A boy & his robot…on the scrapbook edge…

Manga covers 1956-1966:  Tetsujin 28-gō

Tetsujin 28-gō, the famous Japanese robot manga series written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, ran as a monthly insert in Shōnen Magazine from July 1956 to May 1966. The manga follows the adventures of a 10-year-old boy named Shotarō and his giant crime-fighting robot named Tetsujin 28 (a.k.a "Gigantor" in the US), which was originally built by the boy's late father as a secret weapon for the Japanese military during World War II.

You can architect a world inside a lampshade…on the scrapbook edge…


Early Assemblage - Mel & Judith Begin Their Trip







The Migration of Mel & Judith - Royal Academy of Arts, London
 Architect, Thomas Hiller introduces the project
Firstly I’d like to introduce you to Mel (short for Melvin) and Judith, a recently retired couple from Croydon who have decided to give up on their life in London’s third City and travel Europe in search of the perfect caravan spot and a touch of hot weather! As they travel the couple realise they miss the home comforts of England, especially white bread which seems impossible to get abroad. To combat thier longing they slowly adapt and customise their caravan-house to feel a little more like home. Walls of the caravan become aroma filled bricks of white bread, especially made by Mel & Judith themselves. Other adaptations include the pebbledash façade reminiscent of their Croydon abode. A green lawn-carpet that is much cooler underfoot than the hot Marbella sand and when it gets too hot there's always the sprinkler system and snow-chimney.

Ahí estaba el espejo, la noche lo acompañaba.
Al levantar la mirada, autómata, el instante y una milésima de luz me devolvieron la curva de mi cadera.
Al roce de tu recuerdo, cobró vida tu mano como una segunda piel.
Tu caricia turbia, en la niebla del alba, despertó mi corazón.

Rebuild the Future with Invisible Children


You Are What You Do from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.

We love the junk journal/streetart/collage/scrapbook look-and-feel of this video, for a good cause:
Rebuild the Future with Invisible Children

Join Schools for Schools // s4s.invisiblechildren.com

For the fall round of Schools for Schools, Halogen TV is matching the first $100,000 raised by high schools and colleges across the country. Clubs are competing against each other to rebuild schools in war-affected northern Uganda and to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to see their work in action in Uganda.
