2026 Hoodie Design Ideas ✨🧵 The Creative Pulse Continues

You may have thought it was over. I hope not. 🌙

Although it is far from ideal to disappear for a few months from a creative blog, that is definitely what happened. Please forgive my tardiness, and please know this space remains deeply important to me. ✨ Through this most recent chapter, the Hoodie Club has continued to keep a steady pulse moving through this creative hub and think tank. 🖤

Which means… it is time once again to ask:

🧵 What would you love to see on the 2026 Hoodie?
🌌 What themes feel alive for you right now?
🪲 What ideas, symbols, myths, textures, creatures, or moods have been inspiring you lately?
Do tell.

So…what exactly has been keeping me away from this creative corner of the internet?

For starters, I currently have an encaustic art show up at Bonsai Brewing Project alongside Khalila Friedman and Lorinda Smith. 🎨 The work has been hanging since the beginning of April, and the closing reception is this Sunday, May 24th, paired with an Artist Pop-Up from 4–8pm.

Will there be Raskol Hoodies there?
YEA. 🖤

Will Hoodie Club members receive a discount?
Without a doubt. ✨

So stop in, say hello, and let’s talk art. And if you happen to bring Hoodie Club ideas with you, I will absolutely have a notebook nearby ready to catch them. 📓✍️

Another major shift in life:
I am now officially operating as a full solo-preneur. 🍸🚗🌲

In many ways, I have had at least one proverbial foot in that world since 2008 when Raskol Ink first began. But over the years things have morphed, expanded, unraveled, rewoven, and evolved into something much larger than I originally imagined.

In its latest adaptation, I now travel throughout Montana as a spirits representative for four different brands under the pseudonym Raskol Spirits. 🥃

What matters most to me is that every brand I work with values community, gathering, storytelling, and creativity. These beverage spaces become platforms for connection and creative experiences—art shows, poetry nights, stand-up comedy, Tarot & Tequila gatherings, and the many strange and beautiful ideas that emerge when people sit together and share conversation. 🌙🍹🎭

Each brand is rooted in a rich sense of place, tradition, mythology, craft, and flavor. That combination feels deeply aligned with the spirit of Raskol Ink and the type of creative world I want to help cultivate. ✨

The last few months have involved a tremendous amount of travel, learning, and introducing myself—and my dog—to many interesting humans. 🐕 After an intense stretch of movement, I am finally beginning to feel a rhythm returning to my days and my travels.

And through all of it, I have tried to maintain one very important responsibility:
continuing my Raskol Ink duties by sketching in bars. ✍️🍻

Back when I first began bartending under the pseudonym Raskol Drink, I had visions of drawing the strange and wonderful places and characters who inevitably drift through boozy places. One of my favorite artists, Al Hirschfeld, has always inspired me for this reason. His sketches captured not just a person, but the entire spirit of the room surrounding them. 🎩✨

This new combination of spirits, storytelling, travel, sketching, and community feels like it is beginning to weave together in a way that makes sense. 🧵

And truly—I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you have continued to be here, helping hold the proverbial fort down while Raskol Ink continues to evolve and sustain itself. 🖤

So let us gather our ideas once again.
Let us find new threads to weave from the imagination into line, ink, hoodie, and design. 🌌🪡

I am so glad you are here. ✨
