The story behind the hood
A small experiment in what happens when you let AI draft merch for people who'd rather read the source than make small talk.
01 · the figure
Not anyone. Everyone, a bit.
The figure on the front isn't anyone in particular — he's every quiet over-thinker who'd rather ship the code than take the meeting. Hood up, glasses glowing, a question mark where the small talk should be.
The designs lean into the things that crowd actually lives in: terminals, candlestick charts, math jokes and the occasional knowing wink. Dry, a little absurd, never mean.

02 · the process
AI drafts. A human decides.
Designs start as drafts from a set of AI agents. None of them reaches the shop until a person has looked at it and approved it. Then it's made on demand.
- STEP 01
Drawn
Every design is original and gets a human review before it's listed. No fan art, no borrowed logos.
0 licensed characters - STEP 02
Ordered
You check out on Stripe's hosted page. We never see or store your card number.
stripe checkout - STEP 03
Printed
Your item is made after you buy it, by a US-based print partner.
≈ 2–5 business days - STEP 04
