Though it began as a hobby, Gangbusters grew until I was distributing handmade jewelry to outlets in and out of my home state of Georgia. The keystone of the line was that everything was created from reclaimed or repurposed materials (comics, games, plumbing materials, bullet casings, etc.), unified by a casual, sometimes whimsical aesthetic. In 2013, I made the decision to shutter this project indefinitely (but hopefully not forever) in order to devote more time to family.
