Central Oddities emerged in 2022, founded by Ivan Pavlovich—artist, craftsman, and the mind behind Muscleman Farms, a self-sufficient farm and home gym tucked away in Styvasant, NY. Ivan’s creative instincts were shaped by his fashion studies at the Art Institute of New York City. Over the years, he’s become a familiar face at the Hudson and Kingston farmers markets, where he showcases handcrafted goods and surreal curiosities. A skilled handyman and antique mover, Ivan sources many of our upcycled materials from the historic town of Hudson. His work is rooted in a belief that each person holds the power to shape their own reality. Ivan lives that truth—transforming dreams into tangible art and enriching the lives of those around him through grit, vision, and imagination.
