貼紙這東西，總之人見人愛的，不論你去那看到有免費的都總會那下一兩張，也是一個宣傳極方便的方法。我每次逛書店時每次看到日本歐美等國家推出的貼紙書，總是必定會買下，一來喜歡儲貼紙，二來書內擁有大量藝術家、畫家、設計師、品牌的圖像，可是一直以來都從來不見有香港推出貼紙書的，是因為香港的設計都不行嗎？我倒不認為，主要原因是在極商業的角度下，發行商都認為不能賺錢所以沒有意慾推出吧。終於今年，一團在香港努力推動街頭藝術，圖像設計，品牌，次文化的人，組識起來共同合作推出了一本名為 JoyStick 起貼的貼紙書，也是香港首本正式發行的貼紙書。並於今年夏天的書展中推出。 書內一共有16個單位，當中有不少像林祥焜，Graphicairlines，門小雷，Telephone Fung，Start From Zero等等其實已在香港甚至國際已有名氣的。作為首本貼紙書，當然書中擁有他們的不同設計，有品牌的，有極有趣的，有重口味的，有街頭文化的，有對政治不滿的，幾乎什麼也有，所以喜歡貼紙的你，支持香港本地藝術的你，喜愛他們作品的你，都不要錯過這次機會去書展購下以作支持吧。 16個單位的資料可以在以下看到： |

一直個人認為並沒有任何理由去購買 iPad，但如果我擁有 iPad 的話，我必定去買下這個 iPad 外殼。SwitchRasy 這個外殼，使用了極耐用和避震的假皮作為物料，最有趣之處是他們形容肋骨型所突出的部份能完全保護到 iPad 的螢幕，有 iPad 的朋友不妨買個試試吧。
Personally I find no use for an iPad yet but if I do own one I am certainly getting this. SwitchRasy’s ultra tough reinforced protective sleeve for the iPad are made from highly durable faux leather and they claim the ribcage design actually dissipate shock for ultimate screen protection. I will get it for the design alone.

Awesome stop motion video by Tilles Singer using frame shots from skate magazines.
滑板除了玩之外，很多時也成為室內的裝飾物，也有很多人加雙腿把它改為椅子，既能裝飾也很實用，不過最近Freshome就把滑板變成椅子這個概念變得更強大，以休閒椅子作為基本，把淨木色的滑板變成材料，將背面加了軟墊，組成放上支架後就變成了一張看上去很自然舒適的休閒椅，我相信不是玩滑板的人也看到心動吧，不過先決條件是，你的家要有頗大的地方 
Freshome recently ran another feature on furniture designs inspired by Skateboards. From chair, table to shelf and pure home decor fixtures, all Skate fans should check out this feature ! The Jet Set Lounge Chair above is a personal favorite, and I am sure it appeal not only to Skate fans alone.

Fools Paradise 的12吋玩偶終於推出第二個人物 ZOO，一樣還是以手製所有服飾，也是一樣時尚的造型，特別是那件patchwork 格子恤，在真實的衣服下也是頗多手工的，換在12吋玩偶上那便是更難、需要更多心思去慢慢縫合，單是這樣也能看到他們的誠意吧。
這個玩偶已在 Fools Paradise 網站接受預訂，更多資料可到他們的網站看到。

In February we announced the news of FALSE first line for 2010 and after much anticipation, it’s finally released. The line consist of seven thoughts provoking graphics that speaks of the reality that we thrive in the everyday present moment.
To quote from FALSE : ” Disarm or Die …. is a call for action in the form of intelligence, a call to arms where no arms shall be required. A collective conjoining of minds to actively communicate, boycott, overthrow the powers that might be just by active choice. The choice to choose our own independent way of thought and way of seeing life. The choice to bring down the false illusions bestowed upon us.. Reality altering at will and on a whim, we see what we choose to see and thus we shall be what we choose to be. Disarm Or Die…….. ”
Once again we sit down with Le Messie for a dissection of the individual graphic and the idea behind it as we felt it’s important to understand the strong message behind this release .

今期6月號的Juxtapoz Magazine以普普風藝術家Keith Haring 做專題及封面故事。 Keith Haring 的作品，只用簡單粗線條繪畫出來，可是看上去整個畫面已經非常豐富。細看他的作品當中還包含了深遠的意義，可是作品真正要表達的意思，只有他自己才會知道。 |
