At ART-PIE we are getting old and memory is not what it used to be – strong and sharp but this guy beats us all – he can draw by memory skylines like New York or Rome!

As well as going to the ‘Born in the streets exhibition’ (see review here), I wondered around the 20th district in Paris where I snapped up the vans below. Art on wheels. Love it. Continue reading Art on wheels – graffiti on vans from Paris

In “Poo
h… and Other Sh*t,” Robert Brandenburg brings “hijacked” art to Gallery 1988 in Venice Beach, CA.
As a self-taught artist from Ohio, Brandenburg brings an expansive perspective to viewers. Born in 1954, he paints contemporary works that offer a light repose from the mundane.
His versatile style allows him to incorporate renderings into a variety of works on a variety of mediums. Less art than humor, he creates an entertaining interlude and encourages viewers to recreate everyday scenes in a less than ordinary manner.
Renamed The Bird, Brandenburg alters a metal sign from 1956 used to advertise the Ford Thunderbird. In the original a couple speeds away in the automobile, waving to onlookers. In the re-mastered version, the passenger extends her middl
e finger to the people standing by. From metal to cardboard, In Mammy Cakes Brandenburg alters a Hostess Cupcake box from a chocolate frosted vanilla cupcake to a white mouthed image mirroring minstrel shows that ran in America from the 1830’s into the mid-1900’s. During these often severely racist performances, white men painted themselves in black face.
To compliment his images, Brandenburg includes brief bios and explanations into the life of his creations. One of his works, Hannah Lecter, features a young girl on a greeting card. Originally, she was eating a tasty piece of chocolate but Brandenburg coated the original snack with a dripping red acrylic paint to make it appear as if she indulges in human flesh. The title and corresponding story names her as Hannibal Lecter’s love child. He also alters several Norman Rockwell paintings depicting the ‘ideal’ family life of 1940’s America including one from Rockwell’s “Four Freedom” series entitled Freedom from Want. 
Brandenburg redubs it Freedom from Stress and replaces the original turkey with a glass pipe, beers, and whiskey explaining, “experience suggests that the happy family is going to need a little more than turkey to keep things running smoothly for the rest of the day.”
Brandenburg brings a fresh look to “normal” images by incorporating himself into a variety of mediums at his new solo exhibition. By redesigning iconic images, he urges society to reexamine omnipresent sights that do not always reflect truth.

We found this campaign created by Ad Agency DDB Uruguay for S.I.N.A.E. and Dirección Nacional de Bomberos which talks about forest fires.
The campaign was launched in summer to raise awareness on the importance of prevention as a means of stopping forest fires.
We liked a lot the creativity here!

My eyes got wide opened when I saw this new design for digital camcorder – creativity at its best.
Pentax and Nanoblock (Japanese brand which can be compared to Lego) have excelled here.
They have given us something to play with, and it also takes pictures! Continue reading PENTAX & NANOBLOCK or the funkier camera out there
we’ve all seen dirty trucks or cars, I mean covered with muds or dust and we probably did not think more of it.
Nikita Golubev, a Russian, sees these trucks and cars as a canvas and, with a set of brushes, will turn dirtiness into awesomeness.
We included a few of his masterpieces
Everyone needs live performance in their lives, everyone needs to get out there and enjoy moments with each other. It gets better if what you see is something unique or at least different with what you are used to see.

You will have understand by now that you are up for a twisted and macabre event which takes the form of a theatrical New Orleans jazz style funeral experience of mournful humour and morbid performance! It’s Your Funeral is a dark tragicomedy journey, breathing fresh life into grim tall tales of the dead.
The event is launching on Thursday 11th April 2013 and then will run every 2nd thursday of the month in the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club
More information can be found on the It’s Your Funeral website
What – It’s Your Funeral
