Today Sydney’s Via Alley launched a super-rare ‘pop up’ store selling a range of 60 carefully selected GRANIPHgraniph tees. Via Alley is ‘the result of an admiration for artists and designers who are proud of who they are, passionate about what they do, who are talented and are willing to give it their all to fulfil a dream’. It’s the first time ever that GRANIPHgraniph tees have been stocked outside of Japan, and the popular art-infused tees are available from Via Alley for a limited time only. [see also Toi Creative]

Struth! We’re now stocking the beautifully designed and overtly Australian range of products by Aussie illustrator, Eamo. Perfect for those of us living abroad, who miss the taste of Vegemite and the smell of the beach, or those whose fleeting connection with the big brown land has left them longing for more.
We’re now stocking your creations
Our online store has been kicking along nicely for a while now, featuring prints by Andy Smith [pictured], tees by Das Monk and jewellery by This Charming Man to name a few. We have visitors from all across the globe and some of our pieces have been racing out the virtual door faster than we imagined possible. Aw, shucks! Now it’s your turn. If you design, create, or distribute products and artwork that fits with our style, and you’d like to see your goodies stocked on our shelves in time for Christmas, drop us a note introducing yourself and we’ll take it from there. Psst … we’re planning some Christmas gift ideas and subscriber offers too. We reckon you’ll like them.
The knuckle sandwich charm necklace by This Charming Man features two pieces of bread on either side of a tiny set of brass knuckle dusters. Rad huh? Get yours now for $140.

Yeah very cool tees! ‘Tis a shame, but that’s the nature of collaboration I suppose… Limited runs, sought-after pieces and someone always misses out. While it’s bad in some respects, it also makes the tees even more special… if you get what I mean.

Thanks all for the kind words! Initially was just a chit chat in graniph Japan office, we weren’t expecting they are ok’d for us to do this.
Just to clarify: it’s the first time graniph officially venture outside Japan. You may find a few un-official graniph tees in stores in HK, Korea, Singapore at a marked-up price.

HAVE YOUR SAY
Christopher LaMarca has been photographing activists and loggers since the summer of 2003. Of his Forest Defenders series, he says: ‘My connection to this project revolves around the passion and endless work that consumes these people who live in the back-country for months at a time; and who are willing to sacrifice their comforts’ to stand up for their beliefs. Although these activists are often seen as radicals or eco-terrorists, little has been documented about their activities outside of these stereotypes. These stunning landscapes will continue to be decimated due to political pressure and lack of education, these are some of last truly wild places left in America’.
This café, cookie shop, ice cream place in Cobble Hill Brooklyn is all about flavor, aroma and family. Their cookies and ice cream are absolutely to-die-for, and the place is so well-designed, painted in vintage colors with old family pictures printed on the walls, that you’ll want to indulge yourself for more than just a few minutes. Try their Whoopies and Lucia cookies. They’re my favourite.

I’ve yet to find out what they put in the water in Germany that generates such a consistently rich stream of good electronica. Carrying the torch at the moment is Hendrik Weber, aka Pantha du Prince, whose early 2007 release, This Bliss, landed on my doormat with a deep bass-kick and hasn’t left my iPod since. Read more
