I make one inch buttons!

About Me

not a personal profile. not a business profile either. i don't know what I'm doing here except looking for more music to love.I now run Skeleton Key Tattoo on SE 18th & Hawthorne in Portland, OR. There are a total of five artists slinging ink there, including myself. Yeah, I still have a dayjob, but that won't be for long *evil laugh*!I also run Kittybot Buttons, fine purveyor of quality hip, stylish, practical, and awesome one inch buttons. I have minions of imps that live in my basement that help me with this cause. I like them. They obey Kittybot.
I want to make buttons for all my favorite bands in the world! And my favorite causes too! If I could quit my day job and make buttons for you, I would be happy.
Buttons are $0.23 each, no minimum order. Free shipping in the states. Overseas, please contact me for a quote.
Look at my unfinished website ! Marvel! Ooooh! Aaah! ok, maybe not... someday it will be closer to being done.
I've made buttons for bands, tattoo shops, coffee shops, PDX area non-profits, and random folk all over the world. My resume includes Loss (Spectre Records artist, owner of Inner Demons records), the [Law-Rah] Collective, Sleeping With The Earth, Nkondi, Urban Grind Coffee, Tiger Lily Tattoo, Circus Joy, DBPIT, KPSU, C/A/T, Conure, LoLo Labs, PTSMC, and more.
I dig music. Lots of it. Noise, experimental, avant-garde, beats, pops n' clicks, screams, strums, folksy stuff, hillbilly stuff, etc. Favorite musicians include Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Einstuerzende Neubauten, 16 Horsepower, John Fahey, 6 Organs of Admittance, Death In June, Haus Arafna, Morrissey... oh, too many to mention!
I go to as many shows as possible. I am trying to not let my ripe old age catch up to me.
