IdN Extra 01: From Sketch to Production
The making of a work of art: 50+ creatives brought together by the Cut&Paste competition review their own efforts, revealing the choices they made along the way — the inspirations, the mental blocks, the wrong tunings, the serendipitous discoveries. And how they might do it all again in a different medium if they had the chance.

Tewz in Tokyo.
This is in Nakano … one of my favorite places in Tokyo!
It was 5 levels of randomess!
Most floors have these glass cases filled with collectibles.
But then I saw this mask on the wall of this shop …
I asked the shop keeper how much it was …
He started pulling all these masks out for me …
It was kind of amazing …
And then he gave his personal book full of Masks!?!?!
There are rooms full of vending machines that
give different toy capsules.
For example …
This is Shinjuku, 2 million people pass through here everyday!
