Original Fake "Tic Tac Toe" Tee

Original Fake (the artist KAWS’ brand if you didn’t know already) has revealed a new graphic of what we assume to be a new t-shirt design. We’re really not sure what the graphic of this tee represents but we’re guessing its tic tac toe with eyeballs. We’re also guessing this t-shirt will be available at the Original Fake store very soon. There will be some really nice items from Original Fake this Spring so stay tuned for more info.

Any kid in Asia would have probably encountered the hit robot anime series, Gundam, while growing up. There was a time when we use to build Gundam models or play Gundam video games. Now, Bandai’s long lasting franchise has teamed up with Uniqlo to release some t-shirts and models for Spring ‘08 under the Gundam Project. Beginning March, you will be able to pick up some Gundam inspired t-shirts at the UT store. There will be a kids version (releases in March) as well as a adult version (releases in April).

Neighborhood Skull & Bones Incense Holder

The Japanese motorcycle inspired brand, Neighborhood, has released a Skull & Bones Incense Holder as part of their 2008 Delta collection. While this incense holder might look really cool, it lacks the ability to catch the ashes falling from your incenses thus creating a mess. Nevertheless, it does look really nice so if you don’t mind cleaning up after burning each and every incense, this might be for you. Available now at Cliffedge.
