Supposedly this great period of financial turmoil will be a boon to the arts and self expression as  we all try to make sense of this new paradigm into which we’ve been plunged. Can’t remember where I read that but I’m pretty sure that was the gist of one of the many ‘it won’t be [...]

So it’s that time of the year again, all the so-called ‘creative companies’ come out with their christmas cards in a vain attempt to show some form of corporate empathy in the public eye – whilst really trying to one-up their competitors in a battle royale of we’re-cooler-and-more-creative -than-you. It’s all very entertaining, most attempts [...]

This is awesome. We love Guitar Hero, and we love bicycles. Someone combined the two and it resulted in awesomeness. Looking at the effort they went to setting this up though – I’m suspicious that it’s a viral ad for the game launch itself? Still – doesn’t stop it from being awesome.

The revamped Museum of Arts and Design opened in New York a few weeks back They’re sporting newly redesigned digs and a brand spanking new graphic identity.

Put together by ad agency Rivet, the PSPs come in hand stitched black velvet drawstring bags and have the Stella [...]

Yet more Olympic flavour, but hold on! It’s not Beijing related bitches and there ain’t no basketball involved – it’s protest art for London 2012. Apparently there is a massive blue fence blocking off places where Olympic construction is underway in London, an eyesore described by Iain Sinclair in the London Review of Books thusly [...]

Saul Williams has stirred a bit of controversy by allowing his song List of Demands to be used in the latest Nike “Sparq Training” commercial. Now, this would have probably slid past for most artists, (street boners and TV carnage point out that no one said boo about Santogold’s Converse effort) but Williams is a [...]

Yet more Olympic-y related stuff to peruse. Adidas has released its latest spot – three minutes of sports sounds using Adidas footage and just a simple heartbeat as the backing track. It’s currently being exhibited at the Today Art Museum in Beijing, leading to The Copyranter discussing the art/not art aspect of it in his [...]

London based creative agency exposure (lower case please, we’re creative) have done some nice work for Vitamin Water with their concept store.

Part of the whole campaign is to go [...]
