Enamel Pins Thread • Page 2

awesome, thank you!

 

Wow Midnight Dogs is fucking amazing.

 

Some new ones I recently picked up.

 

Yeah saw Bridgers open up for Conor Oberst. Never really listened to her music before, but was impressed - and by a read of the crowd could tell she has a tightknit following. Saw that pin at the merch table and thought that's awesome. I am seeing lots of pins at record shops, put yeah, good luck with your business. Looks like kitty is being a big help.

 

And I love reporting spam.

 

I still haven’t bought any ~real~ pins but I did buy some cute lil ones from five below lol. I’ll have to get pics

 

Oh wow I love this thread, later when I get home from work I will post some pics. I swear I buy jackets just to have a place to put my pins.

 

So here's one of my jackets. Has a theme as you can see. :) I love Japan and Japanese culture in general so these are some of my faves. The first is a group of cats gathered around a kotatsu eating a mikan (tangerine), which is a traditional activity in Japan during the winter, to come together with your family under the warmth of the kotatsu and eat the popular winter fruit. I got this pin at Kinokuniya in NYC.

The next is a ramen girl which my sister bought me; it was handmade in Seattle. I adore it as ramen is one of my favorite foods! The onigiri bunny is from Hot Topic.

The bubble tea drinking cat with an attitude was soooo cute to me, I had to have it; I got it at Kinokuniya in NYC.

The maneki neko I bought at Newbury Comics, and the cheeky pun Shiba Inu was a gift from a friend. :)

 

As seen on another jacket, a woman that needs no introduction. Bought this set at Newbury Comics.

 

Went to my first PAX East last year and got some Pinny Arcade pins to start up my collection. Hoping to add to that this year!!

 

How could I forget about this enamel pin? ;)

 

I have that one too haha

 

Same! We need a Chorus pin, @Jason Tate !

 

Hello,

I am not a pin collector myself but a visual artist I follow (for her drawings) has launched a fundraising campaign with enameled pins. Maybe you might be interested.

I love these designs. You've got my money. lol

 

Since you posted this, Bridgers and Oberst released that amazing Better Oblivion Community Center album. So good. I am like 60% into both artists' solo stuff and, together, they just both kick it up a notch for me. Probably my album of the year so far.

These are awesome, K0ta! I love anything that has cats on it, especially in that art style. I have an upcoming pin that involves a cat and that's checking off one of my pin creator bucket list items. I also dig the old school AP pin too. #highschooldays

 

Lol speaking of cats I actually took a pic of the pin I wore the other day
It’s from five below lmao

 

Ahh I love that one. Last Halloween my wife went out with friends to catch a live podcast and I realized that, for the first time in forever, I was home alone on Halloween, with no costume, just hanging with my two bad cats...and it was awesome. I should have been wearing that pin!

 

Been meaning to post all mine:

 

These are the two I rock on my denim jacket. One is a very limited edition Ramona Flowers pin, that came from a Mondo action figure order, the other is just a statement of fact.

 

The first is a pin that was a gift from a friend who knows me too well, the second is from a clothing company I adore called Wildfang. Can't tell you how often men have told me to "smile more" in my life so I love it :)

 

Yes BOCC album is fantastic. What's crazy about going to see them at that show in the Fall was their synergy on stage. They performed a few songs together. And I made a comment on my way home, they should do an album together. I willed it into existence.

 

I thank you kindly for willing it into being!

 

Hey guys,
Been looking at all the AWESOME, kick ass pins you've put on, they are brilliant!! I have just started collecting myself a couple of weeks ago and have just started up an online pin business myself. We've just dropped our first Pin, very excited about it. We've got loads of designs already down just trying to get them out there. Been looking for feed back, comments etc to see what people think. Would anybody on here be interested in helping us out? It would mean the world and be greatly appreciated. If any one is interested we are on instagram inspired.skull.pins and on ESTY.
