Recently the good people at HSC (Hester Street Collaborative) asked me to come and be a guest judge for their Senior design project. The kids were asked to design a t-shirt based off a social message they wanted to address. It was such an awesome experience. These kids not only have to come up with the concept for the design, they also have to design it and then they get to learn how to silkscreen it as well. (Their first time for everything!) I tried to add my 2 cents in terms of design, execution and process…these guys offer a bright future for American design. Big ups to the HSC!

I totally fell in love with these illustrations. I’ve seen my share of creative parodies when it comes to Marvel comics characters. However, this by far is some of the best twists added to our favorite superheroes!

We stare at our computers everyday and at some point some things gotta change. For me an icon change is always welcome stray from the daily monotony. While searching for a good icon for my new hard drive I discovered these nike gems… Nike Dunk Icons and Nike Air Force 1 Icons authored by Kidaubis. Sadly the Pigeon Dunk was not in the mix if your reading this… we need a Pigeon Dunk icon!

One of the best reads for someone in the creative world–whether it is fashion, graphic arts, architecture, interiors or film. This book will rock your world and your senses.
Personally, it opened my eyes to the way colors interact and influence each other’s appearance. For example, think of your most favorite colorways on sneakers: some combinations work well and others don’t.

So as Moqs already posted, it’s been a little over 3 months since the huge earthquake hit northern Japan.
The nuclear power plants are still leaking radiation, many survivors of the earthquakes and tsunami as well as those evacuating from the power plants are still without proper housing, about 80% of the debris are still left as is and Japan is expected to be short of power this summer.
Even in the Tokyo metropolitan area, we are seeing effects of radiation and power shortages. Where I live, there were scheduled blackouts for about 4 weeks after 3.11. The blackouts have ceased since, but we’re all expected to save energy as much as possible.
Stores and offices are contributing by minimizing light fixtures and setting the AC temperature a few degrees higher than usual, so in most places you go it seems a little bit dimmer and feels a little bit warmer – not at all a discomfort when thinking about the people in the north.
I’m also seeing a lot of what are called “green curtains” or “green shades” on shops and houses. These green curtains are usually made of plants such as cucumbers, gourds and morning glory that grow stems and vines on nets so that they cover the windows. The idea is to block the sunlight with these plants to keep rooms cool without the use of air conditioners. This has been going on since a few summers ago when we were experiencing some record-breaking heat waves and now that we’re trying to cut down on power so we won’t have to have blackouts over the summer, more people are doing it.
There seems to be a movement that they’re naming “Plant to Plant” which refers to the act of switching from the use of power plants to growing plants to conserve electricity.
MUJI is even doing an extensive experiment to see which plants are the most efficient choice(s) for green shades. They even show you how it’s done step by step and you can see the progress here.
And in my neighborhood, I found one in the making that I was able to get a photo of.
It looks like it’ll take a little more time to cover the windows. Those plants better hurry ’cause once rainy season is over, it’s going to get pret-ty hotttt. So if anyone who is in Japan this summer, look out for these green shades. You’ll know that they’re making efforts to save electricity.
