MODERATORS
In the past, Beeple had inquired about having Beehaw merchandise. At that time, they thought it would be a good way to raise funds to keep the site going.
Now that our finances are OK I’d like to revisit this idea for the following reasons:
- Pure fun and enjoyment.
- A way to get attention and draw people to Beehaw.
My brother has been in the professional textile space for 15 years. I asked him what he’d recommend as a merchandise platform and he immediately responded: Printify
If someone wanted to take this on, then they would want to coordinate things with the admin team here at Beehaw.

I love the idea and I think it meets the goals you are aiming for! Any ol design would be neat, but if I'm being picky, I think I prefer the artstyle of our beemojis. Those are also pretty hi-res, so I could see a t-shirt design that just straight-up copies those over to a t-shirt print.
Unfortunately, the Blobbee emojis cannot be used for commercial purposes.
However, someone creative could easily come up with ideas based on them.
Okay secondary idea: weren't the community icons created FOR Beehaw? I think a shirt that puts the various sub icons together into a full honeycomb structure would also be sick.
Yes. We paid for those. However, we cannot use those for commercial purposes.
okay, interesting. thanks for the info!
