Radio Rontronik was started as a “mixtape” of sorts and has since expanded to be a podcast. RR consists of recordings of DJsets from live events as well as in-studio sessions plus Brand and creative collaborations (Flocks Shoes, Batowl, Igloom Magazine, etc.). Look out for #45 next month.

All of us are still in shock because of the massive earthquake and tsunami that has struck the Tohoku area, Japan on 11 March. The victims in Japan are still facing the dangers of radiation after the series of explosions at the Japanese nuclear power plant, and also aftershocks. There are many Japanese who came to NY to fulfill their dreams; as artists, designers, chefs, entrepreneurs, or businessmen. Our people have been the suffering in Japan. Living and working far away from home, we may find it difficult to find a way to support the country of Japan. However, we came to NY for a reason.. So I realized that although we are separated by a great distance, there are many things we can do from here.. We should express our love and support with our expertise that we have learned here to help Japan…

“With major tragedies, sometimes it is hard to find your way to contribute. For me, I would like to bring people together. Japan, NY, or wherever you live in the world, we can be united. Looking forward to seeing you all!!! If you can’t make it, please pass this info to your friends!” — Hinako Sugioka Israel

It’s always a pleasure to speak about graphic design to college students, whether it’s a conversation on the philosophy behind our work or latest technical developments in the field. In the last few years, we have spoken to undergrads as well as continuing ed students. Ranging from Mott Community College in Flint, MI. to Parsons School of Design in New York, NY.
