Velvet Verbosity’s Etsy Find of the Week - Toilet Graphics

Dude. I don’t know about you, but I find this bicycle toilet decal to be WAY better than the usual fluffy, flowery, gaudy or just plain stooopid toilet adornments that have been the status quo for FAR too long.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that toilet art is dead. No. No. Far from it. Some people are quite active in their County Fair’s toilet decoration contest.

Even the tank itself was patented for it’s aesthetically pleasing encasing of the vulgar inner workings.

But, as you’ve come to rely on Velvet Verbosity to bring you only the best and ultra-hip of Etsy (oh, you know you have!), I have delivered. In the words of Vital (the artists behind the decal) (no, NOT in the tank pictured here fool):

Through critical thought, art and design are integrated into all aspects of life. These values are layered into an aesthetic that is at once urban and rural.

Long Live Toilet Graphics!

** Disclaimer - All items from Etsy that I choose to feature here are of my own finding. They are things I like, not things I will get a kickback on or a free gift of. No one has approached me asking me to review their product. Most importantly, I don’t always BUY these items (what, you think this blog is making me any MONEY?) This is just me, doing my part and sharing a little bit of what’s worth finding on the world WIDE web. No animals were harmed in the writing of this review, but a whole bunch of tea leaves were boiled and consumed.

    Just found you via Bossy. First of all, love your name. ;) Second of all, love your Etsy finds and am bookmarking this site so I’ll know what to buy this Christmas. You are making this really easy for me.

    Vital - Thanks for stopping by!

    Velveteen (wow, it’s the comment thread of the V-names), love your name too, of course :). Just a heads up, some Etsy finds if you go back to will be gone as they are sometimes one-time items, though I do try to choose ones that aren’t as likely to disappear.

    Anyway, happy to have you visiting and happy you like my Etsy picks. I’m going to be damn jealous if you get the Lotus shade before me though!

    When did you start saying “dude”? I’ve found myself using it on occasion (though I think only in writing, not in speech) and took that as a sign that no one else in the country was using it any longer.

    num-num,

    Dude! I guess about three months ago. I never used it back when it was popular. I looked down on it back then. But I figure now that I’m a redhead, I can get away with anything.

    That is pretty cool. I would put something like that on my toilet.

    Neil, far better than those rugs posing as toilet tank covers eh?
