Hey there, Funky Junk family!
We are so incredibly excited to share the next round of our creative journey with you…. We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring more of that special auction magic into your everyday wardrobe. If you’ve been following along, you know we love a good treasure hunt, and nothing beats the thrill of finding those unique vintage finds that just speak to your soul. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a weekend bargain hunter, our goal is always to bring a little bit of that "funky" spark into your life.
Summer is definitely here…. honestly! And while we’re all enjoying the sunshine, we thought it was the perfect time to drop Batch 2 of our custom t-shirt designs. These are playful, colorful, and celebrate the very things that make our online-only auctions so much fun. We’ve taken some of your favorite categories, like art glass, vintage treasures, collectibles, and oddball goodies, and turned them into whimsical watercolor-style characters that we think you’re going to absolutely adore.
So, let’s dive right in and meet the final Solid Six crew….
1. Collector Cat
Collector Cat is cool, curious, and definitely not above claiming the coziest treasure in the room. This little mascot has that perfect auction energy…. part hunter, part snuggler, and always ready to keep the best find for himself. Now he’s got an even more playful setup…. perched in a cardboard box with vintage treasures like keys, a watch, and a chest nearby, with the Funky Junk Auctions logo right on the side. With the top and bottom text pushed farther out, you get a cleaner, unobstructed look at the cat, the box, and all the fun treasure details. Hidden in plain sight, www.funkyjunkauctions.com is still tucked onto the collar tag as a fun little Easter egg.

2. Retro Robot
Retro Robot brings a little vintage sci-fi fun to the lineup…. all gears, charm, and collector instincts. In this updated version, he uses the exact Retro Robot artwork with the doll, comic book, and salt shaker, while 100% Artificial Intelligence is arched across the top and 0% Common Sense stays at the very bottom for that clean wide-margin layout. Per your request, there is no company logo included.
Tagline: "100% Artificial Intelligence. 0% Common Sense."
3. Squirrel of Treasures
Squirrel of Treasures is exactly the kind of mascot we understand around here…. always gathering, always stashing, always convinced one more special find is a great idea. In this refined version, the same steampunk squirrel holding the golden acorn keeps the wide-margin layout, with Hoard now, arched across the top and ask questions later…. placed at the very bottom. Per your request, there is no company logo on the artwork, and the URL on the golden acorn is spelled exactly as www.funkyjunkauctions.com.
Tagline: "Hoard now, ask questions later…."
4. Vintage Camera
Vintage Camera has serious old-school cool…. a little artsy, a little nostalgic, and now even more fun in this updated wide-margin setup. We kept the company logo off the design, arched Before 'Delete' across the top, placed was an option at the very bottom, and gave the central artwork lots of breathing room. We also kept www.funkyjunkauctions.com subtly hidden on the rim of the lens so it still feels like a clever little Easter egg instead of a big obvious label.
Tagline: "Before 'Delete' was an option"
5. Crow King
Crow King looks even more proud in this updated wide-margin version…. surrounded by his favorite found goodies and standing there like every odd little treasure is part of a very serious investment strategy. We kept the company logo off the design, gave the artwork more breathing room, arched It's Not Junk— across the top, and placed It's My Retirement Plan. at the bottom. The hidden www.funkyjunkauctions.com Easter egg now sits on the treasure tag like a sneaky little royal detail.
Tagline: "It's Not Junk— It's My Retirement Plan."
6. Art Glass Octopus
If you’ve ever browsed our listings, you know we have a serious soft spot for beautiful, glowing glass. From mid-century modern pieces to those intricate paperweights that look like tiny worlds captured in crystal…. there’s just something mesmerizing about it.
Our Art Glass Octopus now feels even more at home…. swimming naturally above the ocean floor and clutching four awesome art glass treasures like a paperweight, a vase, a glass fish, and a sculptural bowl. The wide-margin layout gives the artwork more breathing room, arches A sucker for— across the top, places treasures. at the very bottom, and keeps the company logos out of the design completely. We also tucked www.funkyjunkauctions.com subtly into the sand on the ocean floor as a fun little hidden detail.
Tagline: "A sucker for treasures."
Why We Love These Designs….
We wanted these shirts to be more than just merchandise. We wanted them to tell a story about the community we’ve built here at Funky Junk Auctions. Every time you place a bid, you’re part of a tradition of giving new life to old things. You’re finding beauty in the "funky" and the "junk," and turning it into a treasure.
These designs celebrate the diversity of what we offer…. jewelry, vintage comics, toys, books, sports cards, antiques, collector cards, art glass, fine china, and so much more. We see the excitement in your eyes (and your bids!) when a special item hits the block, and we wanted to capture that joy in a way you can wear.
