Kap10Kurt - Danger Seekers
Check out this absolutely amazing work for Kap10Kurt’s song “Danger Seekers.” The rich, unique shading, colour palette (love the CMYK!), motion, 2.5D, everything is spot on. This inspired me to drop $3.99 a piece on Kap10Kurt’s albums on iTunes. YEAH!
Make sure to watch this one in HD on Vimeo. I am in awe of this.
Directed by The Holograms, created by Mathematic.

Custom watches from Lars Amhoff
A creative acquaintance of mine, Lars Amhoff, has created these one-off watches with the assistance of a watchmaker. If I had about 1000€ sitting around, I’d probably send him a custom design and never take these things off. If you’re interested in one, you should send him an email at lars@kinkyform.com.

Star Performer watch at Tokyo Flash
Recently, I have been bidding farewell to one of my closest friends here at university. He will be traveling back to Japan permanently. But before he does, he entrusted me with this watch, the Star Performer. Tokyo Flash has some really great, futuristic watches. I will wear this one in pride, and maybe I’ll pick up a few others like the Kisai Denshoku.

Tekkon Kinkreet (鉄コン筋クリート)
An underappreciated look at balance and harmony between Kuro and Shiro. An all-time favorite of mine, perhaps above Akira.

Andrew Bush Films - Personal Podcast #2
This is the second podcast of one of my friends who lives in Japan. Very interesting to hear about the difficulties of getting a job as a foreigner in Japan outside of teaching English and doing IT. Not necessarily the same type of creative material I’ve been posting, but I find it a humbling and honest look at one man’s journey in the East.

RIP tDR
In January of 2009, The Designer’s Republic closed their doors for business. This firm played a very strong role in shaping my vision of graphic design as a young child, and inspired me to pursue a career in the field. Below I’ve featured some of their work in memoriam.

NAMCO Sound Team
Another group of creatives that I am hoping to raise awareness about. The NAMCO Sound Team is a group of in-house composers that create the music that can be heard in Tekken, Ridge Racer, and many other games. They truly paint an aural landscape and environment with their sounds in games. I sometimes find myself listening to their work for Tekken on my iPod.
