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： |

隨時隨地為已去世的摰愛親友表達敬意？亦想隨時隨地向仇家暗地來個小報復？由Firebean公司最新打造的iPhone apps「上香」，已經席捲全球，絕對是iPhone用家之最佳選擇！
「上香」顧名思義就是為神明、先人奉上香燭，這個apps將上香轉化成iPhone版，用家不用買香燭，不用跑到祀廟或墓地，只要用手機拍下想供奉的神明、人物、寵物，又或從手機相片簿中選擇相片，然後就拿著iPhone作3躹躬，畫面隨即變成一個祭壇，接著一枝清香落下，並有人唸經頌咒，伴著華麗相框中的供奉者，超渡眾生。2分鐘後，上香儀式便完成了，你的心意對方也收到了。用「上香」apps來祭祀，絕對達到環保效果，也可暫時解決骨灰龕位或靈位不足的燃眉之急，比食環署推出的網上追思服務，可能來得更方便。
當然用家也可對朋友或不喜歡的人上香，例如特首、上司、競爭對手，惡搞一番，亦很豐娛樂性呢！稍後會推出強化版的「上香」，到時iPhone用家可以挑選各樣祭品，祭祀先人或仇家，敬請密切留意。
iPhone用家即上http://itunes.apple.com/app/burns-incenses/id378498713?mt=8，齊齊上香！

大家小時候，特別是男生應該都會幻想過自己變成超級英雄，能夠拯救世界維持世界和平，不過我想每當和父母說你是英雄時，都會俾他們取笑你精神分裂，神經病，那我當然相信這個是必經階段而各位都不是有精神病的。不過 Zoo 卻是真的有精神病，精神分裂，妄想証的患者，經常認為自己擁有強大能力保護地球，其實連自己也保護不了，不過活在自己的世界卻也頗快樂的。大家不用擔心會否在街上遇到 Zoo，因為他其實是 Fools Paradise 裡的人物，之前曾變身成為將軍的他，今回就妄想自己成為 Iron Man 和 Robot Cop 般的鐵甲英雄 Fools Machine。
暫時我們收到的照片卻只有這張，更多細節的照片將會陸續送上的。
When we are young, we always imagine that we are some superhero with super power to save the world and protect everyone but our parents used to laugh at out silliness.
Zoo, the character from Fools Paradise, whose previous incarnation is General Zoo a while back, evolved into FOOLS MACHINE this time round: with super power to protect and save the world !
We currently only have one picture for FOOLS MACHINE but we will post more soon. Stay tuned.

It’s Summer time! With the feeling of boiling hot weather, surely that the summer heat wave wouldn’t leave us for a while. To cure the heat and thirsty feelings, it is best to take a big bite of some fresh juicy fruits. For ordinary fruit choices such as apple and oranges are too common, let’s go for a change with exotic fruits like melon, dragon fruit, pineapple and mangostine. As urbanites, sometimes we are too busy to take time off for a summer trip, so why not going to some outlying islands and countryside enjoying the bright sunshine and sea breeze, of course, need to bring along the Exotic Fruit Be@rbicks as accompany!
正式踏入暑假，天氣酷熱非常，想消暑解渴而又達到健康宗旨的話，吃一口鮮甜多汁的水果便最好不過了！除了一般較普遍的水果如蘋果、橙等，充滿著東南亞風情的蜜瓜、火龍果、鳳梨、山竹更是稱心的選擇，皆因作為繁忙的都市人，若無法抽空來趟夏日之旅，不妨到離島或郊外，邊享受陽光與海灘，邊吃著美味解渴的水果，最重要當然是與Exotic Be@rbricks同行，齊拍一輯夏日照吧！

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。

任天堂剛公布了最新的 3D NDS 機種，和以舊款的 NDS 沒有太大不同，在機能硬件上除了性能增加外，最大特點是上部的螢光幕變為3d 立體，而且是可以隨時調較甚至關掉3d 效果，同時機身外置了兩個鏡頭可用於拍攝3d 立體照片，而當然機內置的鏡頭依舊仍在方便玩遊戲的，另外在十字控桿上也新增了多一個360度控桿，方便配合以後的遊戲發展。暫時已肯定以下的遊戲商會發展新的遊戲在這部3DS 上，分別為 Resident Evil Revelations (Capcom), Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D “The Naked Sample” (Konami), DJ Hero 3D (Activision), Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Kart, Nintendogs + Cats, Starfox 64 3D, Paper Mario (Nintendo), the Final Fantasy franchise and Dragon Quest franchise (Square Enix)。詳情請留意我們以後的報導。
With the Electronic Entertainment Expo kicking off in Los Angeles today, Nintendo used this opportunity to unveil the new generation of hardware for the DS family – the new Nintendo 3DS.
What makes this system stand out is that the top screen is a 3.53-inch widescreen LCD display which enables 3D viewing without the need to use special 3D glasses – the first of it’s kind in the world. There is a slider next to the top screen which lets the user adjust the level of 3D effect, or turning it off completely. The bottom screen is a touch screen, just like your normal DS.
Along with 3D viewing, Nintendo also packed a motion sensor and a gyro sensor, 2 outer camera which could take 3D photos, a single inner camera and a analogue nub for more precision control during games.
Like all the older DS’, the machine will come with wireless communication function which Nintendo says will connect to your nearest wi-fi connection and download new characters and levels for games in the background without you even noticing.
While it may look similar to your DS/DS Lite/DSi/DSi XL, Nintendo has went on the record to say this is only a tentative design, which means the final retail product may yet look different.
Currently over 20 game developers have pledged support for the system and are developing games already. Demos shown during E3 include Resident Evil Revelations (Capcom), Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D “The Naked Sample” (Konami), DJ Hero 3D (Activision), Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Kart, Nintendogs + Cats, Starfox 64 3D, Paper Mario (Nintendo), the Final Fantasy franchise and Dragon Quest franchise (Square Enix).
Stay tuned for information about release dates, availability and prices.

剛剛就報導了adFunture 的最後武士是以猿人為主，另一位香港設計師Tim Tsui 也就是喜歡以猿人作主角而有名的，他所設計的猿人玩偶 Da Space Warrior Dunny 同樣都是猿人，而他們都有一個共同點，就是喜歡吃香蕉！Da Space Warrior Dunny 已於 KIDROBOT 有售。 More APES is coming!! After the ape of last samurai from adFunture we just featured and now is Tim Tsui turn. The famous designer from Hong Kong is also famous of using APE as the character and his new toy Da Space Warrior Dunny already released in KIDROBOT now. By the way, all APES like to eat BANANA! |
adFunture 邀請了 Nate Van Dkye 設計了一款名為 Last Samurai （最後武士）的玩偶，以猿人為主角，把日本的武士融入其中。在配件方面，既為日本的武士道就不會缺少武士刀吧，然而這個制作認真的玩偶裡也有玩味之處，那當然就是腰帶被插上的香蕉吧。猿人愛吃香蕉是很平常的是，不過在這個剛陽味頗重的玩偶上，這香蕉除了玩味外也把剛陽味減少，帶點可愛風格，把兩者得到平衡。
這款 Last Samurai 已於 adFunture 的代理商有售，詳情可以到 adFunture 的網站了解。
Nate Van Dkye was invited to join the project of adFunture to design a new toy which is called Last Samurai. Nate using APE as the character, with the samurai from Japan as the main concept.
