NO BORDERS

Sitting at the top of a steep ass hill in Hong Kong’s SoHo district is No Borders Art Gallery.  The insane heat that day didn’t make the hike any easier, but after finally catching my breath I dropped in to say hi to Zoe and checked out Michael De Feo’s work on the walls.  Nice spot [...]

JWOA AND KRAP @ CLUB AXXCIS

There was talk about the column from Copyright’s show last year at Club Axxcis undergoing some change so the timing was perfect.  JWOA, KRAP, and I bounced over to Shibuya the next day with cans of Montana Gold.

JWOA @ GROPE IN THE DARK

French graff writer JWOA and his lady KRAP in Tokyo for vacation.  Thanks to Grope In The Dark for the space.  Can’t tell from the pics but those lines took hours to lay down.

The Doarat office brings out the kid in everyone.  Collaborations with Rody, Mr. Men, Gachapin, and of course the Sanrio family all over the place.  Makes you wanna jump in the sack and make some babies.  Hey do it for Japan’s aging population!  A funky boombox plastic case parting gift and the Spring/Summer catalog from [...]

WARPED

At the Transworld Japan office yesterday visiting Warp Magazine, one of my favorite Japanese magazines that’s still got it.  They know what’s good and they’ve got the street cred.  No time for bullshit…

UP IN SMOKE

At SMOKE in the Bulgari building with VIX.  Nice little joint where things happen.

QUCCI AT STADIUM

The Quintin Qucci 5-panel leather fitted is now available in Tokyo exclusively at Daikanyama’s Stadium.

SIZE OF YOUR STEEPLE

After a boycott over tshirts depicting racial stereotypes of Asians in 2002, a $40 million discrimination settlement in 2004, and more recently a lawsuit from the girl with the prosthetic arm, Abercrombie & Fitch finally makes its way into glitzy Ginza, but some things never change.
