About New Thought Threads

We are CK and Elli Mackie — a husband and wife team, and this store is personal.

CK is an international award-winning illustrator who draws because something in him has to. Every design here started as a hand-drawn original — no AI, no clipart, no stock art. Just a pen, a subject he cares about, and the time it takes to get it right. The Musashi piece came from a 3am moment when the philosophy hit differently. That's what you're wearing when you wear one of these shirts.

Elli is Native American, and the concept of Hózhó — the Indigenous philosophy of beauty as harmony, balance, and right relationship — runs underneath everything we make. The idea that what you carry closest to you should reflect who you are, or who you're choosing to become. That's not a marketing line. It's how we live.

Together we build toward one thing: that moment when someone sees a design and thinks "that's exactly me."

We print on Bella Canvas — premium, ethically made blanks worth wearing. Every shirt is made to order through Printify and ships directly to you.

Our niches are the things that matter to us: BJJ and martial arts. Marathon running. Stoic and warrior philosophy. Native American art and tradition. The RE-LOVE-UTION. Bigfoot believers. Dr. Joe's consciousness community. More coming — always from the same place.

"Made with intention. Worn the same way."
