I think that us as viewers of advertising are becoming nostalgic about handcrafted visuals. Huge majority of ads surrounding us is made using some form of advanced technology (that is more advanced than ink and pen). Scott Campbell is a New York based tattoo artist who works with large brands making humanizing their artwork. It’s a pretty longish lecture but it’s recommended by me so it’s your call.

They are getting ready for the inevitable – the end is near and lizards will rule this planet again.

“Or had we and it’s ok because we paid for t , buah hahahah!!!” But it looks so familiar.

Before:

After:

Well ok then: try and not call yourselves a creative agency if you are creatively impotent. For those thinking ‘haven’t I seen that somewhere before?’ – highly recommended read: you thought we wouldn’t notice.
