Bob Lutman Pins is a one-person studio in Tennessee, run by a middle-school English teacher and father who designs enamel pins late in the evenings after lesson planning. Every pin is sketched, refined, packed, and shipped by hand. If you’ve received one of my pins, it went through my hands personally — never a warehouse.
My first design — the blue pixel wizard — started as an inside joke with college friends after a reunion in Galveston, TX in November 2024. The wizard holds a shiny ship’s wheel, a coded reference to a spot we visited on Crystal Beach. When the pins arrived, I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve designed and produced more than fifty pins. Nearly forty are available here, and several others were custom pieces for local musicians, artisans, and corporate groups. Most of my early sales came through Etsy and eBay, where I’m still active. On Etsy, I’ve shipped over 380 orders and received 110 reviews — all perfect 5-stars — thanks to lightning-fast, next-day shipping.
I’m excited to keep bringing new designs to the shop and I’m always happy to answer questions or discuss custom pin projects.
With gratitude,
— Bob
