Scribbled Tiger
A new design from Onitsuka Tiger for the fall/winter collection is announced. Tiger has done a "rakugaki" treat-
ment to a selection of their classic footwear. Rakugaki is a Japanese term which roughly translates to "scribble"
or "doodle" and that's exactly this selection looks like. The Mexico ‘66 and the Samatore features high quality
leather uppers with a graph paper like print.
Also, take a look on their website. You can design and make your own custom origami tiger. Onitsuka has
collaborated with the most famous paper artist Shin Tanaka to create a unique origami design.

Hi Bren! Please introduce yourself!
BRENB was born in 1974 at a house called "Mum &

Dad's" in Dublin, Ireland. As a boy he watched too
much TV. But, as a girl he did write little plays which
to be fair to him was pretty creative. Then again he
did act out these plays by himself in the nearby park.
Which at the very least has probably led to him to
talking about himself in the third person.
He continues to work in solitude as an illustrator and
cartoonist.
I am very enjoyed your funky style illustration with
hand written typography. Is your style inspired or
influenced by anyone, anything?
Glad you enjoyed them. Yeah I love hand-drawn type.
As a cartoonist I’ve always been fascinated by the
combination of words and pictures. Artists like Dave
McKean, Henry Darger & Basquiat are never far from
my mind. I’m a huge fan of Nate Williams as well. I
like making it look like the computer never came near
it even though it always does.
