The Tokyo.Interactive.Ad.Awards took place last month and I just wanted to go over some of the more spectacular entries in case anyone missed it. Receiving all-around nods from the judges was the UNIQLOCK, from our favorite Japanese retailer Uniqlo, and created by Projector Inc.

If you want to know more about it I suggest you watch the highly entertaining presentation HERE.

Otherwise, you can download the widget/screensaver HERE.

I love this Steadman drawing of Hunter S. Thompson, journalist and author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Gonzo, a documentary about the man, opens this week (featuring Jimmy Carter, Johnny Depp and others)!!

I forgot to include this in my post from earlier this week!
