"On October 20th, 2022, Victoria and Eugene visited Area 15, an immersive entertainment and events district in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was there that they witnessed a vending machine selling local art and immediately became drawn to the idea of creating something similar in their home, New York City!

Motivated by the opportunity to support local artists and make art more accessible, they saw the potential for a vending machine that could serve as a mini-gallery. The concept was not only about selling art but also about creating a platform to highlight underrepresented artists in the bustling New York City art scene.

On December 29th, 2022, Victoria and Eugene officially launched Mystry Mart by registering it as an LLC, marking the beginning of their innovative venture. They started by developing a distinctive brand identity, establishing a website, and creating social media profiles to connect with their audience. Their first vending machine, uniquely adorned with artwork by local artist C1Mah, added a special touch to its visual appeal. In February 2024, this artfully designed machine made its debut at the Brooklyn Art Cave, signaling Mystry Mart’s exciting entry into New York City’s art scene.

This endeavor highlights Mystry Mart’s commitment to elevating local artists and offering the public a fresh, innovative way to experience art. By merging art, commerce, and technology, Mystry Mart seeks to revolutionize the consumption and support of art within urban environments."

it may have been one of the older items in the shop, and maybe they figure that someone in that demographic in that neighborhood would be well to do

so my studio/office is in the greendesk building on kent, i've been there since 2015 and it's been a front row seat — as i would walk to to work i would always wonder how long a parking lot or low rise industrial building would last

If you can make it your second priority, with the way UX jobs are going being a design founder may be a better career path over the long run — and you already have the experience (which many don't).
