FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

(World  7.21.11) – Announcing Cherry Vinyl – Delicious Art Toys

Cherry Vinyl is comprised of a small team of international dreamers with a huge passion for art, fun and all things awesome.  Our roots and resources span the globe: from the beaches of LA, through the sunny Sonoran Desert of Arizona, over to the busy streets of the Big Apple, across the oceans to Europe and landing in the heart of Japan.  By combining our existing strengths in artist outreach, sculpting, design, the highly detailed Japanese manufacturing & painting processes, creative and passionate marketing, and close customer contact, Pretty in Plastic & Lulubell Toys join forces to form “Cherry Vinyl”, an innovative joint creative entity with a focus on artist designed vinyl in a sofubi medium.  We intend to take all the best ingredients that exist in the vinyl world today, add a big scoop of innovation, stir in a ton of whimsy and fun, and what we will hand back to the vinyl community will be decadent creations for them to sink their teeth into, savor, and most of all enjoy! 

Have you ever had an awesome sundae that was full of a million different flavors? We are that delectable, fun, nostalgic treat, and far less fattening. Most people reach for the cherry on top first, because it's so unique, colorful, special & yummy. An amazing entry into something wonderful, Cherry Vinyl intends to leave you savoring your goodies and craving another serving!  We pick just the best ingredients from the most amazing artists. Lovingly, we carry each idea from image to form and serve it up to you, our discerning gourmands. Our goal is sweet and simple, make fun and get it to the masses. And know that each and every little treat we make for you, we hand craft our wears utilizing old techniques, modern equipment, blood, sweat, joy and a liberal splash of love.
