  • For Your Blossom

    Interesting animated short by Gaku Kinoshita. Via Paul Baron.

  • Saint’s Row 2 CM in Japan

    —

    ,

    This is how they’re selling Saint’s Row 2 in Japan — I think it’s great. Also, I’d like to give some huge thumbs up on that game. It may not have the sheen of Grand Theft Auto IV, but I might have actually had more fun with SR2. It’s an absolute blast. Via Mark Cooke.

    I’m bored, and trying not to think about certain things, so let’s play a game. Pictured, a light. It’s somewhere in Tokyo. Ten points to anyone who figures out where. I may add hints in the comments section.

  • Joi Ito’s Freesouls

    —

    ,

    Really love this project by Joi Ito: Freesouls, a book of portraits taken by him. Pictured above is the “Luxury Boxed Set,” but even just the book alone features a really nice design. The first offering is composed of a limited print run of 1024 (50 for the boxed set). You can order it here.
