mags & books: CLUTTER - No.1

Just what is Clutter Magazine? Well, according to the blurb on the first page, Clutter is "an indispensable guide to all things urban vinyl and toy chic" and we guess we'd have to agree. This really is a good read if you love Qees and all of the designer toys out there. Issue one showcases the work of Pete Fowler (Monsterism), Mark James (Cardboy), Le Messie (Imac.TV), Tado and many more.

Cute Dolls/Cute Stuff

Aranzi Aronzo is a company run by Mrs.Saito and Ms.Yomura. The company catch phrase is "cute, strange, cool, silly, a little bit horrible, stupid and comfortable'. Not quite as catchy as 'Nice to see you, to see you nice' but hey, it's about the goodies they produce and the style in which they are made which, for the most part can be described as kawaii, meaning 'Japanese cute' which the toys in both of these English text books certainly are. So, get your sewing kit out and start stiching - your take on these designs could well be the characters for the next big car ad, or at least a cute gift for your loved one :)
