Inside the Forge: More About GVC

The Story Behind the Lead Viking Of GVC..⚓❤️‍🩹

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always sketching something — cars, skulls, graffiti, punk‑style art, tattoo ideas. I loved anything with wheels, especially 1:64 scale cars and motorcycles. Skating took over most of my teenage years until a bad car accident forced me to quit, but the art never left. I always kept a sketchbook close.

After turning 18, life took a hard turn. I made some stupid choices that led to felony charges, and eventually, prison. In total, I spent about five years locked up — in and out from ages 20 to 27. But that time became the forge that reshaped me.

Inside, I found purpose in art again. I spent months drawing portraits, doing calligraphy, designing tattoos, and even building things out of popsicle sticks. I worked as a Dementia Patient Orderly for 14 months, taking care of older inmates who couldn’t care for themselves. I met good people. I learned patience. I learned discipline. And I learned that art was more than a hobby — it was survival.

When I got out in 2024, I tried the regular jobs a felon can get — fast food, factory work, restaurant gigs. None of it felt right. But my love for mini cars came back strong. In a year, I collected over a thousand pieces — chases, treasure hunts, old school stuff from the 70s and 80s. I bought, sold, traded, and started making real money with it.

Then I bought a Cricut. Started making vinyls. Started building dioramas. Started mixing everything I loved — art, cars, woodwork, graffiti, Norse mythology, and the Viking identity I carry. (Yes — the helmet and ram horn tattoo on my head came from prison too.)

That’s when it clicked:Why not combine everything I’m good at and build a brand out of it?

And so, Georgey’s Viking Craft Co. was born.

Now I’m two years out, still grinding, still building, still growing this thing into something that can support me and my girlfriend, Kim. I want to meet more collectors, make more badass art, build more customs, and eventually create my own castings — my own line of cars with my art and other artists’ designs.

There’s a lot more to my story, but if you stick with us on this journey, you’ll learn all about my weird ass. I love meeting new people, swapping stories, checking out collections, and showing off the vault. If you ever want to talk cars, art, customs, or want something made —hit me up, friend. Ahoot!
