Great, I forgot to ask: who are the models?

When we approached [Dr. Walker](http://instagram.com/dr_walker_liquid_sky) and [Liquid Sky Artistcollective](https://www.liquidskyartistcollective.com/) with the idea, his entire reply was simply: "Klar. Wir machen gern ein T-Shirt für euch." ("Sure. We'd love to make a T-shirt for you.") That enthusiasm perfectly reflects a relationship that started long before this anniversary.

The models are the stock models of Spreadconnect

I am however torn how to present the shirts. It does not look right now. I have some alternatives in mind, but I have actually no clue about these things.

I need help!

Does anyone know why code spell still complains about "Lazer". I have put it to .codespellignore.

it expects 'laser', it should ignore words with a capital letter (names)

I have replaced the model pictures with a merch shop scene.
This is ready to go now. Please have a look and merge.

@daschuer do you still have the source file for the T-Shirt display image?
While the light shirts stand out nicely, I can barely see the shape of the dark ones.

This is a quick test with Gimp, just tried something with the Shadows plugin and compression, though lighting changed a bit

oh okay, this was really just an issue with my screen.
The current image is good enough under normal conditions.
Sorry for the noise...

I can confirm that you can hardly see the black shirts. Also the colour temperature does not look right. I tweaked it again and now it looks better.
