It’s toy time again.
This time I present to you the mighty Yod!
Yod is the latest creation from my favourite British artist James Jarvis and was produced by Amos Toys.
Despite his simple appearance Yod has a wealth of back story. Yod’s shape was apparently produced using a complex and mystical mathematical formula…
Either way, Yod’s simple design brings back memories of childhood TV characters and showcases Jarvis’ ability to create lovable characters with the simplest of strokes.
Though sold out in the UK, Yod can still be purchased from Amos Japan and is available in 6 tasty flavours.

Gravityのこれからの活躍については、このブログを要チェック!
The Art of Gravity Part II came to a close on Sunday.
All in all it proved to be a very successful week, both in terms of visitor numbers and sales.
We were also featured on local TV and interviewed live on the radio!
A great time was had by all, thus securing the continuation and expansion of the Gravity project.
Many thanks to everyone who took the time to come down and see the show, and of course to all the members for their hard work.
Watch this space for more action in the near future.
Gravity展第二弾が月曜日(10/8)から始まります。
Be there or be square(直訳:つまらない人間になりたくなかったら、必ず来ること)
皆さん、遊びに来てくださ~い。
A few weeks ago friend and fellow Gravity member Takeshi Shimatani recruited me to design some packaging for his jewellery. Takeshi hand makes highly detailed silver accessories under his Snug Stain label. The pieces I helped design packaging for are all highly detailed miniature replicas of motorbike parts, such as pistons and sparkplugs.
I went with the idea of creating parodies of existing product packaging. The real challenge was making the packaging look as dirty as possible, which was Takeshi’s one stipulation.
After playing around with some new functions on Illustrator, I finally managed to come up with some pretty convincing oil and dirt effects.
Please note that each box has different dirt!
Takeshi is not the only one who is a stickler for detail…
The Gravity show starts on Monday.
Be there or be square.
