SO WHAT IS THIS?
This is Bandit’s Corner Store. We are an online store. We are here for the art of small DIY in-house press. Our DIY reflects our personal values: care, craftsmanship, mastery of tools and material. We want to perfect in-house press so we can have the same strengths of the horizontal organizations that nurtured us; we can be nimble, responsive and resilient. Our methods should be reproducible; easy enough to implement and accessible to those with a short stack and a bit of determination. We are printing in house for the self empowerment and skills we learn along the way.
So is this like a web store or a print shop?
But, like, are you an anarchist?
Yes I am an anarchist. I believe in mutual aid and cooperation over coercion and competition. I have no tolerance for oppression or imperialism. I believe capitalism does not serve the needs of the whole species nor the whole planet and that the expansion, evolution and growth of the system actually harms the species/earth whole. Within this system of death-earth production and death-species production called capitalism, particular intersecting thought-action-institutional strands of oppression operate like racism, sexism and classism. They should be dismantled. The state and it’s imperialist projects should be [no more]. We conjure destructive energy against the System and direct love to the afflicted.
Is this an /anarchist/ store?
The store is just a regular store. The profits from this store and its activities will go to print more shit and provide for the sustenance and security of our gang; myself, my cat brother, my cat sister, and my bonded pair of pet humans.
The store spreads anarchist sentiments through the cultural fabric and multiplies the sites of counter cultural art in real life. I’m happy with that. Sometimes we may print something just because it’s pretty or funny or reminds us of something we like. I’m happy with that too. Both my humans must work regular jobs outside of the print shop for now, but the extra dough helps us be generous and mischievous.
One day we also hope to sell wares to raise funds in concert with projects we are in solidarity with.
Are your wares good?
Best they can be. We have backgrounds in printing, production, art and design. We are frequently experimenting with new materials and inks and testing in the back of the shop before we bring them out to you. We’re very proud of our productions and kind of haunted by chasing the ghost of perfection in this project. You be the judge.
So whatcha got?
We specialize in stickers, totes and 1.25” buttons.
