I Dream A Vending Machine.

Why buy candy from a vending machine when you can get some dope art instead.

From Zapp’s Chips, to Speed starting Keanu Reeves. Lucid Vending machines contain a variety of goodies.

Some of the items come in from out of state, so be on the look out for rare finds.

Kayla Cox and Chance Ryan brought the “Lucid Vending “ concept to the Tampa Bay Area about a year ago, with their first machine “Flower Maiden” making her debut in Studios at 5663. Unlike regular vending machines “Lucid Vending” has their machines stocked with local art, abstract items, some vintage pieces, as well as my late night go to “Zapp’s Voodoo chips”. Each machine is custom painted to be the perfect pair for any brick and mortar location easily adapting into the vibe of the location, with the goal of building revenue for local businesses and artists.

The “Flower Maiden” machine is located at 5663 Park Blvd.

A few of the artists featured in the machine have studios at the location. The first featured artist is John Gascot brings his “Latin Pop” flavor to the machine with these earrings, perfectly capturing his esthetic.

These earrings designed by John Gascot are now available in the “Flower Maiden” machine.

Loy the next artist featured in the “Flower Maiden” machine is all about the Feng Shui vibes. Loy’s work is all about the aura her pieces give off.

This Hip-Hop Buddha is one of my favorite pieces from Loy.

The “Mothership” vending machine is looking for a home.

At the Lucid Vending is looking to put their second machine the “Mothership” in a local brick and mortar location. The machine is no cost and they even pay rent, as well as give your business free promotion for hosting the machine. Be on the look out for a huge collab between Jit Camp and Paradise Pin Co. on some dope NBA2TAMPABAY pins making their way onto the “Mothership” soon.
