Roll up, Roll up! It’s competition time! Up for grabs is this rather splendid looking 8″ red Baseman Dunny, kindly donated by Octane3.

To be in with a chance of winning, all we’re asking you to do is submit your photos of/or artwork depicting… the ‘abuse of vinyl’. This could simply be a little poke to your sweaty bearbrick(I’d like to see more though…), or a full on masacre of your Leonardo da Vinci 8″ custom egg qee! It’s upto you… just depends how much you want the prize!

You can submit as many entries as you like, and entries must be in by the 30th September. You can submit your photos/art in the Competition forum.

Wahey, thanks to Jay, Stu and of course myself… Vinyl Abuse was born (feet first) into this world on the 07 September 2005. He weighed 3lbs…

Anyhoo, thanks to this months interviewees Peskimo for their help and the banners they so kindly created for us! They rock, so go show them some love at www.peskimo.com

Thanks to those who have kindly donated reviews, graphics, interviews(Mr J Burgerman), articles, images and their time to vinyl abuse.

Thanks to all those who joined the forum, whilst the main site was still in Stu’s womb.

Quick request: Those who would like to continue the good vibe and wish to donate reviews or articles, then PM me and I’ll give you a big…. smile!

We’re also hoping to get some competitions up and running, so anyone who could help with those, it’d be much appreciated! We’ve already had support from the magical Tokyo Toy Store!

Lots of love and free vinyl to all! x x x

Prototype

Furry Girl by Dave Cooper

by Razzle on Sep 7, 2005 • No Comments

These initial clay sculpts of Dave Cooper’s new critterbox creation ‘Furry Girl’ look rather snazzy indeed! The sculpt was created by the uber talented Colin Batty who is also responsible for Dave Cooper’s ‘Eddy’ & ‘Pip’ and the Tim Biskup Helper, and many a stop-motion character including the upcoming Corpse Bride. These clay sculpts will be used to create the ‘Furry Girl’ statuette.

Furry Girl will come complete with a removeable bear suit, which will reveal little transparent underwear! woo! Naughty vinyl!

Have a heart…Give a T-Shirt a new home!

by Razzle on Sep 7, 2005 • No Comments

The T-Shirt club is an excellent concept, and something us Brit’s were in dying need of! A new t-shirt design will be released every few weeks. The first design is lovely, and comes from the mind of David and Jodie(aka Peskimo).

Each print is limited to just 60 prints, and are all hand numbered. From the preview, the print quality looks spot on!

The first batch should be ready for despatch next week, but preorders are being taken now.

In the next few weeks, expect designs from swam(aka tesselate) and mimic!

Doodlebug 2005

The streets, or should I say, windows of Manchester will no longer be the same! The windows of the Cornerhouse gallery/cinema are now packed with doodles, making it look like Christmas has come early!

The oh-so-busy Mike and Katie have been at it again! This time they’ve treated us to a 9ft high window display! Bootyful I say! If you’re in the area, then it’s well worth a visit, the walls of the Cornerhouse cafe are also crammed with art by locals such as Lynsey Casson.
