Brian Carlisle, owner
GOING BACK OVER 25 YEARS, MY PROFESSIONAL GRAPHIC DESIGN BACKGROUND HAS BEEN THE CENTER OF MY EXPLORATION OF MANY AVENUES OF ART. IN 2010, I BROUGHT GADGETSPONGE INTO EXISTENCE AS A REPURPOSING AND UPCYCLING MACHINE CHURNING OUT CREATIONS WITH THE HEART OF SOUL OF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING FROM THE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE PAST AS ELEMENTS OF ITS MIXED BEING. IT STARTED WITH BIRDHOUSES AND QUICKLY JUMPED TO INCLUDE FURNITURE, LAMPS, AND MORE.
NOT LONG AGO, I WANTED TO INCORPORATE SOME OF MY DESIGNS ON APPAREL. AS ONE OF THE DIVISIONS OF GADGETSPONGE, YOU’LL SEE THE APPAREL DIVISION GROW AS TIME GOES ON AND PERMITS. CLOTHING WILL FEATURE THINGS THAT I ENJOY AND HOPEFULLY THINGS YOU ENJOY AS TIME GOES ON. IF YOU NEED A CUSTOM DESIGN, I’M YOUR GUY!
LASTLY, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A PEDDLER OF ALL THINGS OLD SO THAT WAS ALWAYS THE BONES I USED FOR MY GADGETSPONGE CREATIONS. I FOUND THE WORD RELICS TO FIT WELL WITH ALL THE THINGS I’VE FOUND AND SOLD OVER THE YEARS AND CONTINUE TO DO TO THIS DAY.
