Tiny Empire Made of Plastic
Well here it is, one, in a series of great big steps we’ll be taking over the coming months to bring you into the world of Scooter & Jinx. A world of designer toys, art and collectibles where the prevailing themes are sweet and sinister with a wicked sense of humor.
Scooter & Jinx is the product of a late night conversation that covered a flurry of stuff, from a love of all things Kozik to our aversion to the 9-5 grind. We connected all the dots in between and from there we cooked up a crazy little plan, so crazy it just might work.
Much of my career has been about helping musicians and artists find ways to bring their ideas to life and my partner in crime has a background in film, media and camera work.
We are both in close contact with our inner geek and this is our way of indulging that bit of ourselves which remains suspended in adolescence.
We’re design junkies and culture vultures influenced by all of the things you might expect: graffiti, design, music, film, fashion, video games, bad tv and absolutely everything wrong about the 80′s.
Which of us is which probably isn’t important, as a little bit of Scooter and Jinx lives in all of us…
While we’re working hard building our tiny empire we’ll be sure to let you know how it’s all taking shape. The website and shop is under construction and I can hear them hammering out code at break-neck speed in the next room, even as I write.
Here’s what we’re most excited about to date: our HQ, our home, our playhouse. It doesn’t look much with all the cupboards bare, but I promise you, piles of dunnies, munnies, labbits and qee-a few robots and some naughty little monsters will liven it right up.
We hope to kit the place out and fling open the doors to welcome you all sooner rather than later, and when the day comes- you’ll be the first to know.
In the mean time, we’ve got a few monster challenges to tackle, top of the list is how to magic the cash out of thin air to make it all happen, so watch this space. Be sure to come back, often, as this things picks up pace we’ll need someone to share all the exciting news with and when things aren’t going according to plan we’ll need well wishes and bright ideas, and you can leave those at info@scooterandjinx.com .
So for now you kids be good, take care and we’ll catch you in the next episode.
