What's Next?
I really like the idea of QR codes. For those of you who don't have an idea what they are, Hypebeast gave a pretty good definition. "Referred to as the barcode of the future, a QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a matrix code which allows its contents to be decoded at high speed." So in layman's terms, QR codes are a faster way to ring up and track merchandise. So why not embrace this new found technology as art? Well that is exactly what Takashi Murakami did and followed in hot pursuit by Marc Jacobs, with his version tittled “Miss Marc”. Just another way to incorporate fast paced marketing into something that is trivial to an American consumer, yet and exciting breakthrough to the Japanese market. Oh, how our worlds are different.
BEWARE OF PAW
The Coarse Toys figure was released Monday, June 29th at 10 am Hong Kong time at Coarse Toys online for $160 US. Unfortunately for us (us being the US), The paw! in the new Milky Bliss colorway (all white toy, pink accents, and blue eyes) is already sold out at the online store so it seems we will have to wait till it is available at the Taipei Toy Festival.
