Welcome to Mythical Swag
Where we believe that self-expression shouldn't be confined to one month or limited to a rainbow. Frustrated by the lack of fun, inclusive products that truly represent the full spectrum of queer identities, I created Mythical Swag to fill in the gap with original designs that capture the magical spirit of the LGBTQ+ community.
My goal is to create fun and unique prints that celebrate the queer experience, then working with POD providers to bring them to you.
With Mythical Swag, you can wear your pride every day, all year long!
My AI-Free Promise
I am determined to bring you content and products that are thoughtful and sincere, that speak organically to the queer experience. As an artist in the digital age, it is my pledge to you that everything you will see on this website is created by my own hand.
With the exception of product specs provided by suppliers, I write all the copy on this site myself. And while my designs are created on Canva, the assets I use are paid for and arranged using my own skill, imagination, and experience.
NOTHING ON THIS SITE IS OR EVER WILL BE AI-GENERATED.
MONSTERS, ASSEMBLE
These prints are designed using Canva, and are designed to be compatible with all pride flags while looking fantastic all year long. Customization may be available upon request - contact me for details!
“Transcendence”
This design was inspired by the popular notion that because queerness is not ‘real’, then we are not real, and therefore above the law. And while we often say this jokingly, it’s hard to deny how hurtful it is to be disregarded and excluded. Of all the creature of myth and lore, the unicorn fit this idea the best for its nobility, impossible abilities, and global presence.

“Master Illusionist”
featured in aro pride
We have always been likened to the fair folk, in the way we exist on the fringes of society, defy convention, and supposedly steal children. And yet, most people would never know who or what we are from a passing glance. All we truly want is to live quietly, normally, and freely like anyone else. Invisible because we are only human like everyone else - not because we've been relegated to a fairy tale.
“Still Here”
featured in non-binary pride
Despite society's best attempts to erase queer communities, our own human nature compels us to carry on and continue to thrive. In this way, we are kindred spirits with many big cat species facing extinction at the hands of corporate greed. In this print, I chose the American jaguar to represent the resilience, fighting spirit, and refusal to fade away quietly that we share. We do exist, and we will continue to do so long into the future.
“Man Eater”
My core collection of mythical creatures couldn't be complete without a dragon, but deciding on a sharp quip for one turned out to be trickier than I expected. In the end, I couldn't help remembering the 'old' saying from the 2000s warning young adventurers not to meddle in their affiars, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup. What bigger, stronger, better creature to smash the patriarchy with?

You’ll find lions and eagles on more national flags than any other animal, and it’s no wonder. Their strength, regal aura, and place at the top of the food chain are qualities mankind has always admired. Combine the two and you get a mythical beast like no other. Throw in a light jab at the radical right, and there’s really no creature so queer as the mighty griffin.
“The Left”
featured in poly pride
“Unfathomable”
featured in gay pride
Mermaids exist in folklore around the world, equal parts enchanting and dangerous as the sea, itself. They also embody a curiosity that, when pursued, proves that we are not as different as we appear. We, too, are capable of reason and deep emotion, and not unfathomable as in, impossible to imagine - as in, limitless, able to reach beyond boarders and horizons, as we go with the flow.
