Gifted photographer & architect Brandon Shigeta sent us even more great photos of the current Architecture for Dogs exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. This set includes stunning shots of the exhibition as well as some close-ups of the designs themselves. ...
The fifth Save Music in Chinatown benefit takes place in less than three weeks. But will anyone think about it over the holidays? Will it be more than an afterthought to stressing, shopping, and traveling? I hope so. My daughter's school Castelar Elementary still relies on private donations to pay for the defunded music program....
I was lucky enough to catch up with Alyasha Owerka-Moore recently, and find out about his latest endeavor, North Manual Vocational. A previous Imprint speaker, Aly has incredibly deep roots in the clothing game, having worked at giants like Phat Farm, and Mecca, co-founding seminal street/skate/snow crossover Alphanumeric, all before the Internet-driven "streetwear" boom. He...
2014 has been another exciting year for Imprint, with some great new speakers, successful events, new partnerships, fresh learnings, expanded networks, and much more. Much like last year, I asked the Imprint team to each choose one highlight from 2014, thinking we'd send the year off by featuring some of the best moments here. So...

Yes, I am a designer, but when I see a "How to" for designing, I'm so tempted to watch it anyway. Yeah, I paid for college, but come on, this is FREE design school, so how's it compare?! It's "Thought Provoking", because even if you're not a designer, I'd like to think these videos can...

The 25-minute documentary produced by Arbuckle Industries not only gives five architecture students the Spellbound or First Position treatment in an effort...
Ray Barbee has been a huge inspiration to me because we share the same interests. He is a professional skateboarder, musician and photographer based in Long Beach, CA. In this short film he did with Helio Collective and Leica camera, called “Let Us Roam”, he explains that you have to practice and put...
Last weekend, the latest Architecture for Dogs exhibition opened at the prestigious 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Project director Kenya Hara and Imprint's founder, Julia Huang, were on hand to participate in the opening event, and our talented friend Brandon Shigeta was also on hand to document everything in fine style. Stay tuned...
I've posted a few times on WestJet and the amazing ways that they have given back to their passengers during the holidays, but this year, UPS has definitely taken the crown for best holiday campaign. When four year old Carson was born he was unable to drink anything containing milk protein and had to rely...
