I've always adored Nathalie Du Pasquier's print designs since I was first introduced to the Memphis movement of the 80's, of which she was a founding designer. The simple, bold and slightly odd geometric combinations, perfect colour schemes and timeless nature of the prints (well, for me anyway) just win in every way. I would even go so far as to say she's my favourite print designer. Here's a selection of my favourite patterns.

My Tokyo App for iPad

My Tokyo App for iPad

 

Another hiatus! Even though I don't like being too busy to blog, these little absences are always warranted. In this case, I've just released an iPad app.

You may remember (some of you may have even purchased) this little zine I created back in 2009? Well, it has metamorphosed into something far bigger than I ever imagined. Together with Omnomnom Studios, we've been silently slogging away on a comprehensive iPad version of My Tokyo for the last year; me living in Tokyo taking photos and authoring the content, and Omnomnom in Sydney designing and developing the program itself.

It's great to finally see it online and downloadable, and we've already received some wonderful press from Tokyo Weekender and Tokyo Indie, with the reviews slowly trickling in.

The app is a constantly evolving project for us, and we're hoping to get an iPhone version done pretty soon, along with a bunch more exciting features. But for now, if you have an iPad, you can go and grab it!
