Hasta La Creative!

Boy the kids today do not want to go into a brick and mortar shop at all. Not. At. All. If it can be delivered, it can be delivered. Razors. Contacts. Anything amazon carries. And for every company that comes along promising to cut out the middleman and save you on money and time, there are ten other companies who come along promising the same thing (and hoping to get bought out by a legacy company the way Unilever bought Dollar Shave Club.)

Peet’s has done something amazing here, which is to actually differentiate its cold brew coffee from other cold brew coffees. Unlike the other stuff which has shelf stabilizers, the only processing Peet’s goes through to make its cold brew coffee is to use cold. Smart. Simple. And something I can remember. Check out their spot, too.

Simple stunning portraits of true heroes: rescue dogs. With the “medals,” they’ve received for their rescue efforts over the years. The idea being of course that they really are heroes. But without your donation, they won’t be able to continue serving.

San Diego Zoo have created the Africa Rocks exhibit, these are the posters for it.

Interesting problem: New York City has one of the nation’s lowest rates of organ donors of any state because so few New Yorkers own cars, so there’s no organ donor box to tick. Wow, really? That’s weird. Because in Cali you have that option whether you have a driver’s license or a regular I.D. That’s kind of dumb, New York. I actually think the reason why New York State ranks 49th out of 50 states for registered organ donors isn’t because of New York City, but more because the other eight million who live in upstate New York are cold and uncaring.

You’ll find these billboards along the Gene Autry Trail in California as their installation is as part of Desert X, an outdoor exhibition of site-specific art installed across the Coachella Valley.

Ugh the pun. It hurts. But I guess it’s one way to get people to start thinking about the shape of their lawns and how they should start maintaining them to keep up with the Joneses who will be mocking you behind your back. Neighbors talk, you see. And the last thing you want is for them to talk about your lawn with such contempt. How were you even allowed to buy in this neighborhood? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Barton F Graf tapped 24 local L.A. artists to create a really big mural on the corner of Sunset and Hyperion for DIageo’s whisky brand Bulleit. Why? Well, this the first in a series called Frontier Works, “a set of creative projects to support and celebrate creative people living and working on the modern cultural frontier.” Each of the tattoo artists got a panel to do what they wanted with the mural, provided of course it depicted the Bulleit label. No doubt the process was documented and will be shared on Bulleit’s social channels, too.
