Every day as I walk by our graphic designer, Dave's desk, I am greeted by a plethora of strange characters. He collects these bizarre but humorous designer toys known as urban vinyl, due to the fact I guess, that they are all made from vinyl. Some smoke, some have removable parts, some are just plain strange. What's even stranger, is that I can't help but smile every time I walk by and look at them.

Last week was his birthday, and he went downtown with Mike to get a few more for his collection. I'm thinking that if something this small can make people smile as they go past your desk, maybe I should start collecting some of my own.

p.s. If you are wondering where he gets them, here is the link to the Vancouver store called Voltage: http://voltageland.com/shop/
