In Memory of Nagi Noda



It is with great sadness that I pass on this news. This past Sunday the super talented Japanese artist, designer and director Nagi Noda passed away. If you are not familiar with her amazing body of work, please take a moment to view it here. Please join me and light a candle or some incense in her memory (Japanese tradition). My deepest sympathies go out to all those who knew her.
