# Magnetic Graffiti Northern California Couple Creates Flexible Magnet Art By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-02-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-graffiti References: [magneticgraffiti](http://www.magneticgraffiti.com) & [gomendo](http://www.gomendo.com/showrecord.asp?id=595) Caroline and Michael Norris create their trademarked, ‘Magnetic Graffiti’ from their solar powered “corporate headquarters” - a converted barn on a former cattle ranch in California. The [magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-wall-mount) are printed with non-toxic inks and dyes, and all magnet scrap is donated to schools. The Mendocino farm from which Magnetic Graffiti is made has been mostly returned to a wildlife habitat. The Norris family hosts visitors and volunteers from around the world who come to learn more about sustainable living. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Art:** Magnetic Graffiti showcases the potential for sustainability in the art industry by using solar power and non-toxic materials. - **Flexible Magnets:** The use of flexible magnets in Magnetic Graffiti presents an opportunity for innovation in industries such as advertising and decoration. - **Community Engagement:** The involvement of visitors and volunteers in the Magnetic Graffiti farm highlights the trend of community engagement in sustainable initiatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The Magnetic Graffiti concept opens up new possibilities for sustainable art practices and eco-friendly materials. - **Advertising:** The use of flexible magnets in Magnetic Graffiti can be applied to create innovative advertising campaigns that can be easily customized and reused. - **Sustainable Tourism:** The Magnetic Graffiti farm serves as a unique destination for eco-conscious tourists, showcasing the potential for sustainable tourism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Wooden Sculpture Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-sculpture.md) - [Magnetic Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnecraft.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Magnetic Building Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magna-tiles-1.md) - [Magnetic Building Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magna-tiles.md) - [Seasonally Themed Magnetic Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-toy.md) - [Customizable Marketing Postcards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress.md) - [Vibrant Custom Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cliik.md) - [Origami-Inspired Playful Magnetic Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trido.md)
