  • Christmas Illusion 2

    —

    , ,

    No, it’s not Christmas, but the following event sounds damn cool, and it’s a shame that I’m now entering crunch-time for a bunch of projects from now until I leave for my holidays to Canada (and NYC) at the end of the month. I’ll let Cat Jam‘s Channing explain it: Cat Jams Label release JAM-013…

    ,

    And while on the subject of sexy, you might want to check out a new photography exhibition by Katrin Paul, “Oh! Look I Am So Sexy!” I don’t have much info since everything is in Japanese/German, but it happens in Yokohama at TUV Rheinland Japan from July 22 to September 9, and it’s part of…

  • New Chisato Shinya Exhibition

    —

    ,

    I quite like the work of Chisato Shinya, and it’s nice to hear that she has a new exhibition coming up at the Soso Cafe (August 1-12) called “Andersen.” But my question is — why the hell doesn’t she have a show in Tokyo? I’d love to see her work up close.

  • Toy Saves Children

    —

    ,

    Combining toys and design for charity, “Toy Saves Children” sounds like just the kind of project that would interest readers of this site. One day when Tei Ryosuke, a creative director at FURI FURI Company, shouted “We gotta save children!”, this project came into the world. When they faced to the serious issue that how…

  • The Tokyization of Nick Ditmore

    —

    ,

    I’m late on this, but artist Nick Ditmore, a good friend of Yuki (you know, that Kissui.net chick who doesn’t like us fawning over her), has a show on at the Heartland Gallery until tomorrow (July 16). 1 Year / 1 Life documents a year spent working in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The artist, Nick…
