Inside My Brain

A few weeks ago we had to draw a representation of our brains, and I decided to portray mine as an apartment building made up of different rooms and their occupants. I have various rooms containing my main inspirations- children, art, and fashion. And up in the observatory I have someone constantly on the lookout for new ideas. All of these rooms have piping leading to a central furnace where all the creative juices are fired up and sent off to the mad scientist at the top of the building. Here he creates (hopefully) marvellous concoctions! These are then packaged and sent out into the world, through the top of my head.
The shifty looking shadowy guys near the bottom are my self-doubts and fears etc, which I aim to keep locked up and out of harm's way. But sometimes they manage to escape, like the one tunnelling out of his cell..
And the little guys tending the lawns and painting the building are there because I like things to look as good as possible! :-D

Norwegian Railway Ad

I just found this awesome ad for the Norwegian State Railway system (of all things...), using puppets to demonstrate all the favours you'll be doing the wildlife if you opt for public transport instead of cars. 
I think the character portrayals are great- especially the flower with the crutch, and the little touches like the fish in the seagull's beak.. 
And the colours are so bright and sunny! :-D

Now why can't our own transport ads be as swingin' as this?
