Month: June 2005

  • Medicom Toy Exhibition

    I’m a sucker for Bearbrick/Kubrick toys. Don’t think I’ll have time to check out this Medicom thing, but I have to say that charging 300 yen doesn’t sound right.

  • M&M

    What does Takashi Murakami do when he’s in NYC? He checks out Momus and Mai Ueda’s “I’ll Speak, You Sing” exhibition of course.
