About That Ganbare Nippon Collaboration Illustrations & Tee

WHAT-IS: Ganbare Nippon Collab is a design project organized by a dozen international artists from 4 continents, as an effort for offering a helping hand to the victims of the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan. The Japanese phrase GANBARE, NIPPON! or がんばれ日本！ translates "Don’t give up, Japan”, “Hang in there, Japan", "Be strong, Japan". Each artist has designed a letter from the phrase. All funds gathered are donated to the Red Cross in Japan.

Contributing artists include: Paul Shih / Zitone / Chobopop / Bubblefriends / Peap Tarr / Stick-A-Thing / petitBREADfarm / Lunar / Mr. Wany / Brainstrikers ARTDENKA / Olla Boku / Lemon One. Do check out individual images and updates via the dedicated Flickr-page here.
