FROM CARTOON NETWORK’S THE PROBLEM SOLVERZ
The Problem Solverz is a animated show currently running on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim and created by artist collective Paper Rad member Ben Jones. Filled with kinetic energy that’s at times based on an abstract animation and story lines, the show also follows simple cartoon cannons. The art style is hyper kinetic, colorful, with an original look and feel that fans of Paper Rad will recognize. This art exhibition will feature works created in the style of the program and it’s characters. View the entire exhibit.
** HOLIDAY DELIVERY DEADLINE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 18TH **

| Takashi Murakami is one of the founding members of the Superflat movement whose pop art work has been exhibited around the world. | Drag the Little Wanderer back a bit, let it go, and it propels itself across whatever flat surface you like. Stands about a foot tall and is altogether very cool. |
There are so many great Post It art works on the wall. Again, iPhone shots as I walked by the pieces. Imagine getting the Star Wars set below… very cool. Here’s the list of names and the place you can purchase something. At $20 for most of the regular size Post It works, it’s a great deal.
Saelee Oh below. That’s a nice piece.
Is that Lucy Liu? A couple of weeks back, I helped Lucy Liu with her purchases at GR. She wore no make up, looked awesome and was super low key. We joked around for nearly an hour and she was as down to Earth as anyone can be. It’s not the first time I’ve seen her at GR, and hopefully not the last.
See the set below.
Hong Kong movie freaks know that Terence Yin has acted for some of Asia’s coolest directors, including Yonfan, Takashi Miike, and Johnnie To. But he’s also a singer, and his new Transparent EP features world-class production by Dan The Automator. A serious follow-up to the The Heavenly Kings mockumentary (which Yin co-produced with his friends, co-stars, and boyband imposters Daniel Wu, Conroy Chan, and Andrew Lin to skewer Hong Kong’s celebrity-driven, cookie-cutter pop music industry), the seven songs have dark lyrics, complex arrangements, and serious beats—not to mention hints of dark wave, dub, and even Britpop.
Although I hadn’t talked to the philosophy major from Berkeley in years, I had to reach out find out how this cool project, which was produced by Wu’s Revolution Management company, came together.
