the carbon based mistake: ​​zines & books & photography & writing & blasphemy & art & design &...

​needles & Pins

Not only is the carbon based mistake jumping on the practically dead corpse of the enamel pin craze (what's next, patches?) with a selection of all-new full-color enamel pins for your ugly-ass jean jacket, but we also have those subversive 1.25" buttons that everyone likes more than my zines! Nothing is better than a 1.25 inch button. Don’t let those hipsters and their hip 1 inch buttons tell you differently. It’s almost impossible to fit a ton of tiny type on a stupid 1 inch button. You need room to stretch out and wiggle around. Here are all the old favorites, back again in limited edition white on black.

Burning Baby (Enamel Pin)

2.5"H x 1"W

Anti-Overpopulation message? Hell-Baby connotations? Distaste for the young and innocent? Just a cool design that's kinda creepy?

Whatever the reason was that I first drew this damned kid, I like it enough to have kept it around for 15 years. Now, having spent time in the fiery cauldron of enamel: the child rises!

Wear this to a nursery school and keep the brats at bay.
$8.00 Each

These are made by hand and have white text on black backgrounds, no other choice… just like all things that limit you in life, you’ll just have to deal with it.

​With choices like: "Life is exciting and glamorous, just not for me", "I will beat you like Jesus", and "At home I'm not allowed to touch myself, so I have to do it here", how can you possible go wrong? All profits go back into making more stupid buttons for your jean jacket.
