small town blues

now that is what i would call a pretty extreme case of product placement/promotion: the southern spanish town ‘juzcar’ has been completely (yes completely) painted in blue to promote the forthcoming ‘smurfs 3D’ movie…

update: designer ‘franklin de bekker’ mailed me with some extra news, apparently ‘sony’ had originally offered to repaint the whole town white again, after the film première… but the people of juzcar declined and have decided to keep their ‘smurf blue’ houses, in the hope of attracting tourism as a result, weird just got weirder…

read your book(case)

fun looking modular bookcase from italian designers ‘eva alessandrini’ and ‘roberto saporiti‘, it is also highly functional as the letter forms allow for different sized books

baby boom

cute new campaign for amsterdam zoo ‘artis’ made by my friends from dawn, these colourful (baby) animal stickers are all life-sized and (unlike the photo in the previous post) can be peeled off to take home and stick on your own car window, if it’s big enough of course….

gutt stuff

the last time i worked with (or spoke to) photographer ‘tim gutt’ was at least ten years ago, since then he moved to london a few years ago and certainly hasn’t been standing still…. tim got in touch again this week to share his impressive portfolio, for magazines like ‘vogue’, ‘dazed & confused’ and ‘wallpaper’ amongst others… see for yourself here
