David LaPlantz’s artistic brooches are called “cartoonos roundos” because each piece tells a story similar to a cartoon panel. Punched from industrially painted aluminum sheets into 2” diameter circles, each hand fabricated piece begins with a sketch and is pierced, engraved and cold connected. The Ant Eater Brooch warns creeper crawlers to “watch out … the long tongue is coming.” David’s collectable brooches, which are reasonably priced and tell a unique story, are great for men and women.
