New Layout

Back with a new layout – this one I think I will stick with for awhile. (nb4 I design something else in like a week…)

I’ve been working on a few other things for the site – EDF Photo is getting a revamp as well. (Plus some more additions!) There’s a couple of other things in the pipeline too, so stay tuned.

Rise of the Machine Tour – GET YOU SOME MERCH!

Looking for merch from the wildly successful Rise of the Machine 2023 North American tour? Of course you are. Head on over to Dope’s official site to shop merch from this incredible tour! I gotta say, there’s some freaking cool merch on offer. Here’s my faves out of the bunch, but honestly I love all of it. If you see something you want, hurry and get it before it’s gone!

Gallery Update: Dope – “Everything Sucks”

VIEW SCREENCAPSVIEW VIDEO

47 screencaps have been added for Dope’s “Everything Sucks”, a song that is still intensely relevant even now. Head over to EDF Photo to view the screencaps. If you have not yet seen this video I’m … frankly a bit shocked, but let’s remedy that. Click the link above to check it out on Dope’s official Youtube channel.

If you’ve not already subscribed to Dope’s Youtube channel, you know what you must do. 113K subs is pretty good, but we can show them more love than that, right? Right. Make sure you also click the notification bell when you subscribe so you never miss the latest from the band.

Site Update: “For You” section opens!

Hey hey! I’ve been a bit quiet but worry not – I’ve steadily been working on the site. As the title says, I’ve opened up the For You section. What’s that, you ask? The For You section has an assortment of Edsel Dope themed goodness for you. (Hence the uh… catchy title.)

From wallpaper to GIFs to Discord icons, there’s a lot of ways to show your support for Edsel. If you’re here, I presume you’re a fan and want to support him. Now you can in style! Here’s just a couple of samples.

As always with my graphics – credit/a link back is appreciated but not necessary. Just don’t redistribute claiming that you made them.

I’ve also been adding more pics and screencaps to EDF Photo, but that will a separate update. Till then.

Rise of the Machine Tour Recap

Over on Static-X’s official YouTube channel, the band released a Rise of the Machine North American Tour 2023 recap. This is definitely a must watch – this tour looked incredible. As of this posting, Dope has not released a similar video (if they intend to at all), but I will keep my eye out.

Want this and more Static-X content? Why not check out their Youtube channel?

New Look

We got a new look at EDF.org! We liking it? I wanted to make something a bit closer to my actual graphical style, which has resulted in a layout I like much better. I know it’s not really Dope’s aesthetic, but as I always say, “dress for yourself, not to please others”. Plus I think Edsel transcends aesthetics.

I’ve been busy with making a new section to the site, along with loading up EDF Photo. The updates for those are coming soon [tm].

Screencaps from Dope’s “Sing” have been added to EDF Photo. All screencaps were done by me – credit is nice but not necessary. If you’ve never seen this video, check out the link above from Youtube!

EDF.org – Now Open

When better to open a site dedicated to an icon than on an iconic day? May the 4th be with us, and edseldopefan.org is officially open! With so few spaces on the net truly dedicated to promoting Edsel Dope, we want to be a complete resource for fans. In that regard, I will always be working to make this site better and better. In the coming days, I will be opening more sections of the site, so stay tuned!

With the opening of EDF.org, EDF Photo is also now open! As any fan of Edsel knows, it’s a bitch trying to find sites that have everything relating to him all under one roof – photos very much included. We’re starting off strong with 93 photos in the gallery, including screencaps of videos from Dope and other Edsel projects. I screencap everything myself for EDF Photo, if you use them credit is appreciated but not required.

You’ll be seeing me soon,

EDF Photo // Also coming soon!

Along with the site’s official opening tomorrow (I’m excited!), I will be launching EDF Photo – edseldopefan.org’s photo archive. As we want to be a complete resource for you here at EDF, we think it’s important to provide you as much media and info as possible on our icon.

Have you taken a photo with Edsel at a show? Would you like your work displayed on EDF.org? Send me a mail to cristinaswg@gmail.com with any donations for the site. Please include the proper means to credit you with any donations you send. There’s a few things I will not accept:

  • Candids (non performance photos Edsel did not know you were taking.) This is basically no different from paparazzi snaps, and we have a policy against those types of photos.
  • Any other images or donations that might violate his privacy.
  • Any images that you do not own the copyright of. (This is fairly easy to verify)

That’s it really! Just simple rules to respect Edsel. Reach out if you would like to donate!
