MEET FLEKZFROM THEIR HEADS TO YOUR TOWEL
A loose collection of artists, troublemakers and professional doodlers.
We make useful things with artists we admire. Every artist brings a distinct style. Every towel gives that style somewhere to live. Every now and then somebody buys one and carries the artist’s work into the world.
ART YOU CAN DRY OFF WITH.

ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE SOMETHINGGOT YOUR OWN ART?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BECOME A HAPPY FACED ARTIST TO PUT YOUR ART ON A TOWEL.
Maybe you've already got a following. Maybe you're building a merch line. Maybe you made something weird at 2:00 in the morning and now you're wondering what it would look like six feet wide and absorbent.
We make custom towels for artists, illustrators, designers, creators and other people with work worth putting somewhere besides another T-shirt.
Bring finished artwork or bring the beginning of an idea. We can talk through the towel, size, quantity, presentation and custom packaging.
EXPLORE CUSTOM TOWELSTHIS COULD BE YOU
If you make things worth looking at, we should probably know about you. Worst case, we stare at your portfolio for a while and quietly question our own life choices.

THIS IS HOW MORE COOL SHIT GETS MADEA VERY SMALL ECONOMICS LESSON
YOU GET ART. THEY GET PAID.
WE GET TO MAKE MORE WEIRD SHIT.
When you buy one of our artist-designed towels, you’re doing more than buying a towel with a cool picture on it.
You’re helping us keep working with independent artists, commission new artwork, bring more creative people into the Happy Faced universe and turn their work into stuff you can actually use.
The more people support these towels, the more artists we can work with and the more chances we get to make something nobody else would have bothered making.
Pretty simple system, really. You buy something cool. The artist gets supported. We get to call another artist and say, “Want to make something weird with us?”
