what a wonderful first 2 months year it's been for BUNYMART! We've been online for only a little while, and we already have 6 Twitter followers, 1 non-staff Discord member, and even 1 Tumblr follower. Wow! About are progress, we managed to release a whole 13 designs on our Redbubble shop (half of which are just variants of our logo but its ok less of that this year). In this post, I just want to write a little about each of our designs, what our plans are for the coming year, and what 'buny' means to us. Also, this is the first time I've spoken through an official BUNYMART account. Hello! :) Usually it's our social media person, but if I let them write this, you'd have a headache by now.

Here's the first design we ever released. Err, first six designs we ever released. Our first six designs were just color variants of our logo, as I said before. But the colors are so pretty! I think that justifies it :) For this design, we wanted to go for a kind of supermarket logo look (duh), but we also wanted to make it uniquely buny. I'll talk more about what it means to be BUNY later, but the font we chose for the bottom is N SimSun, which is a very buny font. You also might've noticed the Wingdings on the top. Why are these here? Becuase they're extremely BUNY! And then, of course, there's the little buny in the middle, makin' a face at you. How sweet :) They look so excited!

The image I'm using here is actually the image we used for our logo sticker pack design, which we began selling a couple of weeks ago. We actually started selling these individually in May, but we BUNYMART didn't really become active until around November, which we released our second (seventh?) design.

What you are looking at now could be thought of as the herald of BUNYMART's real beginning. This design, our "Drink! 'It's good!'" sticker, was what we opened our Twitter with, and was what really kicked off BUNYMART. For this design, we wanted to make something that looked like it could be on a soda can, or on an ad for some kind of drink, or just something that said, "Relax! Have a drink! :)" The buny is also winking, because I think that makes them kind of resemble Pac-Man in some older artwork, and I like Pac-Man. Something else about this design, there was a goddamn stupid shitty stray pixel at like .0001% opacity in the bottom right corner that fucked the design up on Redbubble, but I didn't notice until it was uploaded. One thing I like about this design is that it's the first instance of the kind of digital-paint-mess pattern you can see in the background. This will return in a later design, but our next design was...

BUNY RADIO! Kind of like the last design, this one is also supposed to evoke a fun feeling. Y'know, just kinda hangin' out, havin' fun. Lots of bright/pastel colors in this one, although I guess that's been true for all of them. Something you might have noticed, although I'm sure it's very faint and subtle, is that while none of these design have strictly adhered to the aesthetic, the imagery used is somewhat reminiscent of vaporwave. Here's the thing, and again, we'll touch on this later, while 'vaporwave' and 'buny' aren't interchangeable by any means, the two terms share a lot of overlap. The logo is supposed to evoke a supermarket or mall feel, here we have a cassette radio player, etc. Something to look out for in later designs :)

We also see some Wingdings again, a staple of BUNYMART designs. While I don't have many details about it right now, I do know that Wingdings are very prevalent in BUNYLAND (the place where bunys live). Also, I'm really happy with the little music notes on the left :)

Our next set of designs were really something, and were actually part of our first sticker pack. These are the P3RS, a pretty funny play on words. It's funny because we came up with it, and we're funny :) The joke isn't entirely obvious so I'll explain: there's a pear, and a pair of cherries. Pear and pair, both pronounced the same way. And that 'air' sound is represented like this: ɛr. So, you could say that they are both pɛrs, and since ɛ kind of looks like a 3, together, they're the P3R duo!

I was VERY happy with these designs and all of their elements. The little labels/paint strokes, the shine of the leaves, the coordination of the colors, all of it. Very good design :) I actually have the cherries on my Nintendo Switch, the pear on my 3DS, the cherries again on my journal, and one of the labels somewhere else.

This is Big Head. Not much to say about them, they're just a little silly. Big olllll' thinker. Funny enough, this design was actually the first to not feature text of any kind. This is also the second design to feature a regular buny, rather than an object with a buny face.

