Quickstarter: 96 Pins For 96 Lives


For the start of the school year I decided to make some gun control enamel pins. Why?

Because in the town where I live, a middle school student made some very disturbing Instagram posts. One post included the caption, "It's time to take revenge against the popular kids at school."

If your child isn’t smart enough to know that posting these kinds of pictures and sentiments is a bad idea then he isn’t mature enough to be allowed around firearms.

Clearly we have a lot of work to do.

I am looking to make at least 96 - each representing the 96 lives lost to gun violence every day in America.  Kids and adults can display the pins on their backpacks, jackets, or bags as a symbol of their desire for stricter and more heavily enforced gun control laws.

The Wonder Women Project Returns

The Wonder Women Project is a series of collectible enamel pins celebrating amazing women and their accomplishments. These women are role models for people of any gender and should be recognized for their contributions to the world.

The goal of this latest campaign is to continue moving forward by completing a first set of pins to create more awareness about women and their accomplishments.

Learn about amazing female inventors, scholars, and more. Then share what you learn with the world.

Good role models inspire people to do good things.

Doing good things makes the world a better place.

Non_Functional AR-15

"Non_Functional AR-15" - Digital Sculpture (2018) (c) Jeremy Burnich

This AR-15 style rifle - the same type made infamous by the many mass shootings in America - has been made non-functional.

I originally conceived of this work as a sculpture soon after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting.

I was inspired by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd's sculpture "Non Violence." Reuterswärd said that his grief at the murders of John Lennon and Bob Crane inspired him to design this artwork.
