I've made a few patches in the past couple months. Here they are in order from first to latest...

This one is just a random piece of clipart someone uploaded as an emoji on a slack chat.


This is my roommate's "lifestyle" logo that I took and embroidered into a patch. He stitched it onto his backpack.


this one is a 100% original design. made for a friend who likes possums.


they're time consuming but I've always been into hand making stuff that takes a while. very relaxing and rewarding.

Hey guys! Been a long time. I've been living in Macedonia for the past year, and the other day my host dad gifted me some of his Yugoslavia-era pins from his collection. Thought I should share.

Pins I bought at Chicago Kyoto (Kyoto branch of the famous vintage store from Harajuku) for friends, including a skull pin for my trucker jacket, "MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT WALKS" for my econ major friend, "DRUNK AGAIN" for my bar-hopping friend, and "I (love) VIDEO POKER" for my video art friend.

Chicago Kyoto had a whole board of pins that I'm pretty sure are all from the 80's-- I also saw "AVAILABLE FOR WEEKENDS", "DON'T FUCK WITH MY REALITY", "EVERYONE HAS THEIR PRICE", "I (love) BEING #1", etc. A lot of ones about American veterans and confederate flags as well. I'll check out the pins they have in Tokyo when I go this week. Some pics under the cut.

Found this company called Pretty Bad Co through the Pin Community instagram. They have some cool stuff that speaks to my inner 8th grade emo kid.

feel like this is probably stolen from somewhere?

Turns out the Chapo Trap House logo is actually a real DEA mission patch, and not the only one of its type.

From a WP article...





Similar to the iconography that I know from pictures of soldiers in Vietnam, the patches reflect a kind of obscenity inherent in such boys clubs, perhaps necessary to cope with the absurdity of their task. Still there's a level of expression that belies the typical image of such an institution.
Nonetheless;

Aaron Malin is the director of research for Show-Me Cannabis, an organization working to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana in Missouri and a critic of Missouri's drug task forces. "When I first saw some of these patches, I didn't think they could be real," he said in an interview. "But after spending the last year and a half investigating the horrific ways in which the drug war is carried out, they don't seem inconsistent with the mindsets of the officers who wear them."

Damn the stuff you're all posting is sick.

I found these while visiting my parents' last week. They're all from when I was an edgelord 15 year old and hopefully I find some more next time I go back.

Does anyone have any good stickers or sticker purveyors.

Purchased from the Studio Ghibli museum in Tokyo a few years ago

made a few patches recently. bought a free motion foot for my sewing machine because I was getting too impatient to do everything by hand!

some friends and I have done some early morning hiking over the past year and we joked about getting patches, so I made some:



keeping in the tradition of only making patches for friends, I made this for RYAN. (a fellow fan of arthur russell - see spoiler for original art)

Spoiler:

I've got a lot of ideas but it seriously takes me forever to get off my ass and just make shit.

the applique on my pretzel hat was peeling so I made a new patch to cover it up. it's Kumamon, the mascot for the Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan. for this one, I used my sewing machine to do all of the black and then hand stitched the detail and edging.