This was actually our last design of the year. Now, you might be thinking, "What the goddamn shit? You said 13, bumble fuck!" That's right, I did say 13, and I meant it too. As I said earlier, half of our designs this year were just the individual logo color variants, and the P3RS actually served as three separate designs on the Redbubble (pear, cherry, and P3R pack). If you count them all up, there ARE 13 designs here. Take THAT.

What else happened this year?

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, we opened a Discord, a Twitter, and a Tumblr (obviously). The Discord came first, and we called it THE BUNY ZONE :) Besides our staff, there's only one person in there right now, but it would be really cool if you joined too :) I'll come back to it later, but one thing that this whole BUNYMART thing is about is building a community. After the Discord came the Twitter, where our social media person spits out a bunch of random bullshit about once a day. About a third of it is nonsense and a mess of symbols and fonts, but what's legible is pretty fun to read :) Here's a recent quote from our Twitter:

"alright……. WHOS THE 𝙁𝙐 ͶͶ¥ 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝕎ℍ𝕆 𝙀𝙓𝙋𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 ϻY 𝙇𝙀𝙁 𝙏𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙎？？！!!?!!?？!?？¡！?！¡!？！？？!？¿?！!!?？？?¿!？!?！？!?!?¿¿?!？！？？!!??(｀皿´＃)(｀皿´＃)(｀皿´＃)(｀皿´＃)"

Cool, right? I think so. And about 5 other people think so too. If you want more of that, see our about page here on Tumblr. You can find all of our links there (Twitter, Discord, etc.)

After Twitter, we opened this Tumblr account, which mainly just reblogs pictures that we find particularly buny. It's still pretty new, so there isn't much to say about it at the moment.

But that isn't all we've done this year, nonono! We also released BUNYJAMS (volume 1), our buny-themed Spotify playlist!

I'll keep this brief, since our social media person posted an announcement about this, but as a Christmas gift to you all, we released a playlist of very buny songs, which sits at roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes. That might not be very long for a Spotify playlist, but hey, we only started building it in November. A new BUNYJAMS playlist will be released every Christmas (hopefully) in the coming years, so just think about how long volume 2 will be! Here's a hint, it's already longer than volume 1!

Also, we wanted to release the cover art you see as a design before 2023, but that didn't happen. Whoops.

Now, I want to talk about the meaning of 'buny'.

What is buny?

To me, it's a little hard to describe, but I'll try my best. First, I'll talk about it strictly as an aesthetic.

As I said, buny has a lot of overlap with vaporwave, but more specifically, it shares a lot of aspects with Frutiger Aero, y2kcore (kinda), and whatever you'd call what the Wii and DS had going on (wiicore?). Even more specifically, the last one. When I think about BUNYMART, I feel like I'm clicking through Wii channels, or messing with the settings on my 3DS. It's a very specific feel that's very specific to older (but not too old) Nintendo things. It also shares some aspects with an webcore, and also dreamcore to an extent. Hopefully it will be less fuzzy as BUNYMART evolves, but for a better understanding, look at our reblogs and listen to BUNYJAMS.

Even though I've described it as an aesthetic, I like to think 'buny' can be described in a broader sense, almost just like a feeling that's evoked by specific things. One thing that comes to mind specifically for me for some reason is watering a little houseplant. Just caring for this little wonder of nature to watch it grow feels very buny to me. However, in a general sense, buny is (in a very specific way) fun, safety, and niceness.

I mentioned earlier that one of my goals with BUNYMART is to create a community. There's a reason for this. Although BUNYMART is this fun and silly thing, I'm well aware of the atrocities of life. Every day, there are things that we have to hide from, things that we have to bear, things that we have to protect ourselves from, and so on. There are these bad things, and there are bad people. Often, the 'things' that we're dealing with are people. Maybe one 'thing' today was being harassed for some reason or another. Maybe another 'thing' yesterday was something an ill-equipped parent did or said. Maybe another 'thing' was just observing people talk about so many horrible things as if they were perfectly normal and okay, when they are anything but that. I want BUNYMART to be a kind of haven to come to to be away from all of that. I want to make a safe space for people to come to and know that everyone in that space is good. To come to and know that they are safe with any person they meet. That's the kind of community I want to cultivate with BUNYMART. That's what buny is to me, and that's what I want to give to the people who happen across our little project.

