MISC! is trying to open doors on a brick-and-mortar store, and needs your help. 

MISC! is a synthesis of pop culture and graphic design- bringing to you collectibles and apparel that revolves around those collectibles and the pop culture we know and love. Like horror movies? We have original t-shirt designs based on your favorites, as well as books, soundtracks and toys to go along with it. Into vinyl? We have records to suit all your needs, as well as apparel to let everyone know that you know your stuff. Collect comics? We bring you trades and back issues as well as vintage and new toys. Are you an artist? We can print your designs on tees and display your originals on our walls. 

We have combined our two separate areas of expertise into one idea and we are bringing it to the Chicagoland area. Mike is a lover of pop culture of all kinds, and a graphic designer/screen printer. Bill is an avid collector and reseller of books, records, toys and comics.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Donate and be a part of creating a brick & mortar haven for both buyers and sellers, with fair prices and justice for all!


What We Need & What You Get

We have amazing perks offered, including custom items, discounts in-store, and meticulously curated subscriptions. 

Custom artwork is coming soon - see samples of the artists' work: Pungent Basement ArtHeartside Gallery • Christopher James Hopkins • April Bawolek
We are looking to raise 30K as a starting investment in the business in order to renovate a rented space, permits and fees, initial stock for the store, upgrade of equipment, moving costs, signage, legal fees and any and all miscellaneous items that pop up along the way. 

The Impact

We feel that while there are similar stores in the Chicagoland area, we want to create an open and welcome environment, for both customers buying our products and sellers bringing us items.


Risks & Challenges

We know that this isn't an easy task, or a guaranteed goldmine. We are ready to work hard, and make this dream of ours come true. 


Other Ways You Can Help

We understand that not everyone is in the position to help financially, but we appreciate every bit of support. 

  • Please share on your preferred social media site and get the word out!
  • Donate t-shirt designs! We will print and sell your shirts and promote your website and art.
  • Donate office supplies- anything helps!
