On a jaunt to the Far East this summer, Lo's List discovered Line's Lab. Based in Macau, China, Line's Lab is a multi-disciplinary design hub innovating fashion, products, furniture and events. Founders Clara Brito and Manuel CS arrived from their native Portugal in 2006. With its Portuguese heritage and access to textiles and production houses in mainland China, Macau seemed like the perfect place to establish their biz. "China is evolving so quickly and creatively," Brito gushed at her studio. "To witness that and be a part of it is really inspiring."

It was at the local ice skating rink where I first battled Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. I would feed the game's coin slot with a bottomless pocket of quarters while destroying my pearly whites with Mike and Ikes and Hot Tamales.

We’ll be the first to admit it. Blogging at Lo’s List, it’s sometimes easy to get carried away in the pursuit of the top ten next best things. It’s easy to get caught on the twin, sophisticated prongs of design & marketing. Luckily, just when we need it, a site like Kiosk Store will pop up on our radar and rebuke the faster-better-brighter habits of our industry.

From: Tel Aviv (via Haifa) » Broken Fingaz Crew Sightings!

Lo Martin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:55:28 +0000

One of our hands-down favorite crews bombing the walls of Tel Aviv is the Haifa-based Broken Fingaz Crew. The 10-year-strong foursome (Tant, Unga, Dezo, and Kip) have a hypnotizing and intricate style which recalls 1960's psychedelic posters, old school American comics, and B-rated horror flick poster typography...

Well, it's old news that we're killing the planet and along with it, many of these adorable fuzzy creatures! Need some crappy stats to scare you into action? The Nonlife Zoo's mission statement is chock full of them. How about this doozy: "more than one kind of species vanishes from earth daily"...

Get it! The Beijing Taxi tee!

Eeek - I can hardly contain my delight! It's been an absolute madhouse of productivity here these past couple weeks & now all the goodies that were so diligently working on are coming to life! First up, this super soft gray tee with the Beijing Taxi logo that I designed as the film gears up for it's SXSW premier on the 15th! Miao Wang, the writer / director / producer behind the story of three cabbies making the shift between pre- and post-Olympic Beijing, is such a pleasure to work with and if any of you readers are in Austin between the 15th and 19th of March, be sure to finagle your way into one of the three screenings...

Robert Siegel Yellow Polka Dot Bowl

Totally in love with these stippled porcelain wares from Robert Siegel’s Etsy store! The small selection of hand-thrown and hand-painted polka-dotted vases, mugs, plates, and bowls are a downright bargain and a great addition to any spirited kitchen. After a year-long residency at the Sanbao Ceramic Art Institute in Jingdezhen, China, the ceramicist moved back to Philadelphia where he set up his studio and...

Big Screen » Q&A with Beijing Taxi’s Miao Wang

Lo Martin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:56:34 +0000

YZ and I have been busy working on the title sequences for Beijing Taxi, a documentary by Miao Wang's 3 Waters Productions which will be world premiering at this year's SXSW festival in the Documentary Features category. The film is stunning - telling the stories of three Beijing taxi drivers as they face the tremendous changes of the pre-Olympics city. Miao, the film's director and producer, took the time to answer some of our questions about the film and what it takes to drive a cab in the Chinese capital.