So, what's next?

Well, our plans are very fluid as of right now. Obviously, a new BUNYJAMS is coming next Christmas, but at some point in the not-distant future, we want to open the BUNYMART Instagram and YouTube. We just... kinda have to come up with unique content for those platforms and ways to post consistently. We already have an idea of what we want to happen, but making it happen is pretty difficult with all of our other business things that we have to take care of. They are coming, though, don't worry.

Another thing we want to do starting this spring is release seasonal season-themed design collections. I won't give too much away right now, but for each of the four seasons, we want to do a bunch of themed works and have them as a collection. We want to try to do this for every year from now on, but we'll probably skip like a year every 2 years. Oh well.

I guess the only other thing that comes to mind is more community things once there actually is a community. I don't know what those things will be like, but I know that they will be fun :) Maybe we'll have parties? Sure.

I think that's everything I wanted to say. If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading :) I spent probably two hours on this, so I hope it was worth your time. If you want to get in touch with me, you'll probably want to message the BUNYMART account and ask for fruitpop, or check out the Discord and contact me there. I'm not logged into my own account on any of my devices, so if you message my Tumblr, I likely won't see it for a while. Sorry :( All I have left to say is thanks for reading, thanks for checking out BUNYMART, and let's all look forward to a fanTASTIC 2023 :))

Thank you.

Colombia’s World Maritime Day Parallel Event Promotes Gender Equality In The Maritime Community

“Shipping must draw talent from every corner of the globe and every sector of the population to ensure its own sustainability.”

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim opened the 2019 IMO World Maritime Day Parallel Event (15-18 September), held in Cartagena, Colombia.

“Improving the participation of women in society leads to better social and economic outcomes. This is also true in the maritime community. So, it is critical that women are provided with equal access to opportunities at all levels and within all sectors of the maritime industry. Experience shows that, when they are given those opportunities, women are strong and successful – continually challenging old-fashioned and outdated perceptions and proving that, today, the maritime industries are for everyone. It’s not about your gender, it’s about what you can do,” Mr. Lim said.

The World Maritime theme for 2019, “Empowering women in the maritime community” was a prominent theme throughout the high-level event. Speakers and panellists also emphasised the relevance of the United Nations agenda for sustainable development, with its associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Mr. Lim highlighted the challenges ahead – including the needs for action to combat climate change as presented in IMO’s initial GHG strategy – as well as the opportunities for a sector which drives global trade and development.

“The global shipping sector is essential for a sustainable future. But maritime activities themselves need to be sustainable – and an important part of IMO’s role is to ensure that shipping continues to make its contribution to global trade and development in a sustainable way,” Mr. Lim said.

The international audience heard from Marta Lucía Ramírez, Vice-President of the Republic of Colombia, who welcomed participants to the event on behalf of the President of Colombia. She reiterated the relevance of the theme of the event, empowering women, and emphasised Colombia’s commitment to the sustainable development goals. She highlighted the importance of the oceans and the maritime sector to national and global development.

Following the opening session, a panel session, moderated by Lena Gothberg, producer of the Shipping Podcast, focused on the real impact of the role of women in all areas of the maritime sector, as well as the efforts already made in different fields (industry, government, international organizations and academia). It highlighted the leadership role of women in the maritime community, which contributes to the strengthening of the maritime sector and the boost of countries’ sustainable economies.

Also on day one, Maja Markovčić Kostelac, Executive Director of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), shared her views on how women and technology contribute to the sustainability of the maritime sector; on the untapped potential and on the main challenges that lie ahead. Her keynote speech was based on her own personal experiences as well as on the knowledge and expertise of EMSA in the field.

At a side event, a panel discussed the SDGS in relation to the governance of the oceans from the maritime perspective. The Panel highlighted the need for awareness and commitment of all those involved in the maritime industry to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and made a transversal analysis between the elements of Maritime Governance and the fulfilment of the SDGs.

IMO’s Juvenal Shiundu highlighted the successes to date of IMO’s Women in Maritime Programme, a highly successful campaign to promote women in the maritime community for more than 30 years.

