Asli Yogya

I have never realised that Design Diary, one pretty cool design blog, is made in Yogya.
Kudos.

Why do arts and designs thrive so well in Yogya, compared with the rest of Indonesia (minus Bali)? Is it in their blood, inherited from centuries of well preserved traditional culture? Or is it in the environment? Is it in their easy going - it´s okay if we don´t get rich as long as we can create - attitudes?

It doesn´t matter. They´re doing great. Everywhere I look on the web for Indo artists I keep stumbling upon artists and designers from Yogyakarta, not from Bali, never from Aceh (poor Acehnese, we must be lacking that creative blood).

On another note, the DesignFlip magazine #4 by Jogyaforce has just been published and available for download. Great e-zine.

indo indie design: gerilyawan

I first encountered gerilyawan´s works @ flickr. The obviously Indonesian name raised my curiosity. Further clicks including to their website, indieguerillas, revealed that their works are just awesome. Don´t you just dig the vinyl toys like the Persetan one above?


I asked where I can find or purchase these stuff which they have yet to tell me (mental note: don´t forget to send the street art mags to Gerilyawan). Have you ever seen their graffiti art stickers and toys in Indonesia? Let me know.

I like. Like, Totally.
