Remember the submarine/fighter jet hybrid model that My friend Yifan did a while ago? She just did a little exercise in photoshop to attempt to make a illustration out of a photo. I’d say the result isn’t too bad.

OK from the comment section on flickr most are erked and ewwed by this. But you can’t deny it’s erotic in some twisted sense yes? I have officially said too much.

I really have no idea how to describe Sankaku Complex. For me it’s like a tiny window into Japanese weirdness/wonderfulness. I have no trouble understanding those specific quirks because I grew up in Taiwan*, but I am sure it’s (still) quite weird for a lot of people.  See here, dozens of dozens anime faces that when view all at the same time, are quite mesmerizing.  Follow the link and give it a try.

*Japanese shit is big in Taiwan, for those who don’t know.

I really cannot tell if the website selling these t-shirts are just having fun or are genuinely promoting “teach the controversy” idea. This is all in good fun and I do like the graphics.

update: how did I missed it? Check out the main page on that site, it’s even better!

p.s. wait a while, if this entry gets any traction, the comments on reddit are usually quite… uh… intelligent.

The arms are awesome.

To me, this Il Falso Kandinsky line has a stronger personality than the full moon dresser that is the object of desire for many.  Of course, since I am an avid reader of Japanese manga, it would have been interesting to see either Monster or Pluto artwork on the dressers and cabinets, and it would have taken the work to an completely different meaning with a different cultural reference.

p.s. yeah, how did you know? I am a huge huge Naoki Urasawa fan.

p.s. I wonder, from a technical point of view, if they have found a way to ensure the illustration on the cabinet can resist fading and discolouration due to repetitive use.
