As the founder of Strike Gently Co , I deal in pins and patches daily. The Creators Project asked me to pull together a weekly roundup of the best newly-released pins. Most of these will probably sell out. If you like them, smash that “add to cart” button.

It’s hard to find any pro-America memorabilia that doesn’t involve tacky fonts, debatably ironic guns, or generally low-hanging fruit. But why? We live in a wonderful place and should be proud of our better qualities—and ready to throw our dukes up for ’em just like lady liberty.
$8.00 here.
PSA Press
While we’re on the topic of distinctly American inventions, let’s talk about CRUSHING DEBT. PSA Press hasn’t released a bad pin yet, so hopefully they’re either A.) Debt-free or B.) Paying off those heady art school loans faster than I can misspell “Baldessari.” They deserve to be in the green.
$9.00 here.
No Hours
While we’re on the topic of ART HISTORY… (All of these are segueing beautifully.) This pin is a millennial hipster’s (me) wet dream. It’s got art, it’s got Romanticism, it’s got religious parody and, yes that’s right folks, it’s got dick jokes. What more could you ask for?
$10.00 here.
Inner Decay
Inner Decay recently teamed up with the all-female co-working space project The Wing to release these pins of some badass gals. I’ve been a member of many a unisex co-working spaces and, let me tell you, they’re filled with smug business grads yelling on their Airpods to their ‘investors’ (read: oil fortune-bearing aunts and uncles) about how they need more “startup capital” (read: cocaine money). I’m fully in favor of all-female co-working spaces, even (read: especially) if I’m not allowed in.
$10.00 ea here.
BONUS: Brat Box
So this isn’t a pin release, per se, but there aren’t that many specialty products in the pin game, so I figured I’d highlight one of the finest. Brat Box is a pin and patch subscription service that works with dozens of quality brands and artists. Unless you’re 11 years old, you’re probably not an Instagram Pro. That means you miss a lot of stuff you’d probably love but can’t find thanks to the fast-paced nature of memes. Brat Box saves time by shipping you a themed box every month. It’s cheap, too. Cheap enough to make me wish I had thought of the idea first. Happy spending.
Ok, that’s it. Go check out my shop: www.strikegently.co.
