Shigeto Koyama’s Extensive Animated World is a Perpetual Work In Progress
Shigeto Koyama’s professional credits span the Evangelion movies, Promare, Kill la Kill, Gurren Lagann, Star Wars: Visions and Big Hero 6. Though he’s renowned for his work on some of Japan’s most notable animated projects, the project closest to his heart is the “CCMS” collective, an “extracurricular” venture, with graphic designer Tsuyoshi Kusano (BLEACH, Fullmetal Alchemist, THE IDOL M@STER) and art director Ai Nonaka (Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, WORKING!!, A Channel). What started entirely on a whim while Koyama and Kusano were working together on Stan Lee’s HEROMAN series in 2010 has expanded into its own universe completely independent of Koyama’s nine-to-five.Entitled SHIGETO KOYAMA CCMS experiment OBAKE, Koyama’s comprehensive “experiment” serves as his NYC debut display – as well ...

Through the Lens: Hassan Hajjaj
Home has always been a nebulous concept for Moroccan artist, Hassan Hajjaj. Born in 1961 in the fishing town of Larache, Hajjaj and his parents moved to London when he was 13 as a way for his father to find steady work.
