Another quick Dad story.

Dad asked me to do something, 

I countered with the jobs I had yet to do, 

no doubt trying to avoid doing his task.

Dad repeated his directions. 

I said what about ... listing my jobs yet to do.

He countered with, "they will still be there when you're done."

He used that one a lot.

Japanese Instant Noodle Warriors by Taishi Arimura

Taishi Arimura is a young graphic designer based in Tokyo. 

At the age of 25, his eclectic body of work contains humor, 

wit and beauty. In one particular series of works, Arimura uses imitation food samples and actual instant noodle packaging to create ‘noodle warriors.’

Arimura sculpts the food samples into the bodies of warriors. He then meticulously carves up the Styrofoam packaging of popular instant noodles – in this case, Nissin’s Cup Noodle and Donbei – to create the armor, which he adheres to the noodles. The final touch is either a fork or chopsticks as weapon and the warriors look like they’re ready for battle.

Arimura posts his quirky designs to his brand new Twitter and Instagram accounts, which are worth following. Some other favorites include this bittersweet photograph of a traffic sign that has presumably been photo-shopped to read “Summer Ends Here,” these inverted artworks that visually portray the city and country and this delightful illustration of sukiyaki noodles as Mt. Fuji.

Thank you Taishi Arimura!

A smile for Wednesday ...
