only 100 units
colors drawn from the kore ja nai robo toy, this camera reminds me of a jealous fit over my little brother’s five story ghostbusters fire station – why does he get the cool techy toys and me dolls? suddenly i am ten years old. this color combination goes for $880 @ pentax – and if you are not lucky enough to be one of 100, don’t fret – it comes in 100 solid vibrant colors too

always forgive your enemies nothing annoys them more - oscar wilde
noma bar conveys intensity and intricate story lines with no words and negative space. born+schooled in israel with a move to london after graduation, pictograms are a logical and clever go-to for the non-native speaker in new land. “i’ve always found pictograms to be fascinating – they can tell stories just as well as words, and they can have multiple interpretations. so i began collecting them in their various forms (stickers, etc.), and i learned to develop my own sign language.” - bar (@newyorker.com)
political cities
bar began illustrating in a bunker with his family when a radio active symbol looked alarmingly like saddam hussein. this drawing earned him his first commission in london.
this is the end
but bar is not strictly limited to political topics – his whimsical paperback, guess who: the illustrations of noma bar features icons from all walks. diplomatic characters and artistic influences line each page, including charlie chaplin – who earns cover status, as bar notes “silent comedy was also a great influence on me—telling stories without words.”
