# Grinch-Like Speakers The Boombotix Artists Series is Designed by Global Graffiti Artists By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-11-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boombotix-artists-series References: [chipchick](http://www.chipchick.com/2012/11/boombotix-speakers-get-artists-series-makeover.html) & [boombotix](http://boombotix.com) A group of visionaries got their hands on the Boombots [portable speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormbox-mini) and let their imagine run wild to create the Boombotix Artists Series for the winter season. Boombotix recruited UberPop, DGPH and Sket One to put a [graffiti-inspired spin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutalist-speaker) on its ABS shelled speaker. The Boombot is already a sound amplifier with attitude. It is an interestingly shaped music player that uses [Bluetooth connectivity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-bluetooth-speaker1) as well as a wire and a rechargeable battery. Sket One from Los Angeles gave the speaker a Grinch grin, using the circular hardware into eyes. UberPop from London plastered her speaker with an explosion of graphics, linked together by colored wires. The Argententian DGPH designed three of the speakers for the Boombotix Artists Series. He turned the sound systems into various inquisitive creatures, decorated with animated skulls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Graffiti-inspired Tech:** Opportunity for other tech companies to collaborate with street artists for limited edition and collectable products. - **Personalized Portable Speakers:** Opportunity for personalized portable speakers to become more mainstream, with consumers looking for unique and customizable options. - **Artistic Collaborations:** Opportunity for other brands to collaborate with artists and designers for limited edition products that appeal to their target audience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can tap into the trend for personalized and artistic collaborations in designing unique and creative products. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion and apparel companies can collaborate with artists to create limited edition products that appeal to consumers looking for unique and expressive designs. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Advertising and marketing agencies can work with street artists to create campaigns that appeal to younger, more creative audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chromatic Style-Conscious Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boat-stone-1200f-speaker.md) - [Artwork-Covered Speaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-pebble-v3-artisan-edition-speakers.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md) - [Recycled Plastic Portable Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-plastic-portable-speakers.md) - [Recycled Waste Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomi.md) - [Bold Colorful Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t3-jepson.md) - [Luxe Compact Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-beats.md) - [Loud Oval-Structured Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicboom-speaker.md) - [Bear-Themed Audio Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinaro.md)
