MainframeHQ: The Birthplace of Seapunk

Founded in 2012 by Shan Beaste, MainframeHQ was at the forefront of the seapunk movement, blending 90s net art, neon aquatic visuals, and digital nostalgia. Kevin Heckart’s iconic dye-sublimation designs helped define the aesthetic, with Mainframe pioneering all-over-print t-shirts long before they hit the mainstream. Despite offers from major retailers, Mainframe remained independent, showcasing cutting-edge internet art.

Now, in 2024, we’re back—revitalized with exclusive 2.0 designs. This is more than a relaunch; it’s a celebration of the creativity that made us an icon. Hack the planet.
