BEAUTY: Illustration For Winter--Gerard Dubois

In collaboration with Japanese department store group Mitsukoshi Isetan, French illustrator Gerard Dubois created an homage to an antique view of what the future could possibly look like in his series Nostalgic Merry and Delightful Future Christmas. The images have a charming quality with little hints of a mechanical future that never actually arrived...with levitating robots, Victorian space helmets, jet packs for reindeer, android nannies, and a flying snow machine cage.

A White (Ad-Free) Christmas

This last week, Canadian creative agency Wunder placed blank white ads on billboards, buses, bus stops and even print ads in Halifax, Nova Scotia in an effort to cut down on the visual and auditory noise of the season. Much appreciated, Wunder!

CATS in The Tube

The daily onslaught of advertising and intrusive imagery in our current society can be overwhelming so to combat that, a group calling themselves Citizens Advertising Takeover Service (or CATS) under the auspices of Glimpse purchased 68 advertising sections of wall space at the Clapham Common subway station in London. And now this Tube station has been taken over by cats: sweetly, many of the felines for this respite from visual pollution are stray cats from two rescue charities, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, and Cats Protection. CATS have brought attention to the worthwhile cause of animal adoption but their ultimate goal on a much larger platform is to bring about general social change via creative campaigns. I say "Well done, CATS!"
