Vladimir Kush

Another day spent in search of interesting stuff for my blog. I was just about to turn off my computer because my search didn't come up with the results I expected, meaning I was unable to find anything interesting. But then I saw Kush's paintings and sculptures and everything changed. I knew that his paintings must be on my blog's pages. He was born in Russia and began painting as a little kid between the age of 3 and 4. In the world of Vladimir Kush the myth, the metaphor and the poetry combine in new forms. I've tried to think of some appropriate text to explain more things about this artist, but I've given up the idea. I'll let his paintings speak. I believe that no matter what I'll write it won't be good enough to explain the magnificent world created by Kush. In this post I'll show you some of his work, my personal selection, but you can find more on the next link. And trust me, this guy is a true master of his work. For a better view of his masterworks click on every image to enlarge and enjoy. And remember, this is only a small part of what you'll find on his page: paintings, sculptures, books, bio... This is his website: Vladimir Kush.com

Read the books before Hollywood does

While I was searching for interesting stuff for my new post, I came upon this fantastic advertising campaign and the impact on me was so strong that made me change my original idea and go with this post. This campaign was made by Leo Burnett, Prague for the Association of the librarians of the Czech Republic and the copy of this campaign is: Read It Before Hollywood does. Outstanding :)

Absolut(ely) Brilliant

My original idea was to post couple of ads (photos) about Absolut Vodka and no text at all. But it was impossible for me to choose few ads that will represent the extraordinary creative power that is representing the Absolut Vodka trough the years. There are just to many wonderful ads. I've selected only few of them to show you on this blog, and for the rest, just follow the link.

To visit the official Absolut Vodka click here and trust me when I say this web page is amazing... It's interactive, adictive and you'll need broadband internet to completely enjoy the site.

The Lavazza Experience

There is no secret that I spend most of my days out with my friends drinking coffee and trust me when I say I'm addicted to it... I mean I drink coffee a lot. So far, among other types of coffee I've tried Lavazza and I must admit that is very good. Recently I found this web page and my opinion about Lavazza got even higher. A truly, truly incredible Lavazza experience combined with extraordinary web design. The story is placed in a city of sin and crime and sexy superheroines are here to save the day with a cup of Lavazza coffee. All this is caught by the camera of one of my favorite photographers - senor Eugenio Recuenco.
Enough writing about this, there is no time to loose, visit the most incredible espresso experience now, the superheroines are waiting for you. To the Lavazza 2007 calendar

Long Live The FORESTS

We live in a modern world and we all know what that means... cars, factories, expanding cities, pollution, global warming etc. Occasionally all of us need some place to escape from that madness. We all search for some special place that will keep us safe and relaxed and that will make all our worries go away. Some people are dreaming for long sandy beaches, worm sun and that magic sound of the waves. Others are longing for the coolness of the beautiful green forests, enjoying there between the trees and the gentle touch of the wind, listening the whisper of the leaves. Unfortunately there are not many places like that. The number of the green intact forests is rapidly decreasing as a result of the needs of the man.
This website is dedicated to the magic of the world of the forests. Fantastic stories told trough the photographies of Yasunobu Kobayashi and spiced with some great ambient music. This site will take you to unforgettable journey through some of the most beautiful forests on the planet. Make sure you bookmark this link, cause this will be the place that you will be visiting over and over again...

Your dream forest may lie within.
The forest you have entered in your dreams.
An irreplaceable treasure,
our children's inheritance.

DaKino

Have you ever heard of DaKino?

I bet you have, but its minor significance to anyone NOT living in Romania makes it hard for you to remember. Anyhow, do not worry about that because after you see this you will not forget DaKino.
Call it the power of marketing, call it whatever you like.
I like to call it brilliant.
