BoldEgoist

We're Ickah and Sam, two Detroit-local artists who manage a shop together. Welcome to our carrd! Bounce around to find out a little but more about us, or check out our socials so you know where to follow!

Our primary shop now has more discounts and (limited) international shipping! Whoopee! (*As of 2025 we are no longer able to ship to the EU.)

Our Etsy shop has a limited range of products and higher pricing due to Etsy's policies and fee structure. We keep it open for those of you who want to utilize the wishlist feature.
