Handcrafted by Doctor Gus
Three-Dimensional Philosopher
Doctor Gus
I call myself a “Three Dimensional Philosopher” because it encapsulates what Doctor Gus Designs is all about. It represents my unique creative perspective. The synthesis of Art and Lifestyle, coupled with an extra layer of exuberance. The juxtaposition of rigid crisp detail alongside a whimsical subject that elevates the whole.
I want each piece to tell a story, and each person to hear a different tale.
- Gustav Karlson
Handcrafted
Original Designs
Our original designs are inspired by historical and fantasy motifs. Art, accessories, jewelry, and props. Made from solid metal, often incorporating antique components and found objects. Suitable for all adventurers, for cosplay and everyday.
Whether you're a Time Traveller, Pirate, or Faerie, Doctor Gus has you covered!
Made in the USA
Artisan Quality
Every single piece from Doctor Gus Designs is lovingly crafted by hand inside our Pensylvania workshop. From designing to sculpting to casting to finished product.
We do it all.
That’s what gives each piece the unmistakable Doctor Gus touch. Every item tells it’s story. The tool marks being the chronicle of its creation.
Attention to detail
One of a Kind
Lovingly made in the USA from the finest materials. I am a craftsman who would never offer you something I would not be proud to wear myself.
You invest so much in your costumes and outfits. And you deserve the absolute best in accessories from Doctor Gus Designs.
It all started with a cart
On the Road
Our handcrafted products deserved a special display. Using wood from our old chicken coop, a peddler's cart was built. It served us well for many years rolling around different festivals.
Unique is what we seek
Bazaar is What We Are
Eventually we outgrew the little carts and wagons. It was time for an upgrade. You can now find our traveling bazaar popping up at festivals around the country.
