Designer Vinyl has arrived in Denmark with the opening of Dunny Show CPH this past Wednesday (08.02.06) in Copenhagen at Galleri AsbÆk. 24 Danish artists (primarily graphic designers) created custom 20-inch Dunnys including toy creator, Kenn Munk, who provided us with these pics. Ken sent some info on standout pieces including the camouflage dunny complete with video camera used to display images against a wall through a linked projector. In addition, two artists show to recast the Dunnies in bronze and another embedded a diamond in a Dunny’s back side. Apparently, the buyer of the bling Dunny proposed to his GF on the spot after dropping $7500 on the piece. Looks like a really swanky event to get things really rolling on the designer vinyl tip in Denmark.
Btw, I thought we’d give the very slick Lightbox 2 viewer a whirl. Opinions?
I see you!
and so does everyone else 😉
Whoa…
I like that you’re trying something new, but i prefer just pop up images.
If it had next and previous buttons, I think you could rock it.
it does have previous/next — try moving the mouse over the image — left should reveal a prev button and right next. You can also use “p” and “n”
I think both the dunny’s from CPH and your twirl on the viewer ROCK. Nice twist. Keep up the good work with Vinyl Pulse and inject my brain and vision with a daily boost of Vinyl Vitamin.
Søren Kjær, the very nice dude organizing the show wanted me to let you know – if you have the money and are willing to part with it – that the “shop” section of the Dunny Show CPH site is now open.

i like the old picture viewing from before and is it just me or do the majority of the dunnys from that show kinda…well…ummm…suck???…the KR dunny show in NY pwns that show hardcore…
Where is Kenn’s in those photos? Did I miss it?
I like the new viewer system.. Slick and faster than before..
I didn’t send in a pic of my own, I figured I’d try to be a bit objective for a change.
Here’s me taking a photo of Hummel’s shoe designer taking a picture of mine:

Next and previous buttons would make this new feature rock. I like the idea.
man, that show had some killer dunnys!
On the subject of LB, you have to make sure EVERY thumbnail loads first on the site, for some reason it loads the LB js last, so, if all thumbs aren’t loaded, the script wont work. Just a heads up.
love the new viewer. keep it!
Thanks for the feedback — we’ll probably use a mix of lightbox and the old popup style for now. I’m also going to experiment with popups that support previous/next.
I usually like to set some of your toy images as backgrounds for my computer, and the new lightbox system prevents that (unless I just haven’t figured it out yet). So I would vote for the old pop-up style… Keep up the good work!
I agree! I like the pop up window style. The lightbox viewer munipulates my screen and now I can’t uninstall it. Any Suggestions?
