ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Sunny turned me onto this new site when she blogged about taking your designer toy art hobby onto the open road. I’d recently spied a car in my neighborhood all done up in Daleks, so I emailed the Infectious team for an invite code. Here’s what I learned:

• Infectious car art is designed for easy installation with just one or two people from a few minutes to a couple hours depending on the package.
• The art is durable enough to withstand extreme weather conditions (and car washes) for up to two years.
• The art can be removed easily with a hairdryer.
• The kits come in Icons ($27.99), Accents ($79-$119), Hood Pieces ($79-$145), Door Kits ($159), Side Kits ($159-$379) and Full Kits ($299)
• The range of artists involved currently includes: Dalek, Nico Berry, Junko Mizuno, Si Scott, Buff Monster, Emil Kozak, Jon Burgerman, MAD, Andy Harding, Cycle, Blaine Fontana, Zeptonn and Erik Otto
• The site features an exclusive interview with each artist including questions about cars, inspiration and music.

In less than 24 hours, Infectious goes live. Or in Infectious terminology the “Countdown to Car Art” is on. This Wednesday June 11 at Noon PST (8pm GMT) the pre-launch 20% discount on Infectious pricing will go away. This is your last chance to get amazing, eye poppin’ Infectious Car Art with a serious cash discount, so if you need to urban-up your Prius, email invitecode@infectious.com for advance access to the site.
