Graphic Design & Web Design from Tokyo - Bento Graphics

Fellow creative James Bowskill from A.C.O. launched an interesting new project:

Feed your excess tweeters to the tiger & tame Twitter in 2010!

Have fun unfollowing your way to a slimmer timeline by taking a quick information diet. Connect with your Twitter account to get started here: Tigertweet.me!

What’s it all about?

2010 is the year of the tiger, and what better way to start it than with a good clean out of your Twitter timeline? TigerTweet.Me is a fun service that encourages you to do just that. We believe that in this age of information overload, keeping control of the signal to noise ratio is vital in enjoying, and getting the most out of the 24/7 stream of information.

Our hungry tiger loves nothing more than chomping through tweets, whether they’re endless lunch updates, pet statuses or just plain old spam. So feed all those noisy tweeters to him and enjoy a slimmed-down, info-rich, noise-free 2010.

So get feeding, and have a Happy New Year!

Warmest wishes for 2010 and best of luck to all!

Please be warmly invited to the exhibition of friend & photographer Martin Holtkamp.

Date: Friday, 8th January 2010
Time: 18:00 - 20:00
Place: Gallery Speak For in Daikanyama
Address: Sarugakucho 28-2 Speak For B1F

Join us for the opening of HANAMI, an Outsider’s View of Japanese Icons. For about 2 weeks starting on the 8th January photographs I have taken between 2007 and 2009 will be on display in Gallery Speak For (located near Daikanyama Station, see map below). HANAMI is a collection of images based on what I consider to be essentially Japanese, but I have taken the liberty to include images that do not fit this brief in the strictest sense.

For those of you who speak Japanese, you can find a bit of writing below as posted on the Gallery’s blog.

We will have a reception party from 6-8pm on Friday (8th) evening. There will be a few bottles of wine, but supply will be limited.

In case you cannot make it to the opening (or like to come again), please note that Gallery Speak For is open every day from 11am-8pm except Thursdays (so on the 14th the Gallery will be closed).

I am looking forward to welcoming you at my show and hope you will enjoy the works and of course each others company on the 8th.

Be warmly invited to the exhibition of fellow creator Ai Kurahashi and photographer Sebastian Meyer.

“The Garden as Science Fiction” is a series of works which represent the life of those who yearn for nature and their immediate future to be one of “Science Fiction.” In this exhibition, we have added new works to the collection we announced last fall under the same title. We feel we can never complete this series, however this will be our very first collection.

This time, the work of ON ZA LINE is linked and exhibited with the work of German photographer Sebastian Mayer SM/AEIOU. We hope you will enjoy the world of “The Garden as Science Fiction” ever more.

This is a completely new exhibition which takes place only once a year. Please don’t miss this exhibition as it runs only for five days.
