// COLLABS

Illustrators & drops.One hand per run.

Stackdrip brings in one illustrator per drop — never the same voice twice while a waffle style is in rotation. The program is seasonal; the calls open when the next rotation is up to bat. Find the open window, the perks, who's drawn so far, and the apply funnel below.

// OPEN CALLS

What's open now.

The Brussels drop is up to bat. Send your portfolio between 2026-02-01 and 2026-02-21. Decisions land within two weeks of the call closing.

Drop 02

Call open · 2026-02-01 → 2026-02-21

Paid commission

// LOOKING FOR

Graphical waffles, not photographic ones. The screen needs to read at three meters.
Hand-set wordmarks strong enough to sit on the back print of a hoodie.
A studio line, not a one-off Dropbox link. Three comparable pieces beats one stunner.
A voice we can bring back later — never the same drop in a row, but across a rotation.

// DOESN'T LAND

Photoreal or AI-generated work. The screen burns under any texture we cannot proof in studio.
Drop-celebrity pitches that arrive with a Media Kit attached and a single AI concept image.
Trademarked characters, brand mascots, or anything that needs clearance before the press rolls.
Open-source typefaces standing in for an original wordmark.

// PERKS

What artists get.

Every commissioned illustrator is paid up-front, gets a kicker per garment, and ships with credit on the inside tag and on the studio press sheet.

// 01
Paid commission
Flat commission up-front, paid the day the file transfers to screen prep.
// 02
A percentage of the run
A kicker per garment sold from the drop, settled at the end of the run.
// 03
Name credit on every tag
Studio name + drop number printed on the inside neck tag of every printed piece.
// 04
Signature sample piece
A one-of-one hand-off piece from the studio hot off the press — keepsake from the run.
// 05
Press photo credit
Credit going on the run sheet pinned to the studio wall, and on the press recap that ships with the photos.

// SCOUTING

Stackdrip scouts for graphical waffles — bold, clean, food-as-icon energy. Hand-set typography, no AI traces, no third-party typefaces standing in for an illustrator's hand. One illustrator per drop, never the same voice twice while a waffle style is in rotation. Collabs are commissioned, not traded — every run is paid up front and the artist is credited by name on the inside tag and on the press recap.

// APPLY

Apply for next drop.

Send your work, the drop you'd draw for, and a link to your portfolio. We read every application on a rolling basis while the call is open.

Submissions land in the studio inbox tagged [COLLABS APPLICATION] so they stay separate from press and fan mail.
Two paragraphs beats a Media Kit — link to your strongest three pieces.
If the call is closed, drop your work in anyway — the next rotation will read the file when it opens.

// NEXT

On the next call list.

One email when the next illustration call opens — first read on the brief before it goes public, with the rotation details attached.
