Time flies when you’re having fungus 🍄

We’re so proud to celebrate three years of Mushroomy 🥳

Thank you for being part of this journey with us, we can’t wait to share this next chapter with you all!

This year our artists have put together a HUGE birthday sale featuring hundreds of their creations ❤️

Be You Festival... a possible evolution of this grassroots music movement.

Imagine it somewhere in Virginia: maybe a farm near Richmond/Henrico, or out on the magical shores of the Eastern Shore. A real place, real people, real sound.

Artists could pay a small, accessible fee ($10–20) for a vendor spot and get a genuine chance to perform. This isn’t about clout or algorithms...it’s a festival for musicians/artists who want to play, who feel like the digital gods and tech machinery are doing everything possible to keep them from shining.

Our philosophy is simple: it’s about what you give the listener. Whether that’s someone discovering your track on a long walk, or the joy they feel standing in front of a live performance.

Everyone deserves a chance to practice in front of a real audience, to create a good time, to feel the exchange that music is actually about.

See these photos? That’s the heart of the industry...not the metrics determining your value.

Some of the best talent out there is completely unheard and honestly, it’s almost criminal how much great music gets buried by arbitrary gatekeeping.

That’s the goal here: level the playing field and bring joy and fun back into music. Not this constant misery where people feel defeated just because they’re not big on social media or seeing a lot of streams. Music was never meant to be a numbers game...it’s meant to be felt, shared, and enjoyed. It's supposed to bring people together not alienate them into a bubble.

I uhh... might have gone a bit overkill with the merch LOL but I really want to set up at conventions this year. This is also making me realize I really need to set up a personal website for the comic as well as the merch.

Also, just a reminder, there's 14 days to go on the Kickstarter, please support if you're interested! We're just over 2/3 of the way there!
