We’re refocusing our entire company to help support independent artists and small businesses who are hurting the most right now.”, says Jake Nickell, Threadless Founder & CEO. “We’re excited to see Archie Comics develop this amazing line of merch for their fans. I’m loving the Tarot card designs!” The partnership dovetails with an expanded effort by Threadless to promote and support its network of independent artists who may be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, many of whom rely in part on the company“s wide-reaching ecommerce platform for income. The new Community Action Plan includes a significant increase in earnings for artists of up to 60%, via reduction in base apparel fees through May 31.
