Today's choice suits the Reaperwear T-shirt I'm wearing (the back is shown here). As a lover of sportbikes, I like Reaperwear's attitude to marketing (tagline: "For the deranged, by the deranged"), and completely agree with most of their sentiments on life, which often surprises people. Reaperwear appeals to my inner rebel, I suppose.
The aggressive nature of the shirt calls for a pin with edges - no cuddly curves, thank you very much. Spiky House has asymmetry, dimensionality, simple forms, and skewed perspective, all of which I like. The icing on the cake is delivered by the chair on the carpet beneath a silhouetted skyline (which works better against a darker shirt, obviously).
I'm not usually keen on yellow metals, but this use of brass with silver works for me. The pin's not signed, so I don't know who made it: but well done to him/her.

Ant- Enjoying the blog. Another question came to mind. Do you remove the pins when going through airport security? Being one of the people to inspire the birth of this blog does put a spring in my step.

Least favorite shirt with a great pin. I guess that evens things out... xox C.
Hi S,
I keep my pin on when going through security, although one pin prompted a guard to say "you're lucky you got through the scanner with that. What is it?"
I think the concept of being an oasis of fun in a desert of vice is completely lost on the TSA folks...
