When my friend and I started Ofstingan, I wanted some bracers, but I couldn’t find any that fit exactly what we were looking for. We decided to make some for ourselves. So I went to my local leather store and picked up the supplies and went home and made my first piece–which I still use today when I play shows. Working with leather is badass and I want to give other artists the stage gear they want. I just enjoy the work and I like seeing my pieces in action, being used by some great artists like Xenomorph. I started making other stuff for my family, and now I make books and stuff too.
