Description: Fans of retro toys, retrotech and the proto-pixelated bright light toy the Lite Brite- show off your vintage nostalgia factor as you explain that to draw a picture in 1973 you had to shove fixed-color pixel pegs through a screen and black paper to rig up glowing images that are put to shame by today's iPhone. I mean seriously- can you believe we've come this far? 80s/70s toys. (Newer versions of the toy have a different and frankly lame peg design. )
Description: Still here. Still functional. Just... not being used anymore. Like a building with no occupants. A machine that still runs but never gets turned on. You have the capacity. You have the ability. But no one's calling on you. No one's needing you. No one's finding a use for what you can do. So you sit. Waiting. Still operational. But out of use.
Description: A retro-style circular emblem featuring a celestial body resembling Pluto, depicted in muted tones of grey and brown. Above it, the word 'PLUTO' is written in a distressed, off-white font with a beige outline. Surrounding the emblem are retro sunset stripes in shades of red, orange, yellow, and teal. Below the emblem, the years '1930 - 2006' are displayed in a similar distressed style, followed by 'NEVER FORGET' in bold, yellow lettering.
Description: Finally, a museum for every obsolete charger, mystery key, broken remote and takeaway menu you’ve somehow carried through three house moves. This completely fictional St Kilda institution celebrates the possessions too useless to keep, yet apparently too historically significant to throw away. Wear it proudly while insisting that your enormous box of unidentified cables will definitely come in handy one day. Fun fact: the first commercially available television remote, released in 1950, was connected to the TV by a cable, creating two future museum exhibits at once.

Description: With a technical, pen-and-ink style, drawn freehand in blue, the illustration captures the complexity and industrial nature of a classic computer setup. The monitor, stacked CPU units, peripherals, and keyboard are rendered with incredible precision, while a dense, almost chaotic network of cables and connectors snakes through them. The title, "Analog Chaos System," perfectly reflects the overwhelming architectural complexity and intricate hand-drawn details that give this early technology a captivating, mechanical presence, often lacking in sleek, modern design.
Description: A bold dystopian design featuring the phrase “AI Making Humans Obsolete Since 2020” paired with a striking skull made of circuit board patterns glowing with neon blue eyes. The artwork blends cyberpunk aesthetics, sci-fi horror, and digital takeover themes. Perfect for fans of futuristic satire, dark humor, and tech-inspired skull art with a sharp and edgy message.
Description: OBsOlEtE_ is a droid that was created by a company to help humans. Due to decades of hard work and accumulated combat damage, it has been known to display some malfunctioning characteristics. Even though OBsOlEtE_ is considered to be incredibly intelligent, even among other sentient AIs, its "personality ticks" coupled with the amalgamation of recycled parts and accumulated 'chop-shop' body upgrades, led to the humans it protects to lovingly bestow it with the moniker 'Obsolete'.
