Saturday, December 6, 2008
STRANGEco has the nicest staff on earth, seriously. Bambi probably had to let a bunch of people down easy that James Jarvis’ Martin X SE figure sold out on Black Friday and didn’t make it to VTN as part of the previously announced exclusives.

Wednesday, September 24, 2008
James Jarvis’s Bird God is a cover model! Yup, instead of seeing a waif like model, one of usual suspects on the glossy magazines front like Giselle, Gwenyth, or (fill in blank of “it girl” of yesterday or today), the English magazine Computer Arts Projects, well they don’t go that way. Instead they opted [...]

I don’t know what these are about, but I like them. James Jarvis posted a few of these on his blog. I don’t know if these are posters or public service announcements. I just know that they’re very cool, and I want the one above. The characters look a bit Yod-ish but they also different. [...]

Monday, June 30, 2008
First thought: a cruel PhotoShop prank. Second thought: collaboration of the year. Final thought: tribute. This weekend, the above images [source = Tomm] made the Internet rounds. They prophesized a sample figure “not for sale only for you” bearing the initials M.F.J.K. Quick thinkers interpreted the code as Michael Lau, Futura, James Jarvis and [...]
