neurowear

People think that our bodies have limitations,
but just imagine if we had organs that don’t exist,
and could control that new body?
We created new human organs that use a brainwave sensor.
Necomimi is the new communication tool
that augments the human bodies and abilities.
This cat’s ear shaped machine utilizes brainwaves
and expresses your emotional state before you start talking
Just put on Necomimi and if you are concentrating,
this cat’s ear shaped machine will rise.
When you are relaxed, your new ears lie down.
If you are concentrating and relaxing at the same time,
your new ears will rise and actively move.
In general, professional sports players demonstrate this ability the most.
What will happen when people show their feelings
even when they don’t express them?
Interesting? Ashamed? Scared?
In the beginning, people may feel strange,
however people quickly become accustomed to controlling their new ears
with their brainwaves. Right now, Necomimi can become a part of your body.

Gyaru and Ganguro style


There are a lot of subcultures inside gyaru, like rock, hime, oneegyaru, and so on. Gyaru subculture is still a major influence in the economy with the Japanese fashionbrand branched Gal and become more accessible in rural areas. In Tokyo, more often than not, a shopping center in every major train station that is dedicated to offering the latest and trendy items from popular brands Gal. Some brands are also reaching outoverseas by having their goods easily accessible at WebShop offer shipping service worldwide.


these pictures above are examples of gyaru style

Ganguro is more extreme style. Ganguro, literally “face-black,” is a fashion trend among Japanese girls, an outgrowth of chapatsu hair dyeing. The basic look is bleached-blond hair and a deep tan, produced by tanning beds or makeup. The intent is to produce the tanned, blond California beach girl look. Accessories include high platform shoes or boots, purikura photo stickers, and cellular phones.

 and these are ganguro style, looks kinda creepy XD.
but it's called art "anti beauty".

Believe it OR Not


It might be very hard to believe that the photographer did not use Photoshop to idealize this photograph. She actually  took this picture on a rainy and windy day. I find this photograph very eye catching because of the colours used and the subject was not put in the middle. There are many blue colours on the girls outfit that connects it to the background. The theme "sleeping in heaven" is also very interesting. There is also a contrast between the texture of the sky and texture of the street. The rough and the soft texture are combined and make it look incredible. Finally, the photographer cleverly used the horizontal line on top of the sky to make the subject stand out because of the orderly line and the rough order in the sky.


                                                      (The Horse Turned His head to the other side)
It is a very unbelievable photograph that is taken for fun by the photographer without making up the pose. This is a very tricky photograph and the photographer was definitely  very fortunate to have seen such an interesting pose.


This definitely looks photoshopped but actually it's a life-size photographic work based on the original building in Paris, printed on canvas, enhanced with bas-relief. It shelters the renovation of an Hausmannian building during the year 2007. The project is named"39GeorgeV" is an urban surrealism manifesto.

Flat-Pack Furniture ‘Mat’

This design idea from Shin Yamashita works just like an area rug or colorless carpet when not otherwise in use – but contains a hidden desk, secret chair and other cool stuff in its flat folds. It is intentionally nondescript – the only decorative touches being splashes of primary colors indicating functional purposes within an otherwise gray field.


No matter how small you make them, most transforming furniture objects end up taking up at least some space in their smallest configuration. Not so with this floor mat – a singular design object that folds flat to the floor but is filled with all kinds of creative surprises.



These days people like something simple and not take up much space. This is very good for a family or individual who only have a small space at home because this mat is highly versatile, ie can be a bed, dining table, study table and backrest. and also it looks very comfortable judge by the look.

Crossword Puzzle Wrapping Paper Works for Any Occasion



The number one problem with wrapping papers: they are typically suited for only one season, holiday or other highly-particular occasion. Compounding the issue: each sheet and roll remains the same from one year to the next.



A cheat sheet is included for those who wish to find a short-cut for a last-minute gift – options include birthdays, congratulations, miss you, love you, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Easter, and the ever-popular: it is not a tie.
I think this wrapping paper is quite interesting. the fun part is (or could be) filling in those blanks – figuring out where the words you want to select are hidden within the puzzle, highlighting or circling them, and making sure they appear where you want them to on the finish-wrapped present in question. Genius, interactive yet modest.
this is good for people who likes to play crosswords puzzle.

James Jean

James Jean is one of my favorite artists because most of his art works look really interesting to me.
James Jean was born in Taiwan. Jean is an artist based in Los Angeles, California. He was educated at the School of Visual Arts in New York and has lived in Los Angeles since 2003. In a ceaseless torrent of images, his finely wrought and narrative-driven work has captured the attention of a world-wide audience and the admiration of other artists, designers, and filmmakers. Renowned for his draftsmanship, imagination, and ability to span the commercial and fine art worlds, Jean has created a deeply involved body of work that has been widely featured in print, fabric, large-scale installations, and animation.

Virgin. Acrylic & Oil on Canvas, 60 x 52", 2010
James Jean describes virgin as quiet, hidden, loneliness, sadness and mysterious.

this is his art work in 2011, it's called :
Lotus War S/S Color. Digital and Ink on Silk, 36 x 36", Edition of 50, 2011. Produced by OVM

his art work in 2010 looks colorless which is very different from  his art work in 2011.
