Happy Sunday folks! Duct taped myself together and headed over to DIY/Funky Ferndale/Rust Belt to check out the festivities. I’ve got limited edition @garfieldscreens.bsky.social buttons, as well as buttons for your feelings on ICE, DIY Hipster Homecoming buttons and more. Come find me!! #buttons

Check out my new sheet of Garfield 1” pinback button designs!!! Major props to @garfieldscreens.bsky.social / @garfdude.com for the crystal clear screen caps that make this possible! #buttons

TOO LATE I GOT DRUNK AND GAVE IT ALL AWAY TOO BAD FOR YOU GOOD NIGHT

I’m giving you free plants and you aren’t hitting me up… disappointed…..

HELLO BLUESKY!!!! I am at DALLY IN THE ALLEY in Detroit for a minute, I’ve got TWO POTHOS STARTS left! Come find me, the man with the large dark beard with a brown backpack. Come claim these two, this is a BLUE SKY EXCLUSIVE!!! #dallyinthealley

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

You’re never gonna believe this but I am gonna post about some fun button shit soon I swear

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! #buttons #divebar

Did a reprint of my new favorite designs! I will be keeping the cork board at Urbanrest HQ in Ferndale stocked. If you’re local to SE MI and want some, porch pickup is available with donation, DM for deets! #buttons #fuckICE

Welcome to the neighborhood Little Ghost! Hope you enjoy the buttons! #buttons #ferndale

okay we will be back from an unexpected vacation next week some time. the button making machines (left arm/right arm) are fired back up. in other news, one of my og buttons made a trip to ICELAND (ty for the pic mel)

Gonna be launching the Playboy buttons for sale on here soon, stay tuned!!!!

You can find some of my pride buttons at URBANREST HQ in Ferndale Michigan if you so desire

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…..

also figured out why solid black colors weren't printing properly, stupid ass printer changed my paper type!!!!

my buddy had an idea for a button

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

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

boss makes a dollar, i make a dime. that's why i'm makin fuck ICE buttons on company time!

Also holy shit and piss, my anniversary is in like two weeks. It’ll be uhhh, four years now??? Good gosh that’s wild

I FINISHED THE PLAYBOY BUTTONS YESTERDAY!!!!!! FIVE PINT CONTAINERS FULL OF 1" AND 1.25" BUTTONS!!!! HOLY SHIT! I will be photographing and doing counts today before they go to their new home over at Tooth and Nail. More details once handed off!

I’m gonna drink like three beers tonight and look at all the Playboy buttons and say FUCK I GOTTA LIKE FIGURE OUT HOW TO DOCUMENT THIS SHIT

When the fuck did Hee Man show up in Garfield and Friends

Devil in my ear telling me to smoke his lettuce

All of the 1.25” buttons are done! Gonna catalog and count them tonight, will share some pictures. Should be getting the 1” buttons pressed and backed tomorrow. Wild that I was able to generate this much shit off ONE issue

there are gonna be HUNDREDS of 1.25" buttons. what have i done. good thing they are fucking incredible

It’s fun how the project I’m finishing is making buttons out of old Playboys featuring butts and breasts and cooters and such. And the next project I’m working on is coloring outlines for seniors to color in so I can make them lil mementos for their family’s. Proudly a land of contrasts

Well well well, look who’s being Mister Productive. First batch of Playboy buttons done, these were a lot of “concept” and collage pieces to see if I could get some ideas to work. Now we’re on to the easy ones! Stay tuned for more!! #buttons #vintage

So my only employee, Zoots, said we should get some child labor. Said that’s how the businessmen of yore succeeded. What the fuck is that dumbass talking about. She sleeps on the job, knocks shit over and is a general mess worse than myself. 0/10, ban child labor

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

i cannot do a singular thing at a time so i bought a brass stamp kit to put dumb shit on blank brass valve tags. WHY NOT!

stalled out on the playboy stuff because i rediscovered "gardening". couple more days and i'll start posting the initial pressings

So I finally started on this and my dumb ass chose the 1978 year in review issue and I’m gonna press probably 2-300+ off one issue. One issue will take me probably 4-6 hours to just cut out the art. Still gotta press em.

Me handing people “We REDACTED CEOs” buttons

WE ARE HERE!!! Come find me this weekend! My only employee is with me this weekend and we will party with you! Can’t wait to see my friends! #buttons #movementfestival #detroit

Alright y’all, I think I’m ready for Movement! Excited to bring some shit to hand out to my new and old friends. If you’re at Movement Festival in Detroit this weekend, hit me up and I’ll get you one of these!!! #buttons

i'm gonna press my other ones tomorrow and share. i emailed paxahau because i intend on bringing in an obnoxious amount of buttons, lets hope they acknowledge me! (they prolly won't)

in honor of movement i am making some cajmere/green velvet themed buttons. straight and to the point

I’m Odie in this equation

BUY THEM OR ILL DEINK EVERY BEER IN FERNDALE

Going to the vintage market at the Rust Belt Market in downtown Ferndale. I’ll be around town all night too. Come awkwardly say are you the Bluesky guy and I’ll give you a free button. Or buy some or donate for some or whatever I don’t care! A couple new designs too. It’s beers time o’clock!!

CURRENT CREATIONS ARE PAUSED DUE TO MARKET INSTABILITY (the market is my motivation/time)
