Bringing art to life



I really love this campaign for Deserres art supplies in Canada by Nolin BBDO.

The idea of using iconic and graphically strong artworks is kinda obvious to be honest.

But creating the visuals out of crayons or pastels definitely isn't.

Here's a close up of the Keith Haring pic to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Balloon man


Never thought I'd see the day I wrote a blog post about someone who makes animals out of balloons.

But I'm making an exception for Jason Hackenwerth because he is the most awesome ballon sculpter in the world. Ever!

I'd love to use some of his work in some of my work one day. I just need the right sort of idea.

Click here to see more of his amazing work.

Art goes underground in NYC


The Museum of Modern Art in New York has decided to take art underground. Literally.

For the next couple of weeks people catching a subway train at a station in Brooklyn will be treated to a display of 50 works from the MOMA collection.

Much nicer than crap buskers and scribbled graffiti tags. Don't you think?

Best of all you can download an MP3 audio tour for your iPod so you get the most out of your subway visit.

I'd love to see something simlar at stations here in Melbourne. Perhaps as part of the Melbourne or Design Festivals. What about you?
