Having the absolute best of both worlds, bordering the Pacific Ocean on one side and the pristine Rocky Mountains just a few hours drive away, Vancouver has the benefit of a great creative community. Vancouver-based designers are at the center of our latest Hypebeast Essentials feature as we link up with Vince Chan and Matt Miyagawa of Finale Design, one of Vancouver’s most respected in Kenta Goto of Brknhome and finally the man behind some of your favorite graphics as well as his own creative website, Jeff Hamada.

Pilot Fineliners
These are really great for inking really small details of a drawing before scanning them into the computer. I go through hundreds of these little guys.

Wacom Tablet
When I was working for Electronic Arts I got used to using a large tablet (these allow you to draw right onto your computer), so I ended up buying this gigantic 9×12 sucka for my home computer. If you love drawing you need one of these in your life!

Video Camera
This is like my first-born son. I bought this thing when I was in film school and I’ve probably shot a million bad movies with it since then. It used to be every indie filmmaker’s weapon of choice and it’s still worth picking up if you catch a cheap one on eBay.

Rogers Raisin Granola
More specifically Corn Flakes, Rogers Raisin Granola, and All-Bran. I eat this at like 2AM every night. If you bought that book “The Game” hoping to pick up chicks, you wasted your money! BOOM, this is it right here, this will give you that x-factor in the club I’m tellin you.

Moccasins
These are the most comfortable shoes EVER. They are great for walking around in but not so great for kicking people because they are too soft (and comfortable). Recommended for lovers not fighters.

    Mr. Hamada’s the real deal… super talented, hard working and equally grounded… if you didn’t know, now you know.
