You know you want a Mamma Gun tote bag! More Cafepress store offerings here. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I don’t get a penny from these.

Jesper is setting up a shop at Cafepress to sell Mamma Gun goods (it was always his intention to keep the brand alive even after the end of the event), and he’s starting things off with a clock! Expect tees and other merchandise to follow soon.
Update: Jesper has added a few more items, including a mug, and apron, and a bag.

Fresh from their contribution at our Mamma Gun event (they still have goods on sale there, in case you’re wondering), Emma & Malena have opened a temporary store at the Next Century Modern offices in Gothenburg. Oh, and NCM is also behind their nice new site.

Cafe Pause has put up a whole bunch of pics on their site covering all aspects of the Mamma Gun event, including a bunch from last Saturday’s “Son of a Gun” party.
Also, let me invite you all to another “sort of” party we’ll be having at Cafe Pause this coming Saturday night. It’s not an official party (just regular cafe hours and menu), but me and Jesper will certainly be there from 7 to commemorate the end of the Mamma Gun event. And since we still have a lot of vodka from our sponsor (thank you so much, Absolut), expect lots of free shots to be handed out.

Paul of Tokyo Art Beat has started a new photo pool on Flickr called, appropriately enough, “Tokyo Art & Design.” The TABlog now has a Flickr badge that streams pics from the pool, and it looks great. So join in, and start adding your pics! I’ll be be doing so sometime soon.
Pictured above, from the pool, is a pic Paul took during the “Son of a Gun” party at Cafe Pause this past Saturday.
Comments (0) Category: Art • Design • Mamma Gun • Photography • WebJust got back from our big “Son of a Gun” party at Cafe Pause, and yes, I’m still sort of drunk, but I just want to thank everyone who came and helped make the event such a successful one. The place was full pretty much from start to finish, and it was so great to finally match some faces with names that have popped up in various comment threads on this site (you know who you are). Again, thank you all for the support, and here’s already looking forward to more events in this little part of town I call home (i.e. Ikebukuro).

Also, if you’d like to find out more about the design process, Craig should be at our “Son of a Gun” party tomorrow night at Cafe Pause — how’s that for a plug!

As promised, here are a bunch of pics from the opening day of the Mamma Gun event at Cafe Pause. The image included in this post is a collage, and you can view all of these pics full-sized in the following Flickr set. We’re very happy with the way things are going, and can’t wait for the party on Saturday!

The Mamma Gun event at Cafe Pause starts today! I have to say, the place looks great, and I can’t wait to hear what people think of the whole thing. I will try to post some pics today. The image included in this post is of the new sign you’ll see outside of the cafe.
Also, we got the t-shirts yesterday night, so I’ll be shipping out the rest of the orders today or tomorrow morning (and warning, some colors — especially the red M size — are already close to selling out, so order quickly if you want one). I’ll be wearing mine today, so if you spot someone at the design events sporting the Mamma Gun logo, then that’s probably me.
Update: All orders were sent out this morning.
