Forged for the beautifully damned.
One-of-one sculpture, hand-welded by a man who spent twenty years on stage before he ever picked up a torch. No editions. No reproductions. No apologies.
From the Whiskey to the forge.
Two decades holding down the low end in Hollywood, at the Viper Room, the Roxy, and the Whiskey, plus four summers of Warped Tour will teach you one thing: an audience can feel the difference between something made and something manufactured.
Dillinger builds sculpture the way he played bass. Loud, physical, and without a safety net. Every piece is cut, bent, and welded by his own hands: raw steel persuaded into thorns, brambles, and branches, then blackened and sealed like an old secret.
Working between Hollywood and Laguna Beach, he builds for the rooms his people actually live in: recording studios, stage sets, and homes that were never going to hang a print from a hotel lobby.
Steel that grew thorns.

Each sculpture is built once, signed, and never repeated. When it leaves the shop, the design dies with it.
Three acts. No encore.
The Conversation
Call, text, or write. Tell him about the room, the tour, the record, the obsession. Every piece starts as a story before it becomes steel.
The Fire
Dillinger cuts, bends, and welds the piece himself in Hollywood or Laguna Beach, wherever the piece is born. You get photos from the forge as it takes shape, sparks included.
The Installation
White-glove delivery and placement, wherever the piece is meant to live: studio, stage, or the house on the hill.
Let’s make something wicked.
Commissions are taken personally and built one at a time. If you want a piece that no one else on earth will ever own, start here.
