Post-it of the day

Posh graffiti spotted in Notting Hill

Crap idea

Strange Belgian ad for (...wait for it...) an ING current account.

Some nice little touches, like, if you select female, an option to invite a friend appears.
Also when you finish doing your business, an upload bar shakes from side to side.

i need to go (i-n-g?)

Crazy robot music

I hated this song...until the robots remade it!

Le lait est bon pour vous!

This French ad to get kids to drink more milk made me smile. It has a simple idea and a bonkers execution. My favourite combination.
We could do with a little more fun in the UK. We think too much about how straight the clients are, and end up presenting a safe option.

So, next time you think 'they'll never buy it!', take off your kooky media glasses, loosen the creative sphincter and shake your hair about!

Vinni Puh

The Russian version of Winnie The Pooh. Much better with all the Disney magic removed.

Dove Onslaught

I knew it! Advertising is evil. Talk to your daughter before they do.

10 minutes of originality: a study

I took these pictures in Pisa earlier this year, inspired by a brilliant photograph taken by Martin Parr of people standing around in weird poses under the tower. Individually, the tourists have a hilarious snap of them holding up the tower, from any other angle it just looks weird.

Is anything original? Does it have anything to do with how drunk you were last night? Are my pictures of tourists any different to Mr Parr's? They are to me.
Anyway, as blogging etiquette dictates, all you need to do is put a link to the original and leave it to the reader to decide. More cider please.

Doodle for doodles sake

The Big Draw is part of the Campaign For Drawing, now in it's eighth year. Events are taking place until the 30th October. Anyone can join in, young and old. Even I had a doodle in Bethnal Green on my way back from a stag do, adding my scrawl to a giant mural!