With IMO’s help, seven regional Women in Maritime Associations have been established, covering more than 150 countries and dependent territories. IMO provides gender-specific fellowships and scholarships, both at our own maritime education establishments – the International Maritime Law Institute and the World Maritime University – and at others, too.

WISTA International – the Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association – was awarded consultative status with IMO in 2018.

Ministerial round table

Transport and maritime Ministers and senior officials from 11 countries took part in a roundtable discussion with IMO Secretary‑General Lim. Discussions focused on two main themes; strategies to promote global partnerships in order to ensure the long-term, sustainable delivery of the IMO’s Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP); and exploring ways to strengthen regional cooperation on maritime issues, including empowerment of women. Ministers and senior officials from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ghana, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jamaica, Panama, Peru, Singapore, South Africa and The United Arab Emirates shared ideas and strategies in a very fruitful discussion

Education and training

On day two, Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry, President, World Maritime University (WMU), spoke on the theme, “Empowering Women in Maritime Ocean Affairs: The UN Decade for Ocean Science”. Her presentation highlighted the need to remove existing barriers to women’s participation and empowerment, calling for innovative approaches from everyone involved in the maritime sector to help resolve these issues.

Xiaojie Zhang, chair of the IMO Council, provided information on IMO’s background, as well as on its latest progress, achievements and challenges. He highlighted the importance of developing partnerships with other UN bodies, stakeholders and the private sector to share information and build consensus to achieve together the 2030 Agenda.

Another panel discussed the revolution of the maritime industry in the era of new technology.

Finally, five women with illustrious careers in the maritime field shared their stories of how they achieved success in a deeply moving and personal exchange of experiences. They were: Katy Ware, Director of Maritime Safety and Standards, United Kingdom Maritime and Coastguard Agency; Despina Panayiotou, President, WISTA International; Liliana Monsalve, Head of Claims, IOPC Funds; Angela Pinilla, Manager, ECOPETROL; and Helen Buni, focal point for the IMO Women in Maritime programme.

All paid homage to the key mentors and sponsors who helped shape their careers and encouraged the audience to seek out or serve as a mentor for young women entering the maritime endeavour.

Closing ceremony – South Africa takes the flag for 2019

During the closing ceremony, IMO Secretary‑General Lim presented a commemorative plaque was presented to Marta Lucía Ramírez, Vice-President of the Republic of Colombia. She then handed over the World Maritime Day Parallel Event flag to H.E. Mr. Fikile Mbalula, Minister of Transport, South Africa. South Africa will host the 2020 Parallel Event.

The event in Colombia was attended by representatives from the maritime community in Poland and other countries, including government representatives and representatives from the maritime industry, non-governmental organizations and academia.

Featured artist: DREVO - INSIDE THE MIND OF DREVOLUTION

Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist DREVO.

How did you decide to become an artist?

DREVO: Music has always been a big part of my life, i can remember my first rap record i loved was Kool Mo Dee's "Wild Wild West." then as i got older i learned that i could also hold a tune so i became a huge R&B fan untill i was 14, then i started learning about 2Pac, OutKast, Goodie Mob, etc.

The best advice given to me as a Artist is to stay true to who i am. I am born n Raised in Atlanta and when i was coming up it wasn't alot of rappers in Atlanta, now and days everybody and their mama raps but the question is can u be a ARTIST? its not too many artist coming out of atlanta today and thats why people always tell me stay true to who i am.

- DREVO

What about concerts? Do you play live?

well i wouldn't be a Artist if I didn't play to live or do concerts.

Best punchline you ever wrote?

you tryina keep her Glen Close while she be Robin Given, it up to all of the homies regardless of position…

- DREVO

What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?

I am currently working on 2 Mixtapes coming October 27th, GRUSOME and My Life As a Scorpio. My Life as a Scorpio is more of my R&B side of life and GRUSOME is more of my Rap side of life and it all comes together on my LP that will be released at a later date.

Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

The only way i would sign a record deal if i am granted creative control over all my music as well as royalties and merch. if I can't get that then i will remain independent.
