    About a month late on this, but pictured above, the winner of this year’s Graniph Design Award, designed by Tokyo-based Choi Hwang Ho. You can see the rest of the winners here — I have to say I prefer a lot of the runner-ups.

    Tokyo Art Beat is carrying a new tee (not part of the regular TAB line) produced by designer duo Noto-Fusai. As the name “Utility Pole” implies, the design not only draws graphically from the theme, but also includes three cables that are stitched into the t-shirt. Utility Pole is just the latest in the duo’s…

    Paul Snowden has produced a rather nice tee for Minimal Tokyo as part of his “Wasted German Youth” series. Wish I could have attended Ivan‘s event last week at the Vitamin Water event space in Harajuku.

    If you pick up this week’s issue of Metropolis (#798), those are two of the models you’ll find in the “Designers’ Tees” piece (link will expire at the end of this week). It was fun to do, and you’ll also find a bunch of my friends in the article. I’m wearing a tee from PMKFA‘s…
