Here’s a great documentary about graffiti. Infamy profiles the lives and ambitions of some of today’s most noted street artists. Jase, Saber, Earsnot, and Claw are just a few of the talents you’ll see in this flick. Someone was gracious enough to put the whole thing on youtube. If you like the movie, support the cats who made it and pick it up on DVD.

It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and watched some anime. I had the pleasure of seeing Akira on the big screen back in the early 90’s at the Film Forum, a movie which sparked my interest in the genre. What most people never heard of is a little movement from the early 80’s which pretty much revolutionized the way animation was drawn/produced. A group of friends holed up in a tiny apartment would animate the opening short film of a yearly sci-fi convention in Japan. They called themselves Daicon Film (later changed to Gainax), and their name soon became syonymous with some of the most amazing animated shorts ever seen at that period. They hand drew each frame, and when you watch these films its hard to believe it was 1983. Check it out here.

Hosted by industry gurus Jeff Carvalho, Rob Heppler, and Frank the Butcher, this show also serves up some great interviews with the likes of Dave White, Mr. Cartoon, Jeff Staple, Stash, Dave Ortiz, and David Gensler. They don’t update as much as I’d like, but it’s always a great morning when the updating icon pops up next to Weekly Drop in the iTunes playlist.

Wow, and I thought I was a Nintendo fan. This guy has a license from Nintendo to make limited edition t-shirts based on famous characters from the 8-bit generation. He also occasionally does work for Sega. These shirts will run you a few dollars and you’ll have to import from Japan. If you happen to be in NYC however, Nintendo World New York City usually has a few in stock and is the only place you can buy them in the US.

Electronic Plastic, designed by Buro Destruct, is a great book featuring tons of info and photos all about the history of hand-held electronic games. The writing is what you’d expect, but the pictures and design more than make up for it.
