Phenomenal art work and artists. Prices may be higher than you anticipate on some of the more intricate pieces, but the time and passion in the work here is truly special.
The detailing to his art and the support he gives to local artists is awesome.His magnets are cool and he is happy to make original custom magnets for an individual. Bring in a photo, trinket or small keepsake and he will happily make your custom magnet for a reasonable fee.Ask to him about art classes, so you can learn too.
I have purchased pieces from Jeff for many years. He exhibits at many of the fairs and venues I attend throughout the year all over the Twin Cities, but I also see him at his store in Calhoun Square.His work is whimsical, unique, nostalgic and easily recognizable. I can usually find something to get my Disney or Star Wars fix, or I can ask Jeff and hell go looking around until he finds something for me. However, Ive also purchased other fun treasures like the Banana Splits to Dairy Queen and Calhoun Square. Thats the reason I have so many for my own, but have also given them as gifts.Each little piece of art is made with love. On the back of each magnet is the name, Jeffs signature and the number of the magnet made. Yes, he keeps track of all his work! On the front of each magnet since the tragedy of 9/11, Jeff has included a small symbol of a dove. Its such a nice and special touch to his work.And speaking of work, visit him in his store in Calhoun Square. Youll see some other works of his and his friends that is just amazing.To top it all off, Jeffs customer service is top-notch. He consistently provides great service to me, but I see he provides it to anyone visiting his booth or store. Here are just a few of the many, many magnets Ive purchased from Jeff.
Magnetics is the type of place that keeps you in awe upon entry and captivated from start to finish. Jeff is talented, ambitious, and above all a true artist. Meticulous detail, striving for perfection, and all those small details lost in mass marketed rivals. Please visit him you wont regret it. He is the last of a dying breed and lets keep the dreamers, originals, and risk takers thriving. They deserve it and it makes our world richer with them in it♡
Amazing store! And lots more than just magnets. Jeff the Magnet Guy is pretty well known for his classic Uptown themed magnets and also has one of the best collections of original art by local artists in the area. Hes been in Calhoun Square for over 20 years. Anyways, super nice guy and great place to find fun gifts.
The most unique store in Calhoun Square. Uptowns longest lasting artist. One of a kind handmade local gift items!
Jeff is great.
