I saw my friends donate at least $20, in total, to Freedom House tonight. I’ve got good community and better yet, good homies. I know it ain’t much but material to donation ratio here is unheard of

Oi you, hit up the Lady next time you're in Ham Town, you will not regret it!

Visited one of my favorite haunts, The Painted Lady Lounge aka Hamtramck’s best bar. I also turned buttons into beer, like some kind of hipster button Jesus. Next time you stop in at Painted Lady, take a selfie, send it to me and I’ll get you buttons. That’s the Bootleg Guarantee!

Just handed off about 750 buttons to one of our besties over at Tooth & Nail Oddities in Ferndale, Michigan! I’ll share more deets once they are available for sale. Next two batches will have a Bluesky presale…..

my buddy had an idea for a button
June 26, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Gave out over one hundred buttons that said abolish, fuck or deport ICE. ICE can suck my unwashed ass as far as I’m concerned

Now that I got all that bullshit posted I’m gonna get drunk off Guinness and walk my ass home when the time comes

My Latest Project: January 1978 Playboy, Year In Sex edition, deconstructed into buttons. 310 1” pinbacks and 247 1.25” buttons. Each of these buttons is handmade by myself, they can never be truly recreated. More deets in the comments, these will be for sale at Rust Belt Market in Ferndale!

God damn I wish I could do drafts here

310 1" pinback buttons and 247 1.25" buttons made from an end-of-the-year 1978 playboy. they are incredible and i am very proud of them. i will share soon
June 19, 2025 at 5:08 PM
alright, i am gonna ask the bluesky collective. what do you think the best way to photograph 1" and 1.25" buttons? the mylar covers pick up light like crazy and documenting the playboy buttons gets exhausting
