Nerdpins is the creation of Joe VanDyke, a Florida man who created Nerdpins in downtown Los Angeles in 2016. He spent 7 years running the brand in LA, and has since relocated back home to Jacksonville, FL. Joe has an extensive background in arts and music, having spent all of his 20's playing and touring in punk and hardcore bands, and organizing large group artshows around FL. Nerdpins is not limited to one specific style, but an umbrella that allows Joe to make and pursue anything he feels like creating. The pins are designed by him, some paying homage to music/movies/art that he is a fanboy of, others being original ideas and images of his own. Nothing is off limits for Nerdpins, whether it be thought provoking and provocative, or simple and amusing.
