You're So Paper Rad

Writing a little blurb on this three-person, 80s-influenced cartoon and techno graphics art collective out of NYC known as Paper Rad seems futile.

Read the group's wee manifesto and you'll see why I say that -- they prefer not to be defined by what they call "america-speak". Which is apparently what I'd be doing if I wrote extensively on them.

Having said that, check out some of the awesome works that come from the artists.

Totally rad, dude.













I'm Lovin' it: Vancouver editorial and commercial photographer Jody Rogac. Her impressive client list includes things-cool such as Aritizia, ION Magazine, The Georgia Strait, Shine Nightclub, the band Your Say Party! We Say Die!, Spankrock, FASHION Magazine and Slum Records. Her camera-style is very, very real and authentic -- looking at some of Rogac's photos feels like catching a series of precious moments in someone's life. On top of all that, she's a total sweetheart who dotes on her dog Jonathan -- and, of course, her camera.











I'm Lovin' it, Part Deux: Today, I'm not in strong dislike of much. Maybe it's because of the two cookies I just had? Anyway, I just finished having a discussion with my co-worker Nicky P., who -- at the tenderoni age of 24 -- doesn't seem to understand why girls always go for older guys. He claims that girls have it all wrong, because once the guy hits 70 and croaks, she has 20 more years of loneliness to bear while, "he sits up in heaven, banging on the piano and drinking martinis while she sits on earth, crying her eyes out and being all depressed."

Good point, Nicky P., good point.


Place of the Day: The new Illhoiha gym facility in Tokyo, with its special Omotesando-style climbing wall masterminded by hip design group Nendo. This ain't your average rock climbing in Squamish, that's for damn sure.
