Coming up for air

Added February 29th, 2008

Yeah I know, updates are few and far between again. I’m buried in client work and keeping my head down while working on the forthcoming issue.

Keep daydreaming about a trip to Japan too, late 2008 / early 2009 I reckon…

Another update over the weekend if I can get enough other stuff done…

Studio Rarekwai (SRK): RackGaki

Added December 14th, 2007

We ran an article about these guys and their film ‘Scratching The Surface: Japan’ back in Feb 2005 as part of the first pdf issue we put together. Having shaken off their old ‘Kwai Lo’ guise, the two main guys behind the project moved to new HQ in London where they’ve been busy producing some tasteful work under the new alias of ‘Studio Rarekwai‘. May 2007 saw the release of their book ‘RackGaki’; an eye popping showcase of Japanese graffiti that comes bundled with a stunning DVD produced in collaboration with Cinema Iloobia (another name that may be familiar to long time multilink readers). Check the trailer below…

Iloobia has passed me an article on filming this that I’ve put aside for the new issue early next year but you might want to think about picking up the DVD/book now as it’s been around for a while. Available from Laurence King Publishing in all good book stores…
