When the pandemic started and I lost my job, I did what any sane person would do. I started a floating popsicle business on a motorized raft made of trash. Long story short, it got very popular, and after about four months the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department changed a law and came after me. I thought it would be fun to make some merch for my slain business.

My raft was made of pallets and covered in astroturf, lawn flamingos, and inflatable palm trees. Each sticker represents a different prominent element of the business: the sun, popsicles, fruit, palm trees, and flamingos.
