Kitaro KOUSAKA produces some beautiful work. I watched half of ‘Princess Mononoke‘ last night and was impressed with the quality of the animetion. It looked like ‘Spirited Away‘, another beautiful anime film. I did a little sniffing around and found that it was a combinatioon of Kitaro KOUSAKA as Animation Supervisor and Hayao MIYAZAKI detailed and original story and direction.
I shall hunt down some more their work. Of note ‘Whisper of the Heart’ and ‘Castle in the Sky’ look good.
Wouldn’t it be good to have a website that lists zines as they come out and give you some way of getting a copy if your not in their city? Maybe just a postal address to write to get a copy or the site could charge postage and organise and send it. You’d have to be a real zine nut to do that however. If it become popular you could charge a $1 per post. Maybe get the ‘work-for-the-dole’ people to do it for you? You could offer subscriptions to certain zines and post em automatically.
Like the equivalent of a small record company but for zines. Just a random thought…
I really like Tord Boontje’s Wednesday light. It reminds me of the streetlights in Surry Hills in Sydney. They create a space for themselves, a stage that you can enter.
