Default What is this pick?

I found this pick on a music stand and would like to buy more. Does anybody know what it is?
Disregard the image printed on it, the other half of which is on the back. According to Tin Eye, it's not pleasant. I expect the pick is available plain.
The pick is a little larger than the usual, is extremely thin and flexible, with raised dots on both sides. I like the way it feels, but don't want to be using it and getting used to it if I can't find more.

There's a company called Cool Music who have made large triangles with moulded bumps like that. I don't know if they offer custom printed batches, but that seems like a possibility.

I tried a Google reverse image search, and nothing came up that was particularly close.

It looks like a standard 346 pick but I haven't seen any with those raised bumps online.

Thanks for their link. They have a dealer nearby. I showed the pick to Guitar Center and they said they had nothing like it.

I've never seen one either. Which begs the question.

How would it be possible that a pick was designed, manufactured, distributed, sold, used and then lost and not a single member of this forum has ever seen it before?

Boggles the mind...

So, what did Tin Eye say about the image printed on it? That information might actually provide a clue about who manufactured it, and where to get one plain.

That is a dickbutt pick.

If you're easily offended, you may not want to google dickbutt

The image is a line drawing, like the front, and there are several variations on it online. None are very different and no big deal. It doesn't help identify the pick and isn't worth the time to look up.

I wonder if it's come from somewhere that's more a supplier of printed novelty gift items than a music retailer, somewhere different than we'd usually look for picks from.

To be honest, I was not sure what was printed on the two sides of the pick, and not until I used Tin Eye did I see the whole image and see mention of it on Reddit. And only now after a previous post did I google "dick butt". When I google dick butt guitar pick, I see a similar pick in white with a complete drawing on one side. So someone is making the pick and others are decorating it. I would just like to find the undecorated picks.

This Cats Tongue pick by Cool Music might have the texture of my pick, and tomorrow I am going to a shop that supposedly sells Cool picks.
