How it works

  1. Send your design. Upload it below or send a link, tell us about it, and pick the products and the price.
  2. We take a look. We check it prints well and fits Deadstock, then email you. If it’s a yes, we make a mock-up for you to approve.
  3. It goes up as a pre-order. Your design goes on the shop with a countdown. Buyers pay when they order, and we print once 5 are ordered. If it doesn’t reach 5 before the countdown ends, every buyer is refunded and nothing is owed either way.
  4. We print and post. Once it hits 5, we print the run and post every order. After that it sells like any other item.
  5. You get paid. You get your share for every item sold, paid by bank transfer at the end of each month, with a list of what sold.

What you get

You choose the price. A higher price means a bigger cut for you but fewer buyers. Deadstock shirts are usually $35 and totes $25.

Artist terms

The plain-English deal between you and Deadstock by Monster Mouse (7 Sydney St, Marrickville NSW 2204). Ticking the box on the form means you agree to these.

  1. Your art stays yours. You keep the copyright. You give Deadstock a non-exclusive licence to print your design on the products you picked, show it on our website and social media, and sell it while it’s listed. You can sell it anywhere else too.
  2. It has to be yours to give. You confirm you made the artwork or have permission to use everything in it (band names, logos, photos, other people’s art). If someone claims otherwise, we take it down and you’re responsible for that claim.
  3. We can say no. We choose what goes on Deadstock. We don’t print anything hateful, discriminatory or that we can’t legally sell.
  4. Pre-order first. New designs start as a pre-order and need 5 orders before the countdown ends. If they don’t get there, all buyers are refunded and neither of us owes the other anything.
  5. Your share. For every item sold you get the amount shown for the price you picked: the sale price minus the print and blank cost and the card fee, split 50/50. Postage isn’t part of it. Refunded or returned items don’t count.
  6. Getting paid. We pay by bank transfer within 14 days of the end of each month that had sales, with a statement of what sold. We’ll ask for your bank details once your design is accepted. You’re responsible for your own tax.
  7. Prices and changes. The price stays what you picked unless we both agree to change it. We’ll tell you before running any sale or discount on your design.
  8. Taking it down. Either of us can end the listing with 30 days’ notice by email. Orders already paid for are still filled and paid out.
  9. Your details. We use what you send only to run this: to contact you, list your design and pay you. We don’t share it with anyone else.
