I guess not many people knows that it is Japanese who makes this statelessness magazine "Tiger". Not only a production of "Tiger", but also he creates works for overseas magazines and his working place is now world widely expanding. He participates in the web cinema "Trunk" as an art director as well. SOUND REPUBLIC VOL.4 The fourth round of "Sound Republic" was held at Think Zone in Roppongi, Tokyo on the 1st of March under the theme "collaboration with the electro media and creators from various genres." There was a downpour on the event day but the number of visitors reached to about 900 and they enjoyed a mixed space of high quality sounds and motions. Featuring artists are Funkstorung, Akufen, Unit9, Fixer, Klock, Jonny Hardstaff and others. DOT SOSO#12 FEAT. ATSUSHI TOYAMA "Dot Soso" is a creative event where you can enjoy a creative atmosphere with some nice food drinks. It is held once a month and features interesting guests both from Japan and abroad. A guest for "Dot Soso #12" was an illustrator Atsushi Toyama from Tokyo. From illustrations for magazines, such as "Casa Brutus" and "relax", producing home pages to editorial designs (magazines, books etc.), he is making various works. A collaboration with Ado Mizumori at "Versus Exhibition 2001" (at Shibuya Parco) was very prosperous. He must be a new and powerful illustrator you have to put your keen eyes on.
