THE CYBERPUNK NEKO LINE

Wear the
death cult

Ten plates drawn for The Maneki Neko Death Cult — the beckoning cat, its face coming apart into signal, and the seal that closes every episode. Traced to vector, cut to a single ink, and measured against the press that has to hold it.

All of it is priced at cost. Every page shows what the printer charges and what shipping runs — then sells it to you for exactly that. 4 legacy listings carry a small floor Fourthwall won’t let us drop ($3.00 and $3.60), and say so on their own page; everywhere else, the studio makes nothing on a shirt unless you decide it should.

The Cyberpunk Neko tee — one-ink plate on a black heavyweight shirt

Why this shop is built backwards

“You’re maybe buying a little anti-machine feeling off me right now, and it’s real, and it’s also merch, and I can’t fully untangle the two, and the only honest thing I can do is what I’m doing: tell you it’s a rail, and let you check your own jacket.”

The Maneki Neko Death Cult · Door 14

Twenty-four doors of a show about the line between a signal and its merch, and then a merch table. There is no version of that which isn’t funny. So the table is built to survive the joke: the arithmetic goes on the page, the price is the arithmetic, and the studio takes nothing.

“I’ll try to keep the actual cost in it. It’s the only way I know to stay a truth and not a T-shirt.” Door 13 said it first. This is that, done literally — the cost is kept in, printed out, and handed to you before you buy.

If you want the studio to make something, there is a separate button for that, on every product page, for any amount you like. It is deliberately not folded into the price of a garment, because a markup you can’t see is exactly the thing the book is about.

The News Center 9 Station Store

The News Center 9 Station Store

The gift shop of a local news station that no longer exists, stocked by two machines who are certain it is a very important station. Every piece is a genuine 1990s station-promo item — the anchor-team promo shot, the bug on a polo, the test card, the report card — cut in the house style with the CRT grade baked into the halftone.

Halcyon Fulfillment — Dock 4

The liquidation sale of a company that quietly stopped existing. Home-shopping graphics for a product that is not on the pedestal, pitched at 3 a.m. to nobody. Everything must go, and everything is at cost, which is the one price a conversion-copy engine cannot say out loud without cracking.

03 — How it ships

Made the day you buy it

Printed on demand

Nothing is made until someone orders it. No warehouse, no minimum run, no box of unsold larges under a desk.

Checkout is off-site

This page is a catalogue. Buying hands you to the print partner, who takes the payment, prints the garment, and ships it.

Returns go to them

Wrong size, damaged in transit, lost by the courier — the printer owns it. Their support desk, their replacement.
