The New Gambit, Priority One: get a huge logo on the wall.
Fun fact: TNG’s logo was designed by Yiying Lu, creator of the Twitter Fail Whale (and now Creative Director of Walls360).
Pictured here admiring the logo, and very probably wondering what he’s got himself into, is NSFW Corp. backer Tony Hsieh.

HELLO WORLD!
WALLS 360 on TUMBLR: Walls360.Tumblr.com
Couple days ago of this time last year, I recieved an email from a friend of mine Scott Beale a.k.a ”primary tentacle” and founder of Laughing Squid - one of my favorite art, culture & technology blog - said the 16th of Nov 2010, would the 15th birthday of Laughing Squid!
So I decided to work on a piece of art, dedicated to Laughing Squid.
And here it was!
Now I’m looking at my iCal:
Holy Moly! Today is Nov 16th again, only difference is it’s 2011!
Instead of creating a difference piece of art this year - i simply wanted to share the sketch of last year’s artwork - this black & white pencil sketch:
A lot of times, we care too much of the end result and forget to take time to enjoy the process. Even it’s unfinished, rough and unrefined…
Plus, it would be funny to say: “Hey Scott, last year I did a piece of artwork for Laughing Squid, but this year all I have is this lousy sketch!” ;-)
Last Dec and this Feb, this piece of artwork has been exhibited in both San Francisco Hotel des Arts: WALLS 360 ART For Everywhere and New York Gallery Bar: Yiying Lu x WALLS 360 Shorty Art Show; which coincidentally reflected the 2 main tentacles in the art work SF + NY!
A year passes by, I decided to dig out this old sketch and past art show photos as a birthday present for Laughing Squid; and to share with you all…
… as well as this quick thought: Art is an experience…
a spark of a thought, a history of creating, a process of making, a piece of memories, a second of resonance，a story…
I was joking to Scott Beale, “Since Laughing squid is born on the Nov 16th, you should have named it Laughing Scorpion!”
I open up the window, there is the seashell castle.
sound of the ocean.
sigh of sea.
Holy Moly, i haven’t blogged for almost a year (one day short)!
Perhaps it’s time to Tumblr again! ;-)
Oh, so wish this could become a world-wide trend. “Fast Lane”: Giant playground slide into Alexanderplatz U-bahn Train Station in Berlin.
A fun Volkswagen Ad.
Love this kind of Ads, reminds me of Rory Sutherland’s: Life lessons from an ad man on TED Talks, where he suggested Advertising adds value to a product by changing our perception, rather than the product itself.
And love this great quote from the talk - “Poetry is when you make new things familiar and familiar things new.” which indeed is a definition of what GOOD advertising does - Just like Sutherland suggested - to help people appreciate what is unfamiliar, but also to gain a greater appreciation, and place a far higher value on those things which are already existing.
Another idea worth spreading. ;-)

Noticed that was at 4:04 of the Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall
I saw this:
Since I was a contributor to Faces in Places, thought it would be fun to have a collection of this 404 faces!
Some collection on top of my head I have come across from my friends -
Pink Floyd Bittergourd with a bit of mix of Fujiya Peko chan (see candy package below) from Barry Colman
the pink tongue just reminds me of Peko Chan so much.
Screaming Oreo from my friend Chen Chang, I’d send a pack of that if I’d ever go and pay a visit to Edvard Munch’s tombstone…
