Sarah in the Ad World

Advertising can be great.

I’m in New Zealand!  I’ve been here for about a week and a half now and I’m loving every minute of it.  I have been surprised by the ads.  Some brands (like Havaianas) have the same campaigns, but others (like Coke) have a totally different brand image here.  I’ll investigate some more and post some pics soon.

One of my Professors shared this artists work with us in class one day.  Deb Todd Wheeler used old Boston Globe delivery bags to make this piece of art.  From far away the image is of the ocean, but up close you can make out the individual crumpled up bags.  She scanned each individual block of this image and then assembled them.  This is one of those pieces that is truly awe inspiring.  Talk about creativity, wow."High Sea"

I found this artist on the Miller Block Gallery website.  Her work is so pretty.  I love her careful use of color.  The drawings are so detailed; you can spend quite a while looking through the window at the micro landscapes.  Almost all of her series’ have a piece called, “Birthday” and they always look so sad.  All of her work has an aspect of sadness or loneliness to it, but the birthday drawings are just depressing. She is definitely one of my favorites!
