In 2003 I heard the original designer of Hello Kitty, Yuko Shimizu speak at the TOKION Creativity Now conference. I was shocked that she didn’t make a penny in royalties, as she created the character while an employee of Sanrio.
Yuko Yamaguchi, who has designed Hello Kitty for 29 of the character’s 35 years, says Kitty did not gain in popularity until the mid-1980s.
…and now you know.
I don’t understand why they don’t sell this in Japan yet.

MAN, all the visual puns I could do with that plate… Needs salt / pepper / something else shakers that spell out “etc.”
I would just like to point out the difference between the global website for Slik (a popular tripod manufacturer) and its localized Japanese site. Wow.
Freaking love this bag: it’s actually a carrying bag for smaller DSLRs, designed by Akihiro Kumagaya (who is only two years older than me?!) and commissioned by Olympus. It is all I can do to NOT order this $200 overblown case… or maybe I should just give in to compulsive consumerism and spend my Japanese stimulus money on it.
Wood geek lust: freaking BEAUTIFUL roll top writing desk with amazing lines and detailing (sounds like I’m gushing about a car). And at $8,600 USD, it looks absolutely stunning in my dreams.
1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you’re done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more.
