90s Emo Mugs
Description: 'Sometimes if you stand further away from something, it does not seem as big. Sometimes you can stand so close to something you can not tell what you are looking at' is a 7” released by Cap'n Jazz in 1993. The Chicago emo band formed in 1989, and after a number of name changes, the band built up a solid cult following throughout Chicago and the Midwest. With one studio album, two singles, a bunch of complication appearances, and a posthumous anthology after the band's 1995 breakup, Cap'n Jazz was relatively short-lived, but made a huge impact on the emo genre.
Description: A lost moment from 1996, caught somewhere between the camera flash and the shadows. Take The Picture Now combines late-90s emo melancholy with analog photography, grainy contact sheets, handwritten notes, midnight streets, and the quiet feeling of being young and completely overwhelmed. Built with a distressed vintage-zine aesthetic and clean illustrated details, this design is made for fans of 90s alternative culture, emo nostalgia, film photography, and that unmistakable feeling of looking back at a photograph and remembering everything it never captured.
