Years of working with Rusty have inspired him to create his own jewelry line, the Oscars Mini-Monsters. Oscar has also made custom pieces for artists at Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Image Comics, and musicians like the Deftones, Vanilla Ice, Fishbone, Soulfly, and others. Oscar likes to create new and interesting designs, and his goal is to change the way people see jewelry by making fun, textural and substantial pieces that people don’t just wear but actually connect to, what he likes to call “animated jewelry”®. Oscar also has a deep appreciation for his mexikan-anahuak ancestry and culture, and celebrates it often through his artwork.
