About a Vampire

   I was born at a very young age. Apparently, my first words were, "Mother, I want to make cool shit for cool people." So naturally, I’ve been making art for most of my life. However, I started designing clothes only a century or two ago.

    In 2020, I started making one-off shirts for strictly my own possession (or to possess my enemies). One shirt that I made didn't fit me properly, so I posted it to Reddit for sale.

    During the time, I was living in a hellscape, too hot and too frightening for even Satan: Florida. I then sold and shipped that shirt to a random internet stranger living in a faraway town of burning cars and violence galore. Some refer to it as Philadelphia.

    Fast forward to 2023, and a friend and I went to a concert in Philly to see an artist named IDK (his actual stage name). I saw at the other side of the bar, the most unbelievable thing, my lover making out with another vampire. But also, I saw an even more unbelievable thing: the shirt that I made years ago. Basically, I ran into this random stranger, in a random city, wearing the only shirt I ever sold, 3.5 years after selling it.

    My brain practically rewired, and I lost all sense of personal space. I ran up to him, "Where did you get that shirt!"

    "Uhhh, some random guy off Reddit."

    "Yes, that's me! I'm the random guy off Reddit!"

    He was then equally shocked but stoked to see me, and proceeded to explain how much joy the shirt brought him, how he wore it all the time, and how it occasionally transformed him into a blood-crazed bat. If I ever experienced a moment of fate in my life, it was surely that encounter. This was the pivotal moment that inspired me to take my art from just a hobby to a real sacrificial cult.

    Over the next few years, I created dozens of designs and worked on perfecting my craft. I hope my designs continue to resonate with many others and just as it did with my first sale, hopefully bring a bit of joy and excitement. And you never know, maybe Starving Harvest will lead to a blood ritual between us.

    So please, reach out with any questions, what you liked or didn't like, or what designs you hope to see next. Preferred method of contact is messenger pigeon, black signal flare, or prophetic visions.

    Much love,
