The Scarecrow: Chipotle Mexican Grill by MOONBOT Studios
MOONBOT studios Office Tour from Moonbot Studios on Vimeo.
Created in collaboration with Chipotle Mexican Grill, “The Scarecrow” is an arcade-style adventure game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and a companion animated short film. Both pieces depict a scarecrow’s journey to bring wholesome food back to the people by providing an alternative to the processed food that dominates his world. The film’s soundtrack is a re-interpretation of “Pure Imagination,” performed by Fiona Apple.
The film is set in a dystopian fantasy world where all food production is controlled by a fictional industrial giant Crow Foods. Scarecrows have been displaced from their traditional role of protecting food and are now servants to the crows and their evil plans to dominate the food system. Dreaming of something better, a lone scarecrow sets out to provide an alternative to the unsustainable processed food from the factory. In the game, players will accompany the Scarecrow on his journey through four levels and deliver fresh food to the City of Plenty’s citizens.

A Redesign of Nike’s London HQ
While Nike‘s sprawling Beaverton campus represents a pinnacle of sorts for the contemporary and modern workplace, the sportswear giant’s London digs look to be on par with that of the American HQ thanks to a recently completed redesign at the hands of London-based hybrid creative agency Rosie Lee. Tasked with updating Nike’s London headquarters, Rosie Lee drew inspiration from the brand’s timeless designs for the facelift. The result is a bevy of individual product-inspired spaces across the HQ’s three floors as everything from Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon to the FuelBand and iconic footwear silhouettes are referenced throughout the colorful, collaborative environment.

I Am Street Fighter: 25th Anniversary Documentary
TECH2 Article –
It’s been 25 years since the fighting game genre was more-or-less codified by Street Figther, and to commemorate the occasion, Capcom teamed up with gaming video group Area 5 to make a documentary. It’s titled I Am Street Fighter – 25th Anniversary Documentary.
The documentary is essentially a love letter to all things Street Fighter. It goes in-depth into the history of the franchise and even has fans of the games, such as Clarence Lim, collector and cosplayer, talk about their childhood experiences with Street Fighter 2. The documentary covers fans and developers from all sides of Street Fighter, including art designers who were responsible for Street Fighter 2 HD Remix as well as the original sound director for Street Fighter 2.
Over the years, there have been quite a large number of mainline Street Fighter games. The number goes even higher when you start counting the Vs and X games, such as SNK vs Capcom, Marvel vs Capcom or Street Fighter X Tekken.

KAWS Talks Brooklyn, the VMAs, and His Redesign of the Moonman
Redesigning an icon…
The Moonman award is synonymous to the VMAs for the last three decades, how does it feel given the chance to iterate the iconic trophy?
It’s a great opportunity. I’m happy that MTV reached out to me, it’s truly an honor. They were also sort of doing it in my neighborhood, and to be able to be the artist that redesigns the stage and iconic award is a lot of fun. We have a place three blocks from here in Brooklyn and then my studio is in Williamsburg.
Having predominantly worked in the realms of fashion and art, how does sculpting for a music audience alter your approach?
My approach is to always just to think of the work itself and let it reach who it reaches. It will be great that it’ll reach a lot households due to MTV’s wide platform.
Keeping it KAWS…
What were some of the elements you wanted to do when you were asked to actually design the trophy?
The Moonman is iconic, so I wanted to make sure the approach was something that is an instant read, but also instantly recognizable as KAWS and I think we were able to accomplish that.
You’ve also been asked to design the stage setup for the show, which includes a 60-foot KAWS Moonman. This comes reminiscent of the KAWS GISWIL sculpture. What’s the motif behind presenting your work in such large scales?
Just working really closely with MTV, we were able to kind of figure out how to execute it large. When I was making the piece, I was just actually just making it on a small scale. These days if you can make something small, you can make it large with all the technology.
Moonman versus a toy, is it the same approach?
Yes, it’s essentially the same process. Designing a sculpture, designing a toy, designing a trophy. You’re just thinking visually.
Any pressure behind working on this project?
No, not too much pressure. I’m the only one that can only make the work I make, from there I just kind of let the chips fall where they do.

El Camino Food Truck Branding by Savvy-Studio
EL CAMINO — FOODTRUCK from Savvy Studio on Vimeo.
Words from Savvy-Studio –
El Camino Foodtruck is our answer to Monterrey’s gastronomic needs. Its menu caters for all tastes, ranging from vegetarian options to delicious Texas-style hamburgers and sandwiches. The spanish/english combination in its name is a play with words which aims to communicate these flavours.
For this project we developed and exhaustive graphic language which is constantly growing. The aim is to make the Foodtruck very recognisable through its easily identifiable graphic style. Americana and biker tattoos are two strong influences, expressing the truck’s rough and Texan personality in an appealing way. El Camino Foodtruck is a tribute to an artisanal approach, from the meticulous preparation of the food it serves to the creation and implementation of its visual language that was conceived in pencil and paper and later hand drawn directly on the truck.

From the Floor of Agenda Las Vegas
Hypebeast article and photos –
Last Monday marked the opening day and the inaugural showing of Agenda Las Vegas as the 10-year-old trade show further cemented its place and influence in the street and action sport worlds. Since day one, Agenda has provided a unique place of commerce and selling for what was originally a very niche segment of the fashion industry. However a quick look around and it’s easy to see that what Agenda has come to represent is in full force with several lifestyle activations that surround the prototypical buying appointments that represent trade shows.

The Wildly Functional Studio of Casey Neistat (Part 1-3)
GIZMODO Article –
Being creative doesn’t mean having access to the latest and greatest gear. It’s often a matter of thinking outside the box to find the best solution. Casey Neistat’s studio—including his self-built shooting table—is a perfect example of that.
Take a look at almost any of Neistat’s videos, and you’re likely to see that his creations serve a purpose. Customizability, durability, and economy are all at the forefront. In a recent tour of his studio, he showed us exactly how everything fits together.

A Last Look at the WTAPS Atelier
Hypebeast Spaces Article –
Imagine a single family whose members are all passionate about the exact same thing — that’s the environment any visitor would feel once they step foot inside the Jingumae Tokyo location of the WTAPS atelier. The large-by-any-standard studio houses the possessions and interests of WTAPS designer Tetsu Nishiyama, most of which have been influential in his designs throughout the brands extensive history. The majority of Tetsu’s items found within are daily-use artifacts, such as one of his custom-tuned motorcycles, his BMX and select skateboards, but with the exception of his massive CD, DVD, magazine and print collection to which he can reference if necessary. A drawing table, custom designed and made for the company, is centralized to promote an open-minded creative atmosphere through easy accessibility. The staff in the back room are able to concentrate on precision pattern-making, while the personnel in the main room are given ample desk space alongside the commander with no intimidating walls or doors separating them. Perhaps the most impressive showcase of camaraderie is during lunchtime, when the meals are collectively made in the common kitchen and eaten together every day of the week with no exceptions made. Such ideas of togetherness help solidify the qualities inherently found in the final products released by this near-literal family brand. In the very near future, WTAPS is slated to move offices, closing a chapter on one of it’s most important pieces of brand DNA.
