about this shop:

I created this place for myself and for all the people who, like me, are neurodivergent or just out of place in this big and confusing reality.

If you are mostly nonverbal or unwilling to explain yourself to someone who cannot understand, but still want to let them know something, I may have created the right piece for the occasion...?

I don't know, you tell me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I try to bring you all quality merch by searching the best products to print and reach your hearts.

You will find the same kind of products but in a different fit, fabric and brand, because I know my people and I want to give everybody the freedom to choose and buy the most satisfying and comfortable things they can have.

I'm here to spread love like I spread butter on my toast. But I like to stir the waters and bring some funny chaos into the world too (like when the toast falls from my hand to the ground, on the side of the butter... obviously). Life is funnier that way!

...don't you agree?

( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡•)

about the designs:

Every design I make is something I wish to find myself in my favorite shops! But I don't, so I spent years trying to find a solution to this problem of mine.

I tried other print on demand platforms in the past but none of them had the quality I wished for, so I abandoned that idea for a long time before starting all over again with my personal website!

I like to share how I feel and what I am with clothes and accessories, I always personalized my things in every way possible to make them fit my taste and mood.

I now have a lot of possibilities to make something for me and for ya'll as well, and I love it!

I take inspiration on memes and things I love like geese, cats, birds, little word plays, etc...

Dumb stuff mostly, but I have a fair share of serious designs too. Those are a bit older and I put them in my personal art collection.

A little Story time:

Hello! I am Painroses!

I'm based in Italy.

I studied art by myself since I was born and continued it "professionally" in high school.

After school, and a few years of a normal boring life, I felt the urge to find myself once again so I started searching for a brand new name, and I found it in the "all you can eat" sushi restaurant near me.

It was there... in the menu. My friends ordered it because it was too weird and we had to see with our own eyes.

But I could not take a bite of it, not even for a bet (I ate too much I was so full but even if I wasn't, I doubt I would have eaten one).

They were there. Eight pieces of uramaki banana. The most disgusting things after the banana toast I once made.

🍚🍌

I love bananas, I eat them almost every day when I have the chance. I even called myself a banana when I was younger because I relate to them so much, in a conceptual way. But when they are cooked they smell like barf or something... anyway, that name was so fascinating for me, I had to take it and make something out of it.

After a couple of years I decided to use it for my brand and make a lot of dumb things with this new identity.

I'm Banana You're Banana!

After all that, I will just add this little paragraph here:

Everything I make is entirely drawn by me, I'm not using any AI tools or such. It's just my mind, my iPad with Procreate or Affinity designer, or my pc with my pretty old Intuos tablet and an old as heck version of Photoshop. And sometimes references; because the brain needs to remember how things are made.

💕

So by purchasing my merch you will have some unique designs and products, and you will support the art that flows in me. That way I will have a reason to keep drawing for you all and finally live my dream!

***Please, if you have some request for a particular product or graphic, and I find the idea exciting, or you need a specific product with an existing graphic I made, I'll be happy to add it in the catalog!***

Write me by reaching one of my socials to ask!
