Introducing Bitecoins! These are small, brass, arcade token style coins that feature the Bitcoin logo on one side and a NO CASH VALUE on the back! And.. a little nibble..
This is actually a remake of a very old project I made back in 2016, before Wask ever even existed. I wasn’t super happy with the original project (mostly due to manufacturer problems) and I’ve always wanted to make it again in some way. It wasn’t until this year that I got the idea to make it in an arcade token format.
Here are our first ever T-shirts! The Vanity Size T-shirts. They ship duty-free to USA!
The concept for these evolved over time. I knew I wanted to make a super simple “Wask-esque” shirt but for the longest time I couldn’t think about what that could be. Then one day, I started thinking about those size stickers that often come on clothing. My first idea was to actually make a “luxury” version of that sticker (with raised gold foil and fancy fonts, etc.) that you can willingly stick onto your shirt when going out. The second idea was to permanently embroider the size sticker design onto the shirt. I went with this second idea!
These shirts were actually quite a bit of a headache to make, and expensive, because I opted to have them made in Canada! They’re not some cheap “print to order” style T-shirt. I quality checked every part of this process, including paying extra to have some of the shirt sizes shortened since I found them incredibly long. It’s a super small batch to start, which is why the stock and colour options are practically non-existent.
If there is enough interest in the shirts, I can make more in the future and add more styles – so let me know your thoughts.
So this summer I decided to get crafty and make a giant “Think Twice Dice” prop mostly out of styrofoam and took some fun pics with it!
Huge thanks to my friend Justin Poulsen for taking the photos and helping me with my prop! Justin also just launched his own online novelty shop, Wurs Mart, so check it out!
Early this year I got a Shopify Milestones award for reaching 10,000 sales on Wask (and Shopify is the e-commerce platform for it). Considering my little online shop started as an obsessive side hobby of mine, I’m proud of this achievement and figured I’d share it here. 🥰
Thank you to anybody who has ever bought one of my strange product creations, or shared my store to a friend, or commented on my work!
The latest Wask product is a super simple one. Among all the smile balloons in the world, I found there to be a lack of sarcastic smiles – the upside down smile – so I’ve decided to offer them. These are the “I Hope You’re Happy” balloons! 🙃
The latest Wask product is a straw that looks like a pencil! I was just surprised that this wasn’t a thing yet… because I wanted to use it. Check out these pencil straws on my shop! They’re plastic and reusable, and sold in packs of five.
Hey, it’s been quiet around here since it’ll still be a while before I can launch some new products… and in the meantime my friend lent me some macro lenses for a different project. So I thought it might be fun to take some macro Wask product shots!

Good luck!
So it turns out my dice journey hasn’t reached a “good enough” point after all!
Long story short: after a few weeks of checking & packaging the dice, it turns out that the newest dice batch (Manufacturer E – batch 1) that has been selling this year is prone to the ink “flaking off” from use or from rolling it on surfaces. You can read all of the details on the now-updated blog entry from January!
If you purchased dice this year up until February 25th, and you noticed your dice are flaking a little, I can send you a replacement of a newer improved batch (Manufacturer E – batch 2), just reach out to Wask!
The “Dice + Candy Sale” is here for one week! From Feb 4th until Feb 11th.
I don’t have sales very often because most of my products are made in small batches and have small profit margins – being an independent designer and all! But if sales end up being manageable and beneficial for Wask then I’ll consider doing a few others in the future.
Are there other Wask products you’d like to see on sale? Maybe I can make it work!
