About Us & FAQ

About Us

Holic Collective started in 2023, when three artist friends who loved the same anime and gaming fandoms combined their art, design, and manufacturing skills into one shared vision. We were frustrated with the artist alley scene at the time, wanted to make something more elaborate and more thought out: merch that lets us tastefully objectify the men of the fandoms we love. We believe the medium is the message, so we work in specialty prints, acrylics, and physical formats that a flat print or sticker simply can't do.

Since then we've tabled conventions across North America, including Anime Expo, Anime NYC, ACEN, Fanime, Anime Los Angeles, Anime Weekend Atlanta, C2E2, and many more, and sold to over 10,000 people in person. We opened our online shop in 2025 so everyone who's found us at a con, or wishes they could, can shop with us year-round.

Every design here is made and authorized by our artists, and this shop is the only place to get it. If you see these designs sold anywhere else, it's an unauthorized reprint that doesn't support the artist who made it.
