Many large cool companies like to commission cool artists to do art for their offices, like David Choe for the Facebook offices. Recently Google Zurich hired Drzach & Suchy to create a piece based on a shadow casting method. The piece they created was titled "The Force". The Star Wars themed piece transforms from an...
Whether you're an athlete or a normal Joe Schmo, you could always benefit from an opportunity to add a little more exercise into your daily routine. Now, Russia isn't exactly getting the most positive attention due to their...
When a friend asked me if I wanted to see Moebius at AFI Fest, I thought it was going to be a documentary about the French cartoonist. That would have been great, but even better it was Kim Ki-duk's latest flick. I'm a big fan of the South Korean director, and have even had the...
I posted on Dante several weeks ago on his creatively developed collaborative project, titled The Doodle Project, where he brought together 62 illustrators and 14 musicians from all over the world to play a small role in this piece.

In August, our daughter Eloise began attending kindergarten at Castelar Elementary School in Chinatown. It is neither a magnet nor a charter but...
Many artists call themselves indie musicians but I've never met any as independent as Goh Nakamura. Not only does he self-release his own music (which is a lovely mix of The Beatles, Elvis Costello, and Elliot Smith) but he'll perform anywhere because he loves it. I've seen him play clubs, bars, and large gatherings of...
Last week, I was lucky enough to be on hand for the latest Architecture for Dogs exhibition opening at TOTO Gallery Ma in Tokyo. The opening was a huge success, with attendance from the press, VIPs, and hundreds of the public, within the first few days. The opening event included a short seminar at Design...
