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:

  1. Pure fun and enjoyment.
  2. 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.

What are your thoughts?

    I think it would be really cool to see some solid Beehaw merch out there! I loved the previous cute little cowboy bee with the cowboy hat, but I don’t know if that’s an option. I love a cutsie lil round bumbly bee with a cowboy hat!!! The shirt in your post is also very cute! Bee cool! 🐝💕

    But… To be clear, there’s no way in hell I’d ever be able to afford any merch, since my health issues and disabilities keep me from being able to work and earn money, so don’t give my opinions much attention 😆

      It would be cool to be able buy merch with the option to donate the same merch (or cost of merch for other needs depending on request) to another person in the community.

        Yeah this is where I’m at too. I’d definitely be willing to pay for some swag to get sent to other community members who otherwise may not be able to afford it, but I also would like it to be anonymous.
