hammer and coop

More near-perfect advertising from Mini Copper. Hammer and Coop is a strange Knight Rider spoof starring a guy with a mustache who kicks a lot and Mini Cooper called “Coop.” The short episodes have a really stunningly high production value, plus the scripts are funny, and the car is awesome.
(You might remember the CCC or […]

laser graffiti

EVERYONE linked to this video this week, and I am reluctantly jumping on the bandwagon. It’s just that this idea and this video are so fucking cool, it’s impossible not to want to build one of these yourself.

Hertzfeldt

There was a time back before YouTube and Google Video when you thought of a short film or animation you had to HUNT for it all over the internets, and there was a very good chance you wouldn’t find it.

yukon robots

I’ve been drawing robots lately, of all shapes and sizes, on sticky notes, in red felt tip, like before. Of course, I don’t have a scanner here, so I can’t share them. Well, I’ll save them, and then maybe I’ll unload them all in one shot when I am back in NY. “The Dubai Robots” […]

papa john’s cannes

Sometimes great ads are the simplest. Saatchi & Saatchi Peru stuck this inspired piece on someone’s door and got a gold at Cannes for it.

Speaking of Cannes, let me congratulate my good friend Kerry, from Wunderman Dubai, for the gold she won this past week as well, and for telling Sir Martin about the time […]
