last week i attended the ‘vroaam’ career day together with my intern ‘joris’ (yes we have noticed that we look quite similar) as usual it was an interesting experience to meet young students and try to offer some useful advice… in fact having my intern along was also very handy for adding a different opinion and viewpoint on matters
the symbol for this years ‘gay & lesbian’ filmfestival in amsterdam are two gay penguins
the campaign (previously made by lennert & sander) has this year been developed by ‘dawn’, in theirt own words:
…roze Filmdagen, came to us in dire need of a poster campaign for this year’s edition. Instead of a poster we came up with two pinguins, Buddy and Pedro. Two ordinary African pinguins, living in the Toronto Zoo, who became famous when it turned out they were gay. The Zoo subsequently separated the inseparable two, creating a worldwide outrage. Buddy and Pedro became a symbol for the fight that sometimes has to be fought for love. We thought it fitting to let their story become the theme of this year’s edition. You’ll find Buddy and Pedro everywhere, from posters to booklets and t-shirts…
a beautiful new monography of ‘neo geo’ artist ashley bickerton designed by mister stefan sagmeister has just been released, if you have $2.500 dollars to spare there is even a limited edition in a balinese carved wooden slipcase with handcarved book block edges and pressed orchids inserted between the pages…
