New "Tetsujin 28" teaser images



"Before I was fully occupied by Astro boy movie, I have been spending couple months with the Creative and Development team to develop a "Teaser" of most classic iconic giant robot, "Tetsujin 28", ( Iron Man 28 / Gigantor ) which is created by Mitsuteru Yokoyam 横山光輝 in 60's. I am glad that we have chance to make a CG animation test on that. I like giant robot and i really want to make a robot movie after we created Zentrix. We are going to share with public by put it on a website soon. Here is one of screenshot. : )"

Jay-z x Radiohead - Jaydiohead


"Jay-z is one of the best MCs in ever to touch a mic. Radiohead is the most genius rock band of the last decade with potential icon status. Therefore, it seems common sense to mash the two up for a 10 track album entitled Jaydiohead. That’s exactly what Minty Fresh Beats did and the outcome is as dope as you would expect it. Do yourself a favor and download it from the official website here."

Touma's Bling


"For his recent LA exhibition at mixi-bang! in November, Touma showed off several not-for-sale pieces that caught people’s attention. This custom PeeGee covered in Swarovski Crystals drew stares and questions about how it was created. It was done by Ayano from Bling My Thing. She also created Touma’s blinged-out tees that he wears at shows."

The Contrarian


"The Contrarian is a tool that brings into focus disparate facts and views in today's media narrative. Taking content entirely from published articles and photos, The Contrarian seeks to sharpen the edges of the hazy world view presented by internet media. The product of this effort seeks not to discredit any particular source, but to encourage users to seek out other sources for information."

This is just an awesome concept and the site is really well designed.
