Canvas Updates Creatives Listings

31210208365_42b7241f6b_b

As you’ve probably noticed, I’m a big fan of the Tokyo creatives community site Canvas, developed by my friend Mark McFarlane — and I daresay that PauseTalk played a small role in inspiring its creation (at least Mark was nice enough to say that). I like regularly going to the “Activity” page to see what projects people are sharing, and now they’ve just done a big redesign of the “Creatives” listing page, making it easier to get a quick taste of what each person does.

When the Night Comes

my_creation_by_sean_brecht__photographer_in_tokyo

One of the things I love about Tokyo is how you come across these interesting juxtapositions of old and modern. It’s usually why sci-fi settings that take inspiration from Tokyo (like Blade Runner) feel so interesting and alive. Photo by Sean Brecht, found on Canvas.

Soy Shape

screen-shot-2016-11-11-at-21-30-08

I really love this video that shows how my buddy Duncan Shotton is putting together his latest product, the limited edition Soy Shape dipping dishes. As you’ll see, one of the difficult aspects of the process is the packaging, which is done by hand by Duncan and his lovely wife (pictured). Found via Canvas.
