Make It Rain
The cowrie shell was Africa's first currency - traded across continents, worn as adornment, buried with kings. This print honors that original blockchain: value agreed upon, community enforced.

The cowrie shell was Africa's first currency - traded across continents, worn as adornment, buried with kings. This print honors that original blockchain: value agreed upon, community enforced.
The Inspiration
For over 4,000 years, cowrie shells were the currency of exchange across Africa, South Asia, and the Pacific. Small enough to carry, beautiful enough to wear, valuable because everyone agreed they were.
The Pattern
Royal blues and emerald greens evoke depths where shells are gathered. Gold accents speak to the wealth they represented. The concentric circles are eyes - watching, witnessing, validating each transaction.
From the London Underground to the SkyTrain, from Pike Place to Powell's - every grey city has its flows of exchange.
Global Markets
Pike Place. Gastown. Powell's Books. The Money print finds its home wherever commerce happens - wherever people gather to buy, sell, trade, and connect.
Cowrie shells, concentric eye circles, geometric blocks - an intricate conversation between ancient currency and modern movement.
