One Too Many (by Ron Bryant)

All about Ron Bryant, founder of One Too Many

Ron Bryant has no qualms about baring details about his life and art to his fans. An easygoing, likeable kind of chap, Ron Bryant built his business upon a foundation of human relationships, coupled with a gifted dose of creativity.

From outside the established designer labels such as Chrome Hearts, Crazy Pig, SoulFetish, Nagual, Gaboratory and Room 101, a new creative force to reckon with has appeared. Creating sterling silver gothic jewelry designs which are just as intricate and gorgeously appealing as Chrome Hearts does is up-and-coming designer Ron Bryant.

Ron Bryant (aka DROPDEAD as some close friends know him), is a surprisingly down-to-earth guy who avoids creating sometimes pretentious hell-rider impressions about himself. Instead, he believes that his true personality and character will exhibit themselves strongly through his artworks.

Ron Bryant of ONE TOO MANY has always been pursuing art in some form or other, having dabbled in drawing, painting, designing t-shirts & skate boards. Ron Bryant’s adhoc involvement in art ended one day when his close friend spotted a complete tattoo set on sale at the Santa Cruz Swap Meet and persuaded Ron Bryant to grab it at what could only be described as a fortuitously huge discount. It had everything Ron Bryant needed to teach himself how to tattoo. Beginning with his own leg, Ron Bryant eventually became good enough to persuade most of his Santa Cruz buddies to let him draw his design on them. It was time to move on. Ron Bryant moved to Hollywood for a bit & finally Venice for a few chaotic and enjoyable years. Then, Ron Bryant took a long break from the tattoo world and spent few years chopping down trees...

Although Ron Bryant still tattoos for fun on occasion, it's all custom work and only for close friends. As far as leather and silver goes, Ron Bryant got into it seriously in 2003. Ron Bryant dabbled in it when he was younger (Ron Bryant still has a customized leather jacket that he made for himself back in his Santa Cruz days). But when Ron Bryant began working in the "art department" for a custom leather & silver company, he realized how his background in art, leather and silver worked together to make fantastic custom creations. After a couple of years as an employee, Ron Bryant decided to move on, take a leap of faith, and become his own boss. He started his company, which he named ONE TOO MANY. Instead of falling back on his tattooing (which would have been easy to do), Ron Bryant decided to plunge into the chaotic world of gothic jewelry. And today, his bet has paid off.
