Mr Burton Promo

I dont think an upcoming searies of Tim Burton movies on television need much promotion, but a dutch on-demand channel did. The outcome is a wonderful handmade promo-spot, done by United fakes, a Barcelona based animation and illustration studio. Below, you can find links to the animated short clip and also, an enlightening making of with a nice soundtrack!

MadMan Yourself!

This is so much fun, you haaaave to try it (oh yeah, thats me on the left:)! And if you havn't, you really have to watch this series! It is set in the 1960s, at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency in NYC. The show centers on Don Draper, creative director and his never ending affairs with alll the pretty ladies on Madison Avenue. Apart from being quite entertaining, its a great source of inspiration in how to dress up for the ladies - and the gentlemen!

OCB Blackthinking

I do not smoke, but still enjoy OCBs way of advertising little semi-translucient papers. Six new illustrations on so called Black Thinking thoughts are available on their packs every quarter! OCB Blackthinking's page is a good way to kill time until lunchbreak: its little universe offers a wallpapergallery, drive in cinema etc. It's a pity they went online while so many catergories still are under construction...

Fighting moody Tuesday!

....with some effin great music and videoclip!
I dont know much about the band "Dead Pirates", but do have more information on the creative mind behind the animated video. McBess alias Matthieu Bessudo is definatly one of the very few illustrators/art directors whose every single piece of work is drop-dead-gorgeous! To understand what I am talking about, you better have a look at his portfolio, or if you're in a rush - just watch the videoclip :)
