  • Theater Flyer Collection Exhibition

    —

    ,

    The “Theater Flyer Collection Exhibition,” which I mentioned in a post last week, is ending this week, and I’m posting the TAB entry as a reminder that you should really catch this if you haven’t already. It’s an amazing collection of graphic work, and don’t let a lack of interest in the theater stop you.…

  • This Week in Magazines

    —

    This month’s SWITCH (October) is their 20th anniversary issue, and at the same time acts as a fashion issue. Coverboy Masaharu Fukuyama gets a lot of coverage inside, appearing in a few articles (fashion spreads, profiles). Fans of Chiaki Kuriyama might want to check out the issue, as she also appears in a fashion piece.…

  • Maku Remu

    Although I’ve yet to meet him in meatspace (even though he doesn’t live that far from my place), David Macklem has been a longtime reader and we keep in touch. I updated you a while back on the work he did for Knee High Media’s relaunched website, and his latest site is for the independent…

  • The World Chico

    , ,

    Ken Mizutani, noticing that I tend to mention tees here a lot (still waiting for my Threadless order to come in), recently contacted me to talk about his UK-based online store/label called The World Chico. More than just a store featuring cool t-shirts, they also started an exhibition project that sounds interesting. Here’s more from…

  • We Love Katamari!

    —

    ,

    The one good thing about being stuck at home because of the flu is that you don’t have to feel guilty when you spend a couple of hours playing WE LOVE KATAMARI! What an absolutely beautiful blend of colorful pop graphics, simple yet addictive gameplay, and probably the best soundtrack ever to grace a game.…

  • Relax, Man

    ,

    Momus follows-up yesterday’s post on DAZED & CONFUSED with a look at RELAX. He also mentions the Japanese edition of DAZED & CONFUSED, on which I’d like to comment, but like him, it’s not a magazine I follow.
