    The Shift Blog has just posted all the winning works for their “Mobile Art Competition.” I just wish they would have put up a QR barcode to easily access the mobile site that lets you download the works (and having a bilingual mobile page would be nice too).

    I see Graniph is throwing some love Canada’s way with this latest tee. It doesn’t make much sense though — it’s a random mix of provinces and capital cities, with my province of New Brunswick the only thing written in French — and they even misspelled Toronto. Ouch!

    Earlier today I stopped by the Nanzuka Underground gallery in Shibuya to have a look at Alexander Gelman‘s “Little Black” exhibition (until March 4). I unfortunately missed the opening last week, which was followed by an after-party at Soft that included, among others, Gelman as DJ.
