Found in Translation by Ted Cahill
The innovative Japanese sneaker brand, Onitsuka Tiger teamed up with Ramp Industry to develop Found in Translation, a new website that went live earlier this month celebrating the latest designs and movements of Anglo-Japanese talent. The site's combination of audio, video, and animation, as well as special downloads that users can turn into their own customized pieces, makes it well worth a visit. Cultural pioneers on the site include sculptor Tomoaki Suzuki, punk inspired fashion designer Hiro, animator Hiroshi Kariya, girl drummer Akiko of Comanechi, and organic farmer Hiroyuki Suzuki, among others. The project will also have a life offline in multi-media installations at Onitsuka Tiger's London flagship store.

He has made them in silver as well as this resin composite, and has even enameled a few in pastel colors just for...

Tongari-kun ( Mr. Pointy )
I wish I could say "I'm so over Takashi Murakami!" Commercialization makes the world go round, but hasn't he taken it too far? Maybe. Maybe-not. The fact of the matter is that I continue to be delighted by the things he does. Tongari-kun ( Mr. Pointy ) is a 28 foot sculpture installed at Rockefeller Center Plaza thru October 2004. The ability for his...
