Last night I was cutting bits out of an old copy of Print Magazine, to make a collage/thank you card, when one photo in particular caught my eye. I paused to read the snippet associated with it, which led me to the “Canned” project of an architectural firm in Japan:
Over one thousand types of new drinks are launched on to the market each year in Japan. Only a handful make it through to the next season without being pulled from the shelves never to be seen again.These web pages catch the classic cans and the ones that should have got away. Banana Cola anyone? anyone? anyone?
Shimi Jimi, Nachan and Gomen ne are my favorites. Too bad they’ve stopped adding to their archives. Also last night, I was digging around in a drawer for art supplies when I came across an old pack of handmade cards. They were made by Englishwoman Alison Hullyer, whose work can be seen here. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of her sketchbooks. And from flickr, I came across the work of Swedish illustrator Camillle Engman. Beautiful stuff, that.
