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. Every Wednesday, you can head to the bottom of this article for an exclusive discount code so you can keep your pin game sharp.Two of my favorite pins, designed for us by @dedleg 20% off with code SUMMER

Pin Museum
Wow, thanks a lot, Pin Museum. I was going to try to make a Picasso blue period pin but you did it first, and you nailed it. Your previous stuff was pretty cool, but this takes the cake. That’s right, folks, pins are indeed tiny art. If you were to buy something like this even from a museum gift shop it would cost $100. Pin Museum is literally bringing art to the masses.$10.00 here.A photo posted by Pin Museum (@pinmuseum) on Jul 18, 2016 at 9:29am PDT
Pinlord/Poni
Everyone has tough days, right? Some days are tougher than others. Some days send you regressing to infantilism, rolling around your room in the fetal position. Everyone does that a few times a week, right? Right, guys? Yeah, of course they do. It’s normal. This pin collab from Pinlord and Poni helps you remind others of your emotional fragility and self-deprecating sense of humor. It’s practically made for Jewish boys like me. Grabbing one for me and each of my friends.A photo posted by Pin Lord (@pinlord) on Jul 18, 2016 at 5:01pm PDT

Overmind
Some pins grab your attention because they reference pop cultural symbols. Others draw you in because of their lewd humor or their visual punnery dad jokes. This pin is just plain good. It’s beautifully designed and super elegant. I want to wear one of these everywhere and I probably will. This sort of design is the reason I find this community so inspiring. Thanks, Overmind.$10.00 here.Celestica glow. Available online at overmind.co

Joe King
This isn’t a new pin but it was recently restocked. Joe King is one of the finest artists in the game. He’s tackled everything from farting cats to pen-knives to PBR cans sliced by switchblades. His style is impeccable and every time I see one of his designs I know exactly who it is. Then I spend $10 acquiring the pin or patch in question. Whether you’re new to the pin game or a seasoned veteran, I highly suggest checking out Joe’s other pieces.$9.00 here.A photo posted by Joe King (@joekingart) on Jun 25, 2016 at 12:07pm PDT
Move in Silence Co.
I’m super white so it took me until age 23 to discover the wonders of Tapatio. For the past few months I’ve been dousing just about every meal with the stuff. Despite the fact that my kidneys are probably failing and my stomach lining deteriorating, I feel more youthful and flavorful than ever. I’ll buy this pin and wear it around to proclaim my loyalty to the greatest salsa mankind has yet produced.A photo posted by MOVE IN SILENCE (@moveinsilenceco) on Jul 13, 2016 at 7:09pm PDT
