Rest easy Farrah. Charlie doesn't need you anymore.

Sunshine. Moonlight. Good times. Boogie.

Long live Michael. And no matter what the last decade or so has done to his image -- he truly was one of a kind. R.I.P. King of Pop.

Hey, where's the hot wax machine?

ProportWheel
When I first started in the agency business, computers were already used extensively (although where I started all the Macs were networked in one big room). Even so, every art director still had a drawing board and a fine set of Rapidograph pens in his or her office. More often than not, numerious exactos were hurled into the ceiling. We also had a hot wax machine for the paste-up guys which was also occasionlly utilized as a torture chamber for unfortunate insects. An awesome post from Adbroad reminisces about more of the great stuff the art directors used to have laying around. For more check out the Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies.

Adoro "Mañana" hoy

Coca-Cola Mexico's newest TV spot, entitled Mañana, has me floored. Talk about the perfect message at the perfect time for a country that's really been through a lot lately.

I don't know who created this fantastic piece of advertising, but whoever it is deserves a shout-out. If you know, please let us know.

Beats a dated poster for the hotel restaurant.

Civilization by Marco Brambilla from CRUSH on Vimeo.

Video installation created by artist/director Marco Brambilla and Crush for the elevators in the Standard Hotel in NYC. It takes elevator passengers on a trip from hell to heaven as they go up or from heaven to hell as they go down. More here. Thanks to @jonkowing for the find. Now, about the breakfeast buffet....
