What is it? This pin is made from laser-cut pink plastic. Arthur Hash is famous for making simple silhouettes of dangerous objects out of pink plastic.Why is it cool? I could say something about feminine empowerment here, but come on, it's a pink chainsaw. How awesome is that walking contradiction? And i so do love a walking contradiction.
Where did you get it? At the American Craft Council show in Baltimore. It' s a great time, with some fun stuff. Hash was on lunch break, but his lady friend was happy to chat with me.
Can I get one? Sure! Arthur Hash has a shop right here on Etsy, but it doesn't have much. You just have to wait for the next Craft Council Show. In the meantime check out his homepage Here. It might crash your computer, though.
Extra opinion: Arthur Hash actually came to talk at my college. I found his playful attitude to art refreshing- he's made jewelry out of coffee stains, bubbles, and the omnipresent silhouettes (he was out of the pink machine guns :( ) It was a nice break from the way to serious people that were in my sculpture class that particular semester.
