A Vicious Hat

| June 28th, 2010

Viciousness Exists In A Hat

Meet a hat. It can be vicious in any way. Typically worn by sharply suited evil, it can also be donned by a good heart.

Some wear it all the time, hiding secrets they wish to whisper only to the stars when they gaze from 6 feet below and their spirits, one with the wind.

Others prefer to remain grounded, soak in the open rays, maintain peace with conscience. Soon, the law of diminishing returns makes its presence known, forcing the unwilling abandonment of what was once ideal.

Circumstance, the honest advisor, said we all need to wear a vicious hat at least once, at some point in our lives.

Is circumstance right? Maybe. Viciousness with a good heart. How is that possible? All deeply engraved in intentions.

I wonder if death is waiting for me at the end of the tunnel.

Logorama

| May 5th, 2010

So this is my first post on this blog and i wanted to start off on a not so completely random but alas still fun pilot post.

So what do you get when you combine a butt load of known logos, some movie themes and craziness?

This video.

100,000 staples and 40 hours later, artist Peter Root’s creative vision gave birth to a beautiful new city.

I love how the interlocking of the two family members’ fingers not only successfully communicates the key message of the importance of a seatbelt, but it serves as a reminder that anyone who ever gets involved in such tragedies, hurts not only themselves, but those they share a close bond with. I’m starting to sound like I work with the traffic police, I’m sorry!

I also love how the pre-accident bit is in slow motion, coupled with soothing music that may be representative of how we take life for granted, and then followed by the sudden thrust of a driver, a father, a husband, a best friend, a bread winner, a son.

The ad is further dramatised with the flying of the coins/bits/pieces, representative of a car crash, perhaps also to display how brittle life can be, and that it can all break apart into the tiniest little pieces, fly away and disappear in an instance.

Employing the soft approach, lovely to see that all this was done without the conventional employment of blood, dead bodies, mourning family members, screaming eyewitnesses, crashed cars, ambulances and the likes.

Definitely a work of art this ad is.

A Day In The Death of Donny B.

| April 15th, 2010


Cinéma vérité style. 1969

Mostly considered an anti-drug film, it was made for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The film follows its protagonist, Donny B, a young black man who appears to be a heroin addict, as he makes his way through the cruel ghettos of New York City… Through the run time of 14 minutes, a blues-like tune plays over the footage and voice-overs, with vocals that come in and out during the film, narrating Donny B as he does wrong.

It is that collaborative process and the input of other people and trying something you haven’t done before that takes you somewhere you’ve never been before and that’s kind of exciting.

childhood dreams

| April 20th, 2009

So a couple of days ago I suddenly remembered listening to all these book tape stories when I was a child!
There was this particular one that I always loved it’s called “Der Kleine Flax” in english “The little Flax”, the story was written by James Krüss. It’s a story about boy who leaves home and has an adventure, it’s quite an extraordinary tale and actually abit scary for kids and the music is amazing too! Anyway I still have the tape somewhere in my schtuff I took it with me when I moved out. Since I have been searching for the mp3 online somewhere…. without any luck!!! (I do not give up)

Well with all this blabla I would like to introduce Janosch to you guys. I think he is my favorite kid stories illustrator (weird 3 combination of words), Janosch well Janosch did draw “Der Kleine Flax” and many other way more popular little uhm animals? like “Tigerente” and some others which i dont remember right now!
Well I guess I need to show all this in images!
Oh and probably all of you don’t know Janosch or Der Kleine Flax cause it’s german…. so only Lumi will know this I guess?
