mind-boggling thoughts

Ji Mi's Cartoon

Beyeah loves Jimi's cartoon. I was first introduced to some of his drawings when I wnet back home for Christmas in 2003. Since he was a big hit already at that time, a lot of his cartoons were made  as Calendar's backgrounds. (I really wonder whether all those companies paid for the copyright to use his drawings).

His official website is www.jimmyspa.com . His drawing is actually a little bit westenized, at least the ones I have seen. Most of his cartoon stories imply wise theory.

First time I saw this cute doggy piggy bank in a friend's house.  (Of course I tried to steal it. But I didn't succeed.) Then occassionally I saw it on taobao.com (I think it belongs to msn China). It is about RMB 65. And 布布 has a nice shop and description about this product. It has the following description:

Tapas，Livinggear和Timestone系列家居精品，是香港Gear Atelier公司旗下的三个品牌，荣获无数设计奖项，其作品曾被法国卢浮宫博物馆、纽约现代艺术博物馆及日本大阪Suntory博物馆展示和收藏。

I tried to track down the official site. Grea Atelier leads me to  http://www.longford.com.hk/ However, it doesn't have any photo of their products. I tried Tapas, Livinggear and Timestone and it leads me to http://www.livinggear.com/default.htm but it is the same as the first one. I was a little disappointed. I want an official website that has good photos and descriptions of those adorable products!

Then I tried to track down the designers' portfolio but failed again. From the 布布 shop, I know that the top designers for Grea Atelier are 陈瑞麟 and 黄美瑜。I checked but only get to this website to talk about some Hong Kong designers ( http://hkdesign.tdctrade.com/chi/designer.asp?Page=2#Des33 ).

GEYE

What is GEYE?

Actually GEYE was from tt, he named all those girly stuffs I have as "geye." It is a nice cute name. And when I constanly look at this sort of things, I would like to organize them in a place (well, I admit sometimes I am a bit organizing freak).

Cute Monkey
The three wise monkey by room interior products (sadly, this company's url no longer works)
See the three cute monkey below:

Besides they are very soft stuffed animals, they have magnate in their hands, so it is cute to position them in different post.

Cute Robots
http:/www.kidrobot.com
Please be selective with the above website, I don't like some of their products - too ugly or too violent. However, I do like the creativity or imagination the artist have on those toy robots. [email protected] series are one of my favarite (monkey and bear). I especially love the idea that you can buy a white/plain one (the DIY Monkey/Bear *8 inch Qee) and use your own creativity to paint it over.
That is why I sent the
