I owe Fortean Giftorium a proper introduction.
So here it is. We decided running 12 different pod shops to try and service merch for all of our websites, along with the various designs that different parts of the company sell; was just too much.
So we put it together and made a new webstore that serves all of us.
How do we niche that down?
HAHAHHAHAHAH
As if I were capable.
I cant even niche down a sentence to one topic most of the time.
I mean this article about the Fortean Giftorium is dangerously close to devolving into an article about my communication habits/skills, defense mechanisms, and mental health.
So anyway, we are reintroducing all of our designs as they post…and we are doing it on relevant irreverence because 99% of the content is relevant to the production company and its values. That is to say, most of the shop is straight up weird stuff.
Would you expect anything different? I hope not.
Anyway, instead of boring you with a bunch of yapping about the FeeJee Mermaid again, I will refer you to these seven links. FeeJee Mermaid Shirt – FeeJee Mermaid Shirt – FeeJee Mermaid Article – FeeJee Mermaid Article – FeeJee Mermaid Article – FeeJee Mermaid Article – FeeJee Mermaid Article
And from there, here is a rundown of
what you can expect at the Fortean Giftorium.
If Charles Fort would have looked at it and raised his eyebrow, then jotted down some notes while peering ever more curiously… then it has a place at the Fortean Giftorium. We will be adding a new item to the catalogue daily in 2025. We expect to have our current catalogue fully online and in one shop before 2026 begins….if I don’t find design time, which is really the only thing I want to do so…
For those of you uninformed and/or disinterested in the work of Charles Fort, that list could include but would not be limited to, nor exclusive of Lost civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria, hauntings and poltergeists, cryptids such as Bigfoot, the Mongolian Death Worm, and the Beast of Gévaudan, mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, spontaneous human combustion, ley lines and magnetic anomalies, UFO sightings, Area 51 conspiracies, ancient astronauts, interdimensional beings, parallel universes, time slips, ghost ships like the Flying Dutchman, secret societies like the Illuminati, Freemasons, and the New World Order, spontaneous invisibility, doppelgängers, urban legends like Slenderman, creepypastas, rain of frogs or blood, alchemy and sacred geometry, werewolves and vampires, phantom limb sensations, OOPArts like the Antikythera Mechanism, ball lightning, stigmata, astral projection, lucid dreaming, shadow people, angels and demons, underwater anomalies, the Mandela Effect, cursed objects, ancient ruins like Göbekli Tepe and Stonehenge, crop circles, the Roswell incident, men in black, and bizarre phenomena like earthquake lights, tulpas, phantom hitchhikers, ultraterrestrials, digital mysteries like Cicada 3301, and mysterious diseases or miraculous healings.
Variants of each of these things would of course have to be considered alongside previous decisions to see where the company has stood on matters in the past.
If it is weird, involves creatures of any kind, or is something that otherwise might end up on a tee-shirt that really shouldn’t be. It has a fair chance of getting in.
As always, you can reach out to me any number of ways if you have questions, concerns, or ideas.
OH. I almost forgot. There are sections that have things that are outside of that very wide scope.
That is because like most weirdoes, my tastes and interests are eclectic…and the company has multiple faces. So you will also find sub shops (and they may spin off as we add staff) for the
Cernunnos Foundation (The Cernunnos Foundation website serves as the creative and intellectual hub for a diverse range of projects that blend art, innovation, and environmental stewardship. It showcases an eclectic mix of content, from imaginative art pieces and Fortean-themed creations to groundbreaking concepts like the River Refugium Project, which addresses water quality and sustainable systems. Visitors can explore thought-provoking articles, project updates, and detailed insights into the foundation’s mission to fuse creativity with real-world impact.
The site emphasizes a strong commitment to fostering creativity as its primary product, promoting art through various formats such as prints, NFTs, and merchandise available in the connected Fortean Giftorium. With a clean and intuitive design, the website invites engagement through its storytelling, marketing initiatives, and rich visual elements. Whether visitors are drawn to its artistic endeavors, environmental solutions, or innovative storytelling projects like Relevant Irreverence, the Cernunnos Foundation website serves as a dynamic platform for imagination and action to intersect, inspiring a global audience.)
, the many projects and features over at the Blue Ribbon Team
(The Blue Ribbon Team website features a rich array of content catering to urban exploration, lifestyle, and social issues with a focus on entertainment and utility. The site includes detailed reviews and travel guides for city attractions, highlighting the best restaurants, architecture, and hidden gems. Social issue coverage emphasizes critical topics like single-payer healthcare, presented with accessible insights and thought-provoking commentary. Readers can explore engaging articles on innovative products like bidet toilet seats, which are featured prominently for their functionality and humor, alongside other unique lifestyle items. The site offers vibrant photography and user-friendly layouts to enhance the reading experience. In addition, Blue Ribbon Team provides curated recommendations for urban adventures and daily living, with a playful yet practical tone that invites readers to rethink and enrich their day-to-day choices.)
And of course my projects both under the Relevant Irreverence Production Label and my artwork under the name of StepBastard. Neither of these should have any problem staying in line with the shop theme, since their productions create the need to have a separate shop away from other POD companies. We are of a different nature.
At any rate. I hope you have enjoyed…and let me know if there is any weird stuff you would like to see in the Fortean Giftorium shop.
