inspiration: Cross Vision | New Mission

cross-mission02new

Our talented friends from Hong Kong, Graphic Airlines, famous for their quirky and clever street art, (read our Graphic Airlines Interview) are back, in another exciting exhibition: Cross Vision, New Mission:

“Cross Vision, New Mission is a rebellion against opulence, while also being a fresh attempt at introspection, self-discovery and creating what is closest to one’s heart. Here is where lies the power to transform and transcend the global economic uncertainty. The collections are classics remixed with a contemporary sensibility, while helping to redefine a new design mindset.”

It is the last day of the exhibition tomorrow, so if you do happen to be in Hong Kong, then you must visit this fresh, groundbreaking event, pushing Asian design in a different direction.

Date: 6-9 July, 2009
Location: Hall 1D Concourse, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, 1 Expo Drive, Wan Chai, HK

Exhibition Times:
9:30am-5:00pm (9 July)

inspiration: K1664 – French Art of Pleasure

Kronenbourg 1664 launched its ‘French Art of Pleasure – Mobile Arts’ campaign at LKF, Hong Kong, last week. Several renowned Hong Kong artists were asked to produce graphics and illustrations to celebrate the event and brand, covering a mass of walls, windows, tables, beer glasses and coasters. Featured above are TC favourite Graphic Airlines, and one of Jonathan Jay Lee’s beautiful, comic style illustrations on a beer glass. Beer and art, what more can you ask for?

inspiration: Klomp! Hong Kong

Well there’s plenty of vinyl toys, and customs, there’s even a movie made about them, so here’s a nice change, towards customising other items. Klomp! is a cross-cultural design-for-charity event where Hong Kong and China based artists and designers were invited to design a pair of original Dutch wooden shoes (’clogs’ in English, ‘klomp’ in Dutch). The Asian creativeness and flair, expressed on to these symbolic objects of the Dutch, produce something completely unique. There will be a charity auction to give these clogs a good home, which will end 28th May, with the proceeds going to Oxfam, Hong Kong. Our good friends Graphic Airlines (read our interview) were also involved in the project, and their piece looks brilliant as usual.

First up in this box is good ol’ Graphic Airlines again with a GA cap, tee and set of mini figures. We have to say a big thanks to those guys because they sent a treasure trove of cool stuff from Hong Kong, which is why they feature in almost every box! Then our very own Stephen Chan has put in a signed Don’t Panic poster, some postcards and stickers. Project Detonate sent in an ace tee and badge combo. A crayola coloured parcel arrived from Aaron Miller containing a framed pic, see-through business cards and a badge set. Kenn Munk returns as well with a super-awesome heavyweight toy, with detatchable head! Yupyland added in a signed print and very cute postcard set. And finally, Insolent Candy Floss donated some really neat postcards, and stickers.

So you know the score now, just sign up over at…
