I can do it better than your kids…

No, it’s not politically correct. And if you deeply cherish children’s artwork you probably won’t like this guy… But maybe, maybe some of these thoughts have crossed your mind at some point. Maddox exposes the “terrible inadequacy” of children with his newest work I’m Better Than Your Kids.

In the iron fist of creativity

What’s cool? Well, it’s hard, but try to add an owl, a mad dog and a horseman to your creative outburst. Then you’re on your way to ensnare people into your gloomy reign… Impressive!

Heard of Pin-Ups? Well now meet ”Men-Ups”

Rian Sabean, an American photographer, has in his latest project decided to take men and photograph them in classic pin-up poses.

Bearded guys wearing chore shirts and sports gear are posing it up in what most of us consider feminine poses, in this humorous up-coming calendar.

Weather you see this project as a political or a comical comment, is certainly up to you. I just find it mad hilarious.

Behold the skater, the lumberjack and the mechanic:

Becks – The Green Box Project

What better way to celebrate the launch of Very Digital, than with a great example of a community anchored digital case.

Becks has just launched the Green Box Project. In Becks own words the project is:

“The world’s largest cultural commissioning programme of its kind. Launching the world’s first networked Augmented Reality Gallery and in 7 cities across the globe.”

Little green boxes are placed around the world. When they are viewed through a Becks app called “the key” you see an augmented reality artwork. The project is launched with art pieces commissioned from a wide range of internationally acclaimed artists. The aim is to get artists from all over the world to submit pieces.

The video does a great job of describing the project. If you are interested in seeing how a brand can use community ambassadors to support, build and strengthen their brand, using digital and mobile media, watch it. Alternately you can give us a call: 26824222

One dot says more than a thousand words

Same message, same brief but different. See the different interpretations of a single red dot to get attention to Help Japan here. Less is more – again.
