    There’s something I really like about this teaser poster for the live-adaptation of TETSUJIN 28 (also known as Gigantor in the North America), which comes out next Spring. The official site for the film also has a teaser trailer, but you don’t really see much. Update (16/08/23): The image is no longer available.

    And with these pics taken at the Parking 246 area, we end my series from this year’s October design events (which for me was mostly TDB and Swedish Style related). I wish I could have taken in more, but at the same time, I think I got my fill of design related happenings to keep…

    You’ll notice a new logo in the sidebar. I’ve always been a big fan of the Superfuture site, and as of now I’m writing reviews for them, as well as news bits. My first review, of Pause Cafe, is up. And a big public thanks to Wayne, co-creator of the site, for the excellent Superfuture…
