I'm a Chicago designer who graduated from Columbia College May 2010. I believe inspiration comes from unexpected places, and therefore it is necessary to look beyond the familiar to bring new ideas to light. This Tumblr allows me to record my discoveries in hopes of providing some nugget of truth or inspiration to the next fellow.

Untitled Ken Kagami (Tokyo, Japan)
Kagami’s distinctive works are characterized by their simple expression of conflicting ideas. Pure and virginal plastic and soft toys created for babies and children are boldly combined with objects, which represent sex violence and excrement. These two worlds, which naturally never crossover, merge and transform objects into giggle-inducing, amiable, yet bizarre pieces of art which invoke a horrific, natural human instinct. This is achieved through Kagami’s sharp sense of color, form and pure ideas.
