hello there~


we've got a new cast of creatures named Skullmates. not much is known about them yet. to you, that is. this teaser was made for Motionographer's F5 conference in NYC this past April. it's aggressively fast, produced pro-bono, and meant to leave you uncomfortably weirded out. the teaser features Wurma, Vudu and Dublo, who are all based off of a human skull base. expect to see Skullmates popping up in other mediums in the pretty near future.

the COMING SOON's are now available.

HOMOGENY, a collaboration with ROYAL ELASTICS

August 21,2008 20:43:01

 


HOMOGENY is collaboration between Nanospore and Royal Elastics - set for a Fall '08 release. it features our little nameless friend, which serves as a symbol of the similarity in structure between organs or parts, possibly of dissimilar function, that are related by common descent. Light and dark. Color and monochrome. Land and sea. Love and hatred. Joy and pain.


it is also a hidden metephor for the unusual harmony between Royal Elastics and Nanospore.

one of the 2 designs will come randomly in a custom Royal Elastics blisterpack that will additionally include a pair of the Nanpospore Sosei shoes, t-shirt, extra large handkerchief, stickers and god knows what else.

we'll also have a few of the toys available [minus the blisterpack] on the webstore. they'll be sold as a pair, because the fun factor about these is that u get to jigsaw them together with a loving embrace and create a completely new silhouette.

META7 by Paul Hwang / Nike Asia Pacific

October 31,2006 06:00:31


 Oct 31 - Nov 5, 2006


Debuting in Tokyo Designers Week, Tokyo, Japan


To celebrate the release of the new Nike Free Trainer 7.0, Nike invited Nanospore creator Paul Hwang to apply his touch. The commissioned film is part of Nike Asia Pacific's Premium Performance campaign, very much in the same vein as the Nike Art of Speed and Adicolor films.


Personifying the key facets of the Nike Free Trainer 7.0 [free sole, lateral stability, and foot strengthening] are three mild-mannered characters who transform into super powerful beings. Paul's animated short film, print campaign, and 3D sculpts submerge them in the urban playground of a Taiwanese city pulling influences from Sistine Chapel paintings and Chinese Tapestries. More information to come.
