  • 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!

  • Bape Book Launch at Colette

    My friend Ian — editor of Tokyolife — sends me a few pics from from the launch party for his latest book, which covers all things Bape. It took place at the Colette store in Paris yesterday.

  • 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.

  • Digiki in Osaka Tonight

    If you’re in Tokyo, then there’s a little launch party I’d love to see you attend, but if you’re in Osaka, then I don’t think you can beat Digiki and company’s “Asobinite” club event at Namura Creative Center. More info on tonight’s event can be found at Tokyo Fun Party’s site.

  • Back in TYO to Party Like an Arcade Maniac

    And I’m back! After a 9-day journey that had me deep in Mao-era communist glory, I have to say it’s good to be back home. And of course, just in time for tomorrow night’s launch party for Arcade Mania at Cafe Pause. I’m really looking forward to having a good time, seeing lots of people,…
