420 Rule Moodmat
A mirrored neon scene with two green capped figures, an ornate downward sword and a field of faceted gems, printed on an eight inch octagon of recycled rubber. Dark Mountain Cult x Lukke Tattoo, hand numbered out of twenty five.
The Print
Two of Everything, Facing Inward
Start at the two figures. They are identical, mirrored left and right, facing inward: blond, with long pointed ears, in green tunics and long green caps. Out of the top of each cap bursts a cannabis nug with leaves around it. Each one is drawing on a green joint, and each outside fist is closed around an ornate golden sword hilt down at the bottom of the field, with a corked bottle of blue liquid standing beside it. They are drawn in a clean inked cartoon line with airbrush shading under it, which is a tattoo flash way of working and makes sense given who made this.
The centre line is where the piece is built. An ornate broadsword points straight down between them, its hilt winged and blue and carrying a triangle emblem, driven into a magenta and orange starburst with a pale mint drip running off the tip. Directly above the sword sits a black three triangle emblem with a feathered spread behind it. Higher still, against a hot pink and lavender gradient sky, 420 is set in chunky cracked stone block numerals in pale mint and white, big enough to read from across the room and the only lettering anywhere on the print.
Everything else is fill and there is a lot of it. Thick ropes of green smoke curl up both sides. Faceted gem shapes in blue, red, yellow, green and purple are scattered through the field. Small winged blue orbs sit out toward the edges and orange lightning bolts crack across the upper corners. The palette is saturated neon end to end with no quiet areas at all, and the whole thing sits inset on an eight sided cut rather than running off the edge. There is no UV in it. This is a straight full colour job and the density is the selling point rather than any lighting trick.
Designed By
Dark Mountain Cult x Lukke Tattoo
Both makers are printed on the back of the mat. One side carries a cluster of moths above its name, its handle and an invitation to trade, sell and collect, along with a pointer to its art group. The other carries a name lockup and handle underneath. Then an x, then the moodmats wordmark, then a number box inked in by hand out of twenty five. That is the whole of what the piece tells us about who made it, and it is enough to credit both properly. The inked line and airbrush shading are consistent with the tattoo flash background one half of that pairing comes with.

Made in New Jersey Since 2009
Rubber That Already Had a First Life
Moodmats started with scraps from old wetsuits and discarded scuba and surf neoprene, material that was headed straight for a landfill. That became Lava Rubber, and Lava Rubber is what every Moodmat is cut from. The feedstock now comes from wetsuits, gaskets, weatherstripping, seat molds, and other clean scrap that gets collected or donated. More than two tons of it moves through the New Jersey shop every month, gets pressed into sheet stock, then die-cut and screen printed. Keeping that material out of the ground has been the point from day one.
Closed-Cell Neoprene
Closed-cell rubber does not drink up what you spill on it. Water, reclaim, and terp splash sit on the surface instead of soaking in, so a wipe with soapy water puts it back to new.
It Stays Put
The rubber grips whatever it is sitting on and grips whatever you set on top. A rig that would skate across a glass table or a finished desk stops moving the second it lands on a Moodmat.
Tough and Self-Extinguishing
Heat resistant, self-extinguishing, and built out of material that already survived a first life. This is not a printed coaster that curls after a month on the table.
Where People Actually Put These
It Does Not Have to Hold a Rig
A Moodmat protects a surface and grips what sits on it. Whether that thing is a banger, a camera, or nothing at all is up to you. They are called Moodmats for a reason. Pick the one that matches how you feel and put it wherever it belongs.
Rig and Glass Pad
The job it was built for. Keeps glass off hard surfaces and keeps hard surfaces off your glass.
Display Surface
Figures, models, controllers, dice, cameras, watches. Anything worth setting on something intentional.
Wall Art
Plenty of these never touch a table. Hang it, frame it, or pin it behind the setup and let the print do the work.
Desk and Everyday
Trivet for hot pans, landing spot for keys, pad under a pet bowl, cushion on a camp table.
Why It Matters
Runs End. Prints Do Not Come Back.
Moodmats print in runs, and runs end. Once a design is out, it is out. Artist collabs and drop exclusives regularly land in quantities of ten to twenty five pieces, which is why the people who collect these track drops, trade them, and frame the ones they will never put a rig on. If this specific print matters to you, the time to grab it is while it is still on the shelf.
Twenty Five Made, and the Number Is Inked by Hand
Twenty five is the entire production for this design and the denominator is printed on the back of the mat, so the run size here is evidenced on the object rather than taken off a sheet. The figure above it is inked by hand, which is a person with a pen rather than a counter on a press. We quote the run and not the figure inside it, because there are two of these on our shelf and the number is different on each one. The back carries no drop line of any kind, so nothing on this page claims one.
No Reprints
Moodmats does not go back and run a sold-out design again. When this one is gone from our shelf and theirs, the only way to get it is from somebody who already has one.
Worth Hanging
A print this limited does not have to earn its keep under a rig. Plenty of these end up on a wall, in a frame, or stacked with the rest of a collection.

Wipe it down with warm water and a little dish soap, then let it air dry flat. That is the whole routine. Do not run it through a washing machine or a dryer, do not scrub the print with an abrasive pad, and do not rest a lit torch or a glowing-hot banger directly on the surface. Use a stand or a puck for anything still at temperature.
Straight Talk
Know Before You Buy
Upcycled Means Variation
The rubber is reclaimed scrap, so base color, speckle, and surface texture shift slightly from sheet to sheet. Two mats of the same design will not be photocopies of each other. That is how you know it is the real material and not virgin stock.
Heat Resistant, Not Heatproof
The rubber is self-extinguishing and handles warm gear without complaint. It is not a torch pad. Park anything still glowing on a proper stand or a quartz puck, not on the print.
No UV on This One
Standard ink, full color, no reactive application. A blacklight does nothing to it. The palette is bright enough that people assume otherwise, so it is worth saying plainly. Several Moodmats do light up under a lamp and this print is not among them.
The Number on the Back Varies
Two of these are on the shelf and each one is inked by hand with a different figure out of twenty five. We do not publish the number, and any figure visible in a photo on this page is not a promise about the one that ships to you. What we can tell you is the run size, which is printed on the back rather than taken off a spreadsheet, and that the numbering is done by hand.
A Lot of Drawing on a Small Mat
This is one of the densest prints we carry and it is on one of the smaller pieces, so the gems, the orbs and the smoke are genuinely small on the rubber. It rewards being looked at up close. It also has eight sides rather than four, which means slightly less usable surface than an eight inch square would give you. Worth knowing if you are measuring for a tray.
Set the Mood
Recycled rubber, made in the USA, printed with art worth looking at. Free shipping on orders over $75, and every order ships from a veteran-owned small business.
