"A hand engraver touches his work with unique, artistic precision. To feel the etched lines links you to the abstract notion that art is alive. It is to be touched as well as seen."

   I pride myself in one-of-a-kind personalized craftsmanship using my original artwork. No lasers, no computers, no assembly lines.
     Every commissioned piece is a delightful challenge. I love the discipline and concentration it takes to engrave my art into a piece that means a lot to my customers. I want you to see that focus and feel the passion. I want you to be more than 100% satisfied. That is value for you and I know then that my art is in good hands.
     And, if you need me to monogram, duplicate or restore existing pieces, my artistic abilities and master training will give you the highest precision quality available.

Sometimes you simply want to say “this is mine!” Other times, you want to express what you feel so others can hear what’s in your thoughts.  Or what’s in your heart.  My technique, training, skill and talent as a craftsman and artisan lets me help you express what you really want to say.
“Anyone who says you can’t see a thought, simply doesn’t know art.” – Wynetta Ann Reynoldt

bio John Hise
Ever since I can remember I wanted to do something creative with my libiofe. From high school and majoring in art ‘til now, I am motivated by a calling. A passion. This life infatuation was born from the medium of hand engraving, and honed by the discipline I learned from martial arts.

This commissioned piece was very important to my client. So, while I created the outward appearance, he gave it inner significance. Isn’t that the true aim of commissioned art?

Rocky's Custom Collars
...and more

Ginger, my wife does leather engraving.

Together, we design personalized dog collars, as well as other custom engraved leather work and "bling" for dogs. Our dog, Rocky, gets a lot of the benefit from our ideas. It's fun to see him respond to collar "modeling"...he's got a gift, I'm not the only one taking orders anymore.

Rocky is wearing his big bad spike collar here.
