Today’s tee, in honor of Jesper.
Jean Snow lives and breathes design, pop culture, and gaming in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.
Arcade Mania is currently on sale through Amazon Japan, with the same edition available for pre-order on Amazon US (to be released January, 2009).
Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens October 6.

thanx - savage
Sorry, I don’t anything about 20307. The tee was made by Jesper Larsson, a designer in Sweden. He has t-shirt brand called White Label, but this tee was just a quick one-off (so I don’t think he’s selling them).
I didn’t design that t-shirt though. My fellow collegues Christopher & Pascal designed it. I’m always given credit for all things NCM haha… And as you say, it’s not a White Label tee, just a quick one-off, not currently for sale
Wow. I need that tshirt.
Jesper! Sell me one?
Daniel: It might end up being produced by another brand so I don’t want to sell any before that. But I’ll let you know if and when it does. I’m glad you like it anyway :)
What’s this other brand that you might be releasing it under? Would you (NCM) retain ownership?
no, we always sell out! ;)
Poor Times New Roman, the workhorse of fonts. Takes so much abuse, toils away everyday, gets no love.
