WELCOME TO YEAR ZERO
Before the drops, there were drawings.
Before the drawings became a business, they were simply a way to imagine a sweeter world.
Now every character, cereal box, hoodie, and collectible carries a piece of that beginning.
The archive is open. You are early.

The origin file
FROM A DRAWING TO A TRUCK TO A UNIVERSE
Hi, I am Mellisa T Brown. Crave Happy began with drawings that had no idea they would become a business. Then came the memory of chasing an ice cream truck with Stacey while the neighborhood lined up for something sweet.
That memory gave the drawings a home. The ice cream truck became the first vehicle for a world built from original characters, childhood joy, and the belief that happiness should show up on purpose.
The hoodie is the doorway. The story is the point.
