    The new issue of SHIFT (112) is up, featuring a cover interview with Null*, a design project by Artless (Shun Kawakami). It’s work that I really like, and I so wish I could take in the exhibition at SOSO in Sapporo (starting today) — they had a show in Tokyo last September, but I didn’t…

    I went to see Nao Suzuki‘s photography show today, “3+5+6+8,” at Gallery Omotesando (ended today). There are a few more pics on my Flickr account. I love the way she arranged the pictures.

    When I was at the ANDTOY store recently to take pictures for my recent Kubrick/Be@rbrick article, I picked up this little guy. I can see him becoming the mascot for the next edition of Canadian Style!

    I love this idea of movie editing, “Movie Cards,” described in this PingMag piece. (And yes, I know I’m pointing a lot to PingMag these days, but I keep finding their articles so interesting, hence the reason I wanted to write for them.)

    Sure, we’ve seen the Super Mario Bros. theme song played on guitar before, but this guy doing it on two guitars is pretty damn cool.

    You absolutely need to go here, and have a look at the trailer for new film from Mamoru Oshii (GHOST IN THE SHELL), TACHIGUISHI RETSUDEN (FAST FOOD BANDITS). It’s animated, but it’s not what you think (more like digital manipulation), and it looks amazing. Oh, and it features ramen prominently, so come on, you know…
