REMO JUDGES DRAIN COVERS, THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WATER

I was recently asked to be a Judge for Singapore, Wonderful World Of Water Competition, because of my book Drainspotting. The Singapore council, after being influenced by Japanese Drain Covers and my Book Drainspotting contacted me in regards to this honorable position. Kelveen Soh, one of the organizers, told me that they decided to have a competition to invite designers to send in submissions for Drain Covers for Singapore. They are trying to raise awareness and activate the community around Singapore to be involved in reshaping their environment.
I was honored to be asked to be a judge. Check website below for entries and winners.

MY LATEST TITLE TO BE RELEASED JUNE 2010

MENKO Literally meaning "small object with a face" the game of menko has existed in Japan for over 250 years. Children play it by throwing a card against another in an effort to flip it or knock it out of a ring. Victory is based on who has knocked the most cards out at the end of the game.

The earliest figures depicted on menko pieces were ninjas and samurai; later fighter jets and tanks became popular. As outside influences were imposed on Japan, menko cards reflected Western culture from baseball to Mickey Mouse along with, of course, Japanese popular culture figures. Menko: Art of the Japanese Game Card colorfully documents the graphic history of this traditional pastime, which is still played today and was the inspiration for the wildly popular Pog. This is my latest addition to the growing titles from Mark Batty Publisher and is available now as a pre order and physically in june 2010.
