Doraemon (ドラえもん), one of the most imaginative comics or cartoons in Japanese

manga history. The Japanese manga series were created by Fujiko F. Fujio and

first published in December 1969. Doreamon is a robotic cat that travels back in time

from the 22nd century to aid a schoolboy, Nobi Nobita, who actually is the person

that sent Doreamon from the future to save Nobi himself. Doreamon has unlimited

gadgets from the future to help Nobi, some magical tools like “Gulliver Tunnel’ (your body

would shirk down after passing through the tunnel), “Random Door” (you can go

anywhere you want by opening and walking though it), “Command Gun” (you can direct

people to do anything and they can’t reject), etc.



The following iPhone case was designed according to Doraemon’s “Randon Door”,

the door can be opened and turned into a stand. The design is pretty memorable

and functional, however, I still wish there could be a “random door” which could bring

people from one side to another side of an actual world instead of a virtual world.

Japanese beverage brand “Dydo” released a set of Dragon Ball “復刻堂 ドラゴンボール ”

drink last month. There are nine designs in total with different classic comic characters

from Dragon Ball printed on cans, definitely a must collection for Dragon Ball fans.

Emerging west coast based art-enthusiast accessories brand from Los Angeles,
Morphik has launched a line of designer wristbands featuring coveted limited edition artwork.
The artwork itself is meant to be mounted on the wall. It is basically a magnet and locks
into the bracelet or the art box magnetically. Some customer may buy just the artwork
and hang them in the house as the artwork comes with an very fine art box as if it is framed.
The prints are extremely detailed and made on the same paper you would find in a museum
as well as printed at 5760dpi. If you want to wear it, you just need to open the art box
and unlock the artwork from the chrome pedestal then lock it into the bracelet. Easy right?



Delivering pieces from the likes of painter Nathan Ota, photographer Jerry Uelsmann

graffiti artists Daim, Risk, Suiko, and other celebrated talents, the images are available

in limited numbers, and are licensed directly from the artists themselves. The artwork
can be matched with over 25 different bands which are Italian leather with stainless steel
components. It also comes with a booklet that has a bio on the artist plus the artist
thought about each of the 4 images that have licensed.
