The Portland Pins Project was created in 2009 by Bryan Bruchman (HillyTown) and Kris Johnsen (Emblem Studio) in Portland, Maine.

We ask local artists to submit their own hand-made designs for 1inch buttons, then we mix the end results all up in a gumball machine so people could buy great, unique artwork. Our current locations are in Portland, Maine at Find and Eli-Phant. This website is a place for us to showcase all of the art as well as interesting pin ideas.
