ABOUT US 

PBU POP is a creator-first marketplace built from the ground up for artists, designers, writers, illustrators, and culture-builders who deserve more than the traditional platforms give them.
No gatekeeping. No middleman trying to take a cut of your passion. No watered-down creativity.

We put the people first, the culture first, and the passion first.
That’s the core of PBU — Point Blank University — a movement where creatives can learn, grow, collaborate, and push their craft forward. “POP” stands for everything we stand on: People Over Profit. Protect Our Passion. Promote Our People.

PBU POP is where underground creativity meets ownership.
Where artists control their work.
Where the community supports the community.

This isn’t Etsy.
This is our space.

HOW PBU POP WAS BORN

PBU POP started with one simple truth:
Independent creators deserve better.

We saw talented people — designers, comic artists, writers, streetwear creators, digital illustrators — pouring their soul into their craft only to have their work buried under corporate platforms, unfair fees, and systems that were never built for them.

So we built the platform we wished existed.
A place where creativity isn’t an algorithm.
Where culture isn’t a commodity.
Where passion isn’t exploited — it’s amplified.

PBU POP grew out of the Point Blank University philosophy:
Teach what you know. Build what you love. Share what you create. Empower the next one behind you.

Originally born from pop-ups and street-level grind, PBU POP evolved into a digital home for the creators who move the culture forward — the ones who don’t wait for permission, who don’t fit into boxes, and who create because it’s who they are.

Today, PBU POP is more than a shop.
It’s a movement, a platform, and a community dedicated to Protecting Our Passion and giving creators the tools, visibility, and respect they deserve.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Our mission is simple:

To empower independent creators by giving them ownership, visibility, and a community built on People Over Profit.

We aim to:

• Protect Our Passion by creating a platform where creativity is respected and protected.

• Promote Our People by uplifting emerging artists, writers, and designers.

• Push Our Potential by providing tools, knowledge, and opportunities for creators to grow.

• Build real community — not just a marketplace — where collaboration comes before competition.

• Champion culture in its rawest, most authentic form.

We believe the future of art, fashion, storytelling, and design belongs to the people who create it — not the platforms that profit from it.

PBU POP exists to make sure creators own their work, own their value, and own their future.

People Over Profit. Purpose Over Everything. Protect Our Passion.
