In addition to being lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in Tokyo for the inaugural POW! WOW! Japan recently, I also got to travel to Taipei for the very first time. I was there for the first week of this year's 3-week-long POW! WOW! Taiwan mural festival. In short, I wish I could have stayed...
Before and Further is the title of the current art installation/exhibition by artist duo DABSMYLA at the Modernica factory in Downtown Los Angeles. I'm glad I was able to stop by recently as it closes this Sunday. In short, the exhibition is absolutely stunning. It's centered around a series of furniture collaborations between DABSMYLA and...
I'm just back in town, fresh off the plane home from Taiwan. I was lucky enough to spend three whole weeks in Asia touring along with the first ever POW! WOW! Japan and the second POW! WOW! Taiwan back-to-back events. POW! WOW! Taiwan is actually ongoing - with another two weeks and two more destinations...
In Tokyo for the first POW! WOW! Japan for the last two weeks, I was lucky enough to tag along with Jeff Hamada, Mark Kushimi, and Brandon Shigeta for a quick visit to Tokyo Midtown in Akasaka - a relatively new destination for shopping, dining, and culture. First stop was an impressive photo exhibition at...
Happy Friday! I believe this is the first video content to come out of POW! WOW! Japan and it's impressive when you consider that the event hasn't actually launched yet! Eight Japanese artists gathered in Shibuya, one of Tokyo's cultural and shopping centers, to paint one wall together, in sections. The artists featured include Mon...

I've met some pretty incredible people through the various POW! WOW! events I've attended and been involved with. During POW! WOW! Long Beach, I was lucky enough to meet Matt and Roxy Ortiz, aka Wooden Wave. The creative couple are part of the POW! WOW! family, being artists based in Lana Lane, in the heart...
Last week, I posted the first in the series of five new Decade of Knocks videos from our good friends at Knockaround - all about the growth of their incredible brand over the last ten years. I thought the first episode was great, but this second one very kindly features a nod to Imprint's role...
Knockaround - the San Diego-based sunglasses company which represents Imprint's first investment - are celebrating their 10 year anniversary this year. That's a decade of having fun, making rad shades, and a celebration is in order. Huge congrats to all of our great friends on the Knockaround team! Here's to the next decade. They're releasing...
The big POW! WOW!-related news of the week is that they have just announced an Asia tour starting this October. It will include the first ever POW! WOW! Japan, which takes place October 17th - 24th, followed by the second ever POW! WOW! Taiwan, which is October 31st - November 21st. It should be amazing...
