  • Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School in Tokyo

    The premise for “Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School” is awesome: illustrators/artists get together regularly to sketch a burlesque performer. The event in Tokyo is held every month at The Pink Cow in Shibuya. The next one happens next week, October 21, with the sketching starting at 19:00 (entry is 2,000 yen, which includes a drink). It…

  • Meeting Modernity Postcard Set

    As part of the Neojaponisme-produced “Meeting Modernity” exhibition — recently held at the Young Art gallery in LA — sets of eight postcards, wrapped in handmade envelopes, were also put on sale. There are still a few sets available, and you can purchase them online here.

  • Chin Music Press Talk in NYC this Wednesday

    Your mission, should you decide to accept it, would be to attend a talk to be given by Craig this Wednesday (October 8, 18:30-20:00) at the Apple Store in SOHO. The presentation will focus on the making of Art Space Tokyo and Goodbye Madame Butterfly, and other CMP goodness I’m sure.

  • PSFK Conference Asia

    The latest PSFK Conference is coming to Singapore this Friday (October 10), bringing more creatives together than you can shake a stick at — Mark Dytham is even giving a talk!

The blue edition pictured above is exclusive to Colette, with the camo edition exclusive to Bape stores (Colette…

  • PingMag: Yokohama Triennale 2008

    PingMag takes us on a tour of this year’s Yokohama Triennale.

  • Dezeen + Tokyo Designers Week

    I missed this because it was announced while I was in China, but Dezeen will be producing the catalog for this year’s edition of Tokyo Designers Week and 100% Design Tokyo. Definitely some good news, as previous editions have been less than stellar. The deadline for submissions by exhibitors is October 6.

  • TAB Party This Saturday

    Just a reminder that the Tokyo Art Beat 4th anniversary party happens this Saturday (October 4) at SuperDeluxe. You’ll find all the event details here, which you should also print out to get the TAB discount.

  • Arcade Mania Tonight

    OK, I promise, this is the last mention of tonight’s Arcade Mania party at Cafe Pause. Really. Promise. It’s tonight. 19:00-23:00. Looking forward to it! Pictured, 6955 (Jason DeGroot), who took a break from Fez goings-on to prepare an awesome mix for tonight’s festivities.
