    TSiG blogger Jonas Mosesson created this beautiful image for the split tram advertisements between TSiG and Superlounge magazine. You can view a close-up of the two characters, with their “Havaianas flip flops […] Vinti Andrews shoes and Little Boulogue evening bag from Louis Vuitton” here. Update (16/08/21): The image is unfortunately no longer available.

    During one of my frequent Junkudo magazine reading sessions, I had a look at a newish design mag from Turkey called 34. I had a look at the second issue, and quite liked what I saw. I would have bought it if not for the high price (foreign magazines are insanely expensive here). 34 is…

    Yeah, yeah, another article on Kitano Takeshi, and ZATOICHI is like, so 2003, but I did like this bit: Hollywood movies are like Ford cars, they flood the marketplace,” he said. “But when you start to worry that they are going to take over everything, other trends start to develop. In Japan we are seeing…

    Architect Kawahara Kazuhiko, who goes by the name Palla, creates beautiful parallel images of pictures he takes in Osaka. He’s been mentioned here before, but if you haven’t already, check out his site for tons of beautiful imagery.

    Tokyo resident Audrey Fondecave acts as the editor of the culture magazine OK FRED (contrary to popular belief, it’s not just about music, as the last few issues have suggested), and is also an illustrator and photographer for the Slidelab group. On top of this, she works in fashion design, and has done various art…

DOTMOV Festival 2004, a competitive digital film festival launched last November, is now inviting submissions from throughout the world. The festival’s aim is to discover talented creators and provide them with an opportunity to show their work.…

    The following looks like it would be interesting, but unfortunately it’s not playing with English subs. Only five films in the short film category of the Cannes Film Festival received critical acclaim. Their degree of accomplishment was of course high, but that’s not all. Living up to all the pre-screening chatter, “First Film”, a montage…

    My new guilty pleasure right now is the single “I Sing, I Say” by Little. I rarely find anything interesting happening in the J-pop landscape these days, but there’s a nice breezy air to this that helps make the Summer heat just a bit more bearable (funny how music helps me fight the heat, but…
