Our story

One graphic, printed plainly.

RobotsAteMyBrain is a one-tee label run by a designer named Mark. The mark is the mark — the Grawk — and the project exists to put that single graphic on a single tee, at a single price, with nothing else to explain.

Who made it

RobotsAteMyBrain is the work of one person, working out of a small studio and shipping through a US print partner. There is no creative director, no brand committee, no seasonal line. If a tee is in the catalog, it is because the person who draws the art decided it was good enough to wear. Mark has been drawing since he was old enough to hold a pencil, and the Grawk is the first drawing that survived the years — the one he kept coming back to.

Why this mark

The Grawk is a boxy little robot head with glowing red eyes, a row of jagged teeth, and a "Hello my name is…" nametag reading Grawk across its chest. Underneath, the wordmark reads "Robots ate my brain." It is drawn vertical and in one weight so it crops cleanly across sizes, prints well on heavyweight cotton, and reads the same on a black tee as on a white one. The nametag framing is the point — a friendly, slightly bureaucratic label stuck to a thing that is not friendly at all. The joke is in the contrast, and the contrast is what makes it stick.

The subculture it speaks to

RobotsAteMyBrain sits inside the screen-print / zine / DIY-nametag tradition — small labels that print one thing well and refuse to grow it into a catalog. The aesthetic is closer to a risograph handout than a fashion drop: one mark, one tee, one price, no SKUs, no deadstock, no seasonal reset. The people it is for are the ones who already own too many tees and would rather have one they actually wear.
