In the manner of times past, it seems that sticking together and having a group of peers can lead to success in the arts world.  The 1960’s had the Rat Pack, the 1980’s the Brat Pack, we’re experiencing the Frat Pack as we speak but there’s a new pack emerging... and it’s brewing like an incoming storm. Today’s FFF goes...

With the above paragraph as a premise, we are unsure where Yoshiro Nakamatsu a.k.a. Dr NakaMats fits into that scale.  Wherever he...

The surprise that is involved in the exclamation of “what a small world!” seems to be inconsequential these days.  Saying it in the design world seems to be almost redundant, our circle isn’t so large, and it’s most certainly not as large as we often tend to think.
