From Sketches to Tees: The Cardtisan
✏️ I sketched a logo, fused card and artisan, and Cardtisan was born.
The First Spark ⚡
It began at a cluttered kitchen table in a thunderstorm. A few dice, worn rulebooks, and one unforgettable D&D session pulled us in.
College papers replaced character sheets, careers pushed quests aside, and the dice pouch settled into a drawer.
One summer night I opened that drawer again. The thrill returned—the moment the dungeon door creaks and every lantern feels brighter.
2019
Sold the first “Crit Happens” tee at a local game-store meet-up and discovered strangers laugh at the same inside jokes my party did.
2020
Turned the spare bedroom into a print-on-demand lair, cranking out designs between Zoom calls and late-night boss battles.
2023
Quit the day job, hired fellow adventurers, and forged alliances with indie artists dreaming in pixel-perfect nat-20s.
Today
Ship tees across the realms—er, the United States—while building a community where every order feels like unwrapping loot at the table.
Our Creed
A hero should be two things: bold and legendary. We believe there’s magic in simplicity, so every tee we forge
keeps the design clean, the fabric soft, and the message epic.
We outfit the adventurer who juggles day jobs and dungeon crawls—the one who stays late for raids and still makes the morning
meeting. Balancing real-world responsibilities and fantasy quests isn’t easy, but the right gear helps you roll with confidence.
Our alliances with indie artists and ethical producers took years to build, and we guard those bonds like dragon hoards.
Fame for fame’s sake? Hard pass. We craft for players—whether they’re rolling dice in the corner booth or streaming to thousands.
Cardtisan’s mission is simple: make epic style accessible to every party member. If our shirts help you feel braver, happier,
or a little more chaotic good, we’ve succeeded.
