Eyes on trains

Parisian artist JR's ideas eventually evolve into giant reproductions and paste-ups of his photography. Recent work in Nairobi, Kenya features colossal faces and moving trains. The enormous statement reminds us women are heroes. Via Wooster.

Orangina hybrids

Orangina's human/animal hybrids return obnoxious, rude and randy in these recent spots by Paris agency Fred & Farid. A bikini-clad giraffe chases down her prey while a hyena mean-girl won't give a sister a break. But could you expect from more from human/animal hybrid instinct?

Robot equals funny

Advertising often relies on a mix of cliché characters to get a laugh. Certainly not above that, Cossette Communications recent spots for Pizza Pops put experimental monkeys, a smaller but martially-gifted person, a best robot friend and the ever popular creepy mascot under the comedy spot light. Apparently, a very messy product launch.

Reality, the consistent downer

Reality steals the show again at World Press Photo 2008. The Amsterdam based organization recently published the winners of the 2008 contest. There's plenty of proof that sitting by the weird guy on the bus really isn't so bad.

A quick look back

What's December without a careful glance in the rearview mirror while speeding along the timeline? A random reflection includes the best and very worst in advertising, instant sad news, some twisted huggable gifts, alphabetical Big Ideas, scary movie trailers, Hitchcockian Barbies and the state of The American Dollar.

Generic

To live is to be generic

Clothing makes the (wo)man, but inevitably leads to categorization. Intentional or not, fashion places a subculture title on us all.

For over 14 years, Rotterdam based artists Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek have been photographing and sorting specimens into groups of “exactitudes.”
