Everything in print on demand right now is either AI art or a scraped slogan. The one claim a machine cannot make is that a person drew it and can prove when.

So we did the boring version of that. On 2026-08-11 we wrote one hundred authorship records to public pages, one per serial, before a single shirt was sold. Each record carries the design, the serial, the date, the run, and a hash. The date cannot be moved afterward.

Read every record here: r.namebeam.ai

What it proves is the date. What it does not prove is anything else. It says nothing about how you got the shirt, nothing about whether the design is any good, and nothing about what it will be worth later. If a serial ever shows up twice, that is worth knowing, and the record is how you would find out.

No blockchain. None needed. A dated public page does the same job and anyone can read it for free.

Where this stands today, with no rounding. One hundred records live. Zero shirts sold. Updated 2026-08-11, later the same day: the store is now open at shop.namebeam.ai, payments cleared review, and it can take money. Two shirts are listed. The zero above is still zero and this page will carry that number whichever way it moves.

The shirt does not print a web address anywhere on it. A printed address is permanent and a domain is not, so the day an address changes every shirt already sold would be wrong forever. The address lives on the tag instead. Paper reprints in a day. The garment only carries what stays true.
