Leeclops Moodmat
A visored figure with a long purple ponytail and a flame coming out of the eye slot, die cut to the character on twelve inches of recycled rubber. UV reactive under a lamp, glow in the dark with the lights off, run of 150.
The Print
A Visor, a Ponytail, and a Hand on the Dial
Start at the top and work down. A long purple ponytail falls the length of the left side and a second purple lobe kicks up and to the right, both gathered at the crown by a small yellow band, with a zigzag tan fringe showing just above the eye line. The face is tan, mouth open in a snarl, red pink lips and four square white teeth. Across the eyes sits a wide yellow wraparound visor with a horizontal red slot cut through it, and out of the middle of that slot comes an orange and red flame with a white hot core, drawn dead straight rather than played for a laugh. A yellow gloved hand reaches up from below the frame and one finger rests on a round dial at the visor’s left temple. That hand is the only piece of narrative in the whole picture and it is what makes the flame read as deliberate rather than accidental.
Below the neck it is pure colour blocking. A blue torso, a yellow segmented shoulder harness, a matching armband, and then a flat horizontal cut across the chest that ends the composition. Five colours plus black and white is the entire palette, every fill is flat cel with no gradient and no halftone anywhere, and each one is bounded by a thick uniform black keyline in the way a cut vinyl sticker is built rather than the way an illustration is painted. There is no lettering on the printed face at all, no signature, no handle and no date. The keyline doubles as the border, so there is no bare rubber margin to speak of and the die runs just outside the black on every side.
The dark is where this one earns the price, and the two effects are worth keeping apart because people conflate them constantly. UV reactive means the ink answers a blacklight while the lamp is running. Here the yellows fire hardest and convert to bright neon green, the reds and oranges go hot magenta pink, taking the slot, the flame and the lips with them, and the purple hair and the blue torso both light to a strong electric blue, which collapses the difference between hair and uniform. The tan skin is the thing that goes dead. It loses its warmth entirely and sinks to a dark blue that is hard to separate from the torso, so the face nearly disappears under the lamp. Glow in the dark is a different pigment doing a different job, holding light and releasing it with everything switched off. With the room properly dark the yellows glow vivid green by a wide margin, the blue goes a dimmer teal green, and the purple hair is weakest of all, a dull grey green mass. The tan skin drops to pure black, and every red and orange area sits as a flat brown shape that does not glow at all. What you are left with is a floating visor and glove with a void where the face used to be, and that is the single most distinctive thing this print does.
Designed By
8bitonistickers
The maker’s product page credits this design to @8bitonistickers, and nothing further is claimed here. That handle reads as a single creator rather than a collective or a studio, which is why this row carries the Artist Series badge instead of a run number on the badge. The drawing backs the call up. One uniform keyline weight, flat cel fills, no gradient and no texture, built the way cut vinyl is built, and registration clean enough that every fill sits inside its own line. That is a style which survives being screen printed onto reclaimed rubber, which is not true of everything.

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.
A Run of One Hundred Fifty, and No Position in It
One hundred and fifty is the whole production for this design according to the maker. Nothing is inked on the printed face, we have no photograph of the back of one, and inventing a number in a run is not something we do, so the figure on this page is the size of the run and nothing more precise than that. One came in on our first wholesale order and one is what is on the shelf.
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.
UV Reactive and Glow in the Dark Are Two Different Things
One needs a 365nm or 395nm blacklight switched on and gives you shifted colour for as long as the lamp runs. The other needs the room properly dark and gives you a green afterimage that fades as the charge runs down. This print does both, which is genuinely uncommon, but they do not happen at the same time and neither one looks anything like the photo of the other. Leave it under room light or under the lamp for a while first if you want the glow to come up strong.
The Face Is the Part That Goes Dark
Better to know this before the lights go out than after. The tan skin does not react under UV and does not glow at all in the dark, so in both low light states the face reads as a hole between the parts that are still lit. Under the lamp it sinks into the same blue as the torso. With the lights off it goes pure black and the flame goes with it. Some people buy this mat for exactly that effect. Some people expect the whole thing to light up and are surprised. Now you are not.
These Are the Maker’s Photos For Now
All three images on this page, the normal light shot, the blacklight shot and the lights out shot, are the manufacturer’s product photography rather than pictures of a mat in our hands. They are all of the same unit in the same orientation, so read them as an accurate look at the print and at how it behaves, not as a picture of the exact sheet you will get. The rubber underneath is reclaimed scrap and the base speckle shifts from mat to mat. Our own photos are on the list.
