Three colorful axolotl enamel pins illustrated in a cartoony "chibi" style. These characters are part of Evy Benita's character franchise: The Lotls. Each pin is decorated with organic floral elements, and comes with color matched rubber heard backers. These pins are coated with epoxy, which means the raised outlines have been covered by a flat overarching layer.

Why “Junkyard Jukebox”?

It began with a rather peculiar nighttime dream from me, Evy, where I took over a supermarket back in my hometown. I bought the building because it had a cool dome-shaped entrance, like a jukebox.

I felt super excited about running my own supermarket, but when groceries began to arrive, I realised I had forgotten to order in all the shelves, freezers, and fridges that are needed to keep food… Well, edible.

Enter chaos. To try and build myself some shelves, I shuffled all the groceries together into piles, and the food, naturally, started to rot and smell. As a result, people nicknamed my shop the “Junkyard Jukebox”.

This was right around the time when Alan and I had started talking about bundling our businesses together. I happened to mention the dream, and he found the name funny. We figured it can’t get worse than that, so we decided to take the name and give it a chance in the real world. And that is how Junkyard Jukebox came to be!
