# Recycled Vinyl Wall Art Extinct Creatures and Technology Collide in Jacksonville, Florida By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinyl-wall-art References: [jaxpublicart.blogspot](http://jaxpublicart.blogspot.com/) I'm a fan of graffiti, but I am now an even bigger fan of vinyl wall art. I used to think that the best use for [old vinyl records](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurala120a) was as Frisbees or impromptu plates. This vinyl wall art can be found in Jacksonville, Florida. The [fish and snakes on these walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures) can't be found anywhere anymore. Matching extinct animals with extinct technology is an interesting concept. It makes me think, in this ever-changing world, what will be next to go? Hopefully vinyl wall art won't go extinct for awhile. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Reuse of Materials:** Exploring innovative ways to repurpose old vinyl records through vinyl wall art. - **Nostalgic Design:** Creating a market for vintage-inspired decor by combining extinct creatures with obsolete technology. - **Environmental Consciousness:** Promoting sustainability and eco-friendly practices through the use of recycled vinyl for wall art. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunity to tap into the growing demand for unique and eco-friendly wall art made from repurposed materials. - **Home Decor:** Capitalizing on the trend of nostalgic design to create a market for vintage-inspired home decor items like vinyl wall art. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the manufacturing industry by incorporating recycled materials, such as vinyl records, into product design and production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Graffiti NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-wall-collection.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Vinyl-Filled Music Room Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinyl-house.md) - [Recycled Phonecase Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journey-to-rebirth.md) - [Multi-Sensory Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcadia-earth-toronto-benjamin-von-wong.md) - [Beachside NFT Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-restaurants.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Repurposed Vintage Apple Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repurposed-vintage-apple-computers.md) - [Hip-Hop-Influenced Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bric-house.md)
