Vinyl Destination

A friend and gamer Simon (or PsyM0nkey as he is affectionately known) likes, nay, loves vinyl toys. Simon has been keen on the vinyl toy scene since early 2008 and I’ve had a few chats with him about a project close to his heart. I was extremely happy when he told me it was slowly (but surely) being realized, and now I’m delighted to tell you that he has opened up a new online store dedicated to these awesome designer toys.

Calling it Vinyl Destination, Simon not only stocks vinyl toys from local designer KRONK, but a range of toy art from overseas including the latest Dunny Fatale series, the Lunartik in a Tea Cup range, and Joe Ledbetter figures.

To celebrate the store launch, Vinyl Destination is running a competition where you can stand a chance to win some great prizes – a Lunartik Tea Cup signed by Matt J0nes, limited edition Coarse Jaws key-chains, and vouchers for the store. Find the competition details after the jump.

Urban Art: The Aquarium Phone Booth

How cool is this? Artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino transformed a mundane, unused telephone booth into a fantastic aquarium. The artists stated:

With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically coloured fish; an invitation to escape and travel.
