As far as holiday cards go, this pop up card is the bee’s knees. Designed by PCP and assembled by Shingo Yasutomo … hand made and limited to 100…. thanks PCP, we love it!!

Breakfast at Madame Matisse…. Chris loving the orange syrup on top of french toast.

This show at La Luz De Jesus Gallery is great. Mark Todd has some big pieces on wood, smaller framed pieces, most are reinterpretation of comics in his very spontaneous style. Catalina Estrada also showing very beautiful, detailed work. While you’re there, get lost in all of the stuff at Wacko’s…. get lost in the toys.

Good friend Chris Bettig will be showing work, along with Rachel T. Robertson, opening this Friday at Harmony Gallery in Los Feliz, Los Angeles. I guess it’s a bit of preview of a bigger show that will happen in 2008. Harmony Gallery, 5911 Franklin Ave. Hollywood, CA 90028

GM Nievesbook, originally uploaded by poketo.

Geoff McFedtridge and Nieves Books, what a perfect combo. I ordered this book, got it pretty fast. This is full of GM’s drawings, super rad. All of the books are affordable, makes me want to collect them all. A few other to pick up are from Yukari Miyagi, Takashi Homma (which I found in Tokyo about a year or two ago, beautiful photographs), and P.A.M.

Poketo visited Sonyon Studios in Seoul. Bomin here is a prolific artist, product designer, and entrepreneur… he and his partner are jumping into curatorial, opening their current studio into a gallery and moving their production into another space. Here is a cool profile with them in Theme Magazine. We’ll be visiting them again soon These guys are rad and super nice.

From the studio of headphonerecords, Nathalie Roland, some monsters for your Halloween.

Friend and artist Hannah Stouffer has opened up a boutique, Studio 3579 in San Francisco. She has joined two other designers and opened up this space for jewelry, home, and fashion. Hannah has a bunch of new Poketo wallet designs that are not yet on the site and has her new tee design she did with Poketo, made of bamboo and organic cotton!
