(14 February 2005) - Sick of hearing me talk about anime and not know what I'm talking about specifically? Curious about which new series I think are hot? Well, get ready to kill the cat.

Street Art 237
(14 February 2005) - 237 is an urban art project that started in Malaga, Spain. They supposedly have a website coming soon. Other than being incredibly cute, the little guys featured above are a direct reference to Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Princess Mononoke, where they're the tree spirits known as Kodama. From the looks of it, it seems they've left the forest and headed for Spain. I can't...

Arakimentari
(22 January 2005) - Arakimentari. The subject is the reknowned (or reviled) japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. He's considered to have changed the representation of female nudity in Japan. The film explores the artist behind the photos by documenting his work ethic and revealing the context in which he creates his work. There are also interviews with Bjˆrk and Takeshi Kitano.

adidas Zissou
(05 January 2005) - When JP at h-list couldn't find a pair of the Zissou edition adidas worn in The Life Aquatic, it was time to make a pair. Very crafty. The reason JP couldn't find them, apparently, is that they were never issued. Here's an email I received today from a reader, Ryan McManus: ...
