As you may have noticed we at Kobayashi studios are science fanatics. Now, here’s the story of this American professor who claims he’s building a tiny time machine that will be ready to use not far from now. Crazy idea? Never know. We tend to stand on the side of the nutty professors with crazy ideas and boiling glass tubes, because, a: we are hopeless romatics, and, b: Wasn’t Jules Verne almost lynched for believing we could fly to the moon?

Aside from creating their own work, and showing it on here, the Kobayashi group trolls the ‘net for all eye and ear candy to share with you. Music, art, design, film, and fun: you name it! Every day new posts, every day Archibald Kobayashi more

The Pedestrian Project
Ahhh a nightmare! They came climbing off their public signs and are now terrorising the world! Aaaarghl… Noooh, its just The Pedestrian Project, created by a New Yorker Artist/Costume Designer, called Yvette Helin. More pix here.

The Designers Republic Is Dead
Well known and much copied design firm The Designers Republic closed their doors after 23 years. DR’s Ian Anderson: “We’d lost a couple of clients, didn’t win a couple of pitches, got a tax bill which should have been sorted out and wasn’t and a major client who didn’t pay the money they owed us – in themselves any of those things would have been fine but when they come all at once there’s not much you can do.”
We remember going to Hasselt (Belgium) with a mini van some 5 years back to view their exposition when they still were a blooming studio. Shame…

Bottoms up
Nice packaging design for a bottle of whisky in form of a doctor’s recipe or something.

Spending Time With Poster Boy
Check out this NY street artist who bombs the NY subways with a razor blade instead of spraycans. He cuts pieces from poster ads and switches them to create new images. Très frois!

But they give us joy (thanks Tim).

Souvenir de Chine
A kaleidoscope made of live animals. Now that’s what we call inventive. Körner Union thought so too and made this idea into a video clip for Larytta, trackname Souvenir de Chine.

Eyebrows Dance
Funny commercial for some kind of milk chocolate made by Fallon. Cool that they used 80s electro track Don’t Stop The Rock. We can’t figure out though if the eyebrow movement of the kids is real or ’shopped’? What do you think?

This is the end…

…my only friend, the end. A collection of ‘end’ shots of movies throughout the years.

Quite nice: Ideographic Alphabet
But then again.. what the hell are you going to do with it? Like: “Ahh, great, we created the whole alphabet using only a couple of chairs! …So.. what are we going to do now?”

Our plans for 2009
Hi there dear growing group of readers!
It’s time to share some of our plans for the future with you. First of all, a new website with new goodies is being build as we speak. Hopefully it will be ready before the end of january (probably not, but we’ll do our best). This new website will have, besides a fresh new layout, some new features. Like a podcast player. Yes, we are planning to go podcasting as well. The first one will be due the end of february when we will cover our trip to New York with some of the Archie’s friends.
Next to podcasts and our usual 2 posts every day (we try, we try) we will create more of our own. Like graphics, tunes, shortmovies, and mixtapes for the likes of you all. So if you’re interested keep posted and spread the word.
And offcourse many thanks for sharing, reading and commenting! And keep on tipping me!
Cheers, Archibald.

Best track ever, Part VIII: Illuminate
By Orbital with the voice of David Gray. We do not like David Gray to say the least, but this combination with Orbital makes it The best track ever!

Flexx.be
We remember buying some records of this Belgian (Turnhout) based Dj called Diepvries some years back. Back then had an idea to start an online vinyl record shop. Nowadays his shop has grown out to a international, well respected store where you can buy some exceptional vinyl and mp3’s. On top of that he started his own label. We like that ’stick to your plan’ kind of people who build stuff from scratch. Read his blog here.

Go and see: The Mutations
It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature… it can be HORRIFYING! A Scientist, played by good old Donald Pleasence, experiments with plants en humans. Horror form the seventies.
