Welcome to my store!
For as long as I can remember music has been one of the most important parts of my life, spanning pretty much every genre, I'm closer to calling it a language than I am an art. If I'm not at a concert you can bet I'm listening to my new AOTY on repeat! Pair that up with my love for creating and designing and here we are, Poptriot!
The Process
The majority of the goodies here begin life with a 3D printer! All originally designed, PLA is my filament of choice for it's wide array of colours and it's ability to be recycled. I run a humble two printer setup out of my bedroom and have them running essentially 24/7. It comes with it's challenges and learning curves but I'm always up for it, and in terms of results, simply nothing else could produce the results I'm looking for!
I also put as much love into post processing than I do anything else, it varies a looot by item, the Go Go Boots for example? Heat gunned, sanded, and finished with a gloss to set for 24 hours. The street sign keyrings? Their smaller footprint make it easy for a standard keyring hole to crack it, therefore I blowtorch a hole and secure it with super glue to allow the body more room to breathe. Again, a lot of adjusting, and a lot of work but it's all in the final touch!
Poptriot
I've made myself random knick-knacks over the years and would always get asked "Hey! How'd you get that?", followed up with a "So, can I get one?". Of course I was always happy to! But word spread and next thing I knew people were willing to pay, so I thought, why not! Running my own business has always been a dream so why not take the opportunity to build one for something I love so much. Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the support, I couldn't of done any of this without you!
Having full control over the process from concept to design, to prototype, to creation , and marketing is such a closely held responsibility that I couldn't love any more, being able to really be that "by the fans, for the fans" is something I'll never be able to give up.
