The artistic Black Hood View Brooch from David LaPlantz is a bold, modern brooch with a clean, architectural presence. Eminently collectable, the 2" round piece is hand fabricated from industrially painted aluminum and rubber, creating a striking contrast while keeping it lightweight and comfortable to wear. A single sterling silver rivet is a bright focal point, and the hydraulically formed shape adds dimension. Pierced and engraved details introduce texture and depth, while cold‑connected construction ensures durability and a crisp, refined finish. David calls his brooches “cartoonos roundos” because each piece tells a story similar to a cartoon panel in a newspaper. In this case, a sly “string puller” behind the scene mocks society. A similar version with slight variations can be made upon request.
"Under the dark hood the 'Pol, String Puller' surveyed the financial landscape looking for another way for easy, taxpayer funding. History has proven that the 'String Puller' has had tremendous success and why stop now, especially when things are going so well for the 1 or 2%? An evil, smirking laugh slides out of the side of his foaming mouth as he puffs his lungs full of putrid air..."
