Amazing illustrator. Some of the work is quite eerie, other illustrations are just great to look at.
I particularly <3 the stills of In the Mood for Love, as you might know from (my favourite) director: Wong Kar Wai.

Words To Work By

Now that we're talking posters, there are six typographic posters uploaded from ad agency Publicis Mojo in Sydney. But these aren’t ads. Instead, Mojo creative director Micah Walker tells us the poster project, entitled Words To Work By, is the first of a series of self-initiated projects that will see the agency link up and work with various different artists and designers…


The set of six posters, are designed as resolutions, and poke fun at some of the clichés we all come across in the industry,” explains Walker. “They’re a limited edition print run of 100, some as lithographs and some as screen prints. We sent them out to friends, clients and colleagues, as a crafted hello more than anything else. Luca Ionescu, from Like Minded Studio, worked closely with us to bring the lines to life in a way that felt appropriate and fresh. It’s all just part of us trying to keep a constant spirit of creative productivity. It’s nice to not only do ads all the time,” he adds.

The Girlfriend Experience

The girlfriend experience (commonly known as GFE) is a type of service a female prostitute offers which includes acting like a girlfriend to the client.

I was drawn to the freshness of this movie poster (it's truly original), but even more by the girl on it... adult film star Sasha Grey. The thing that makes it credible is the name under it: Steven Soderbergh. I'm honestly looking forward to this, just to see how "talented" she really is. The woman is supposed to be very popular in the industry.


Don't forget to check the Magnolia Pictures' trailer out.

Pop Down Project

The Pop_Down Project offers an alternative to the “pop up” advertising we encounter on the streets. They write:
"On the Internet, getting rid of unsolicited pop-ups is pretty easy. In real life, things are a tad more complicated. The Pop_Down Project aims at symbolically restoring everyone’s right to non-exposure: Just stick a “Close window” button on any public space pollution."


Apparently you can head to the site to download the template and start sticking yourself. It's kind of fun, but I wouldn't be so sure of its effectiveness.

Wilkinson Sword: Mow the lawn

I dropped my jaw of the awesomeness. There's actually a pun or an ambiguity in every shot. :')

Great Google gimmicks

1) Funny, well made.

2) Why oh why, didn't I think of this?! So simple, so genius, so effective. But the best thing is, Ji Lee shares the pdf with all of us!

3) Tired of those douchebags who don't do their own research, even if it takes only 2 seconds of their time? Instead they take the trouble to go to a forum, sign in on it, open a thread, type a broad question about their trivial shit and wait for hours for the right response? Well, you're obviously annoyed and wish they would die, but you're also a helpful human being. So here's a new sarcastic way to tell 'em to piss the hell off while providing the perfect results. "Let me google that for you."

These looked fun. Great way to sell fashion, it's been done before, but I still like it. Imperfect, gritty, spontaneous...

Fukasawa fruit juice design

Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa has created a series of creative fruit juice packages that have the look and feel of the fruit they contain. I love it, I love it, I love it.


I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the color and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin.
