Paper Cutting Installation Work “BACK TO THE FUTURE”

Nod Young created this “future” letter to give to his past self, separately enclosing puzzlement, blessings, genes, codes, messages and photos, and from these clues and pieces of information “the other Nod Young” can reopen and reorder these revelations from the future, and when he believes that this letter comes from a parallel world, the letter then becomes a mission from the “future”—to “prove the future.”

Fly the Skies With Your Design – ANA Design Contest

Japanese airline, ANA (All Nippon Airways) has recently announced a Design Contest to let the public design the livery for one of its Boeing 767-300 jumbo jets! The contest is launched in commemoration of ANA’s upcoming 60th anniversary. Anyone, – regardless of age, nationality, or artistic skill – is free to submit a design for consideration. Kids of all ages can even download and print out a blank airplane template and ‘paint’ the plane with crayons. They can then scan and upload their creative genius, or even send their drawings to ANA by snail mail (normal post). Some of the more skilled artists may prefer to do it all digitally using their favorite digital drawing software package. So, all of you talented Chinese and Asia Pacific designers… what are you waiting for? Get to drawing!
