The Governors Ball

I’m so going! On June 18th Girl Talk and other pretty cool bands will be playing on Governors Island, New York City, at the Governors Ball Music Festival.

Gray’s Papaya

I live on W 37th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenue, and the image above is my corner. I have used this corner as a landmark to know where to turn instead of looking at the street number. It’s just two things…they change the advertisement all the time, and now Grey’s Papaya that used to be there closed down. So when I was walking home in February and looked for the “the Dilemma” poster I realized that there was a big poster of Ken wanting Barbie back. And last Friday when I was walking home after a night out with the guys from Tronic I past my street and was all of a sudden on 38th St. So confusing. Hopefully they will keep this Paul ad for a while now.

Shazam + Old Navy

I sat and watched TV and the commercial for Old Navy came on. In the lower right corner the shazam logo appeared, so I shazamed the song. After a few seconds I got to a page where I could claim the jeans, shop the look, download the song, check out the video, and learn more about the featured Old Navy bands, such as Audio Threadz. This is really cool and such a great idea. Will be interesting to see what other brands will tag along with Shazam in the future.

Hyper Island Meet Up

Fashion 2.0 Awards

GoldRun is nominated at the Fashion 2.0 Awards, and the event is tonight. We are all (Lucy, Tiff, Shai, and I) going. Will be fun.

Nike+ Screensaver

Today I got this nice screensaver from Nike+. Thank you very much.

Happy ♥ Day

I’m glad there are options out there. Which cupid will you pick? Above you see some variations made by Ji Lee.

COLOSSAL

I just came a cross this company called Colossal, and when looking at their art I realize that I’ve seen tons of it already. This media group creates hand-painted murals. The image above is one of them, and it is also from where I take the subway in the mornings. I’ve see many ads for H&M around the city, and also the Banksy paintings. Really cool stuff.

M&M’s Space Heroes

This is so much fun! Drag the spaceship to you bookmark bar and then go to any website and shot at the content with m&m’s. Great work by BBDO Denmark.

The Force

One of the best commercials from the Super Bowl XLV yesterday.

Super Bowl XLV

Last night I watched Super Bowl “the biggest advertising event in the world. Sometimes they also showed some football.” (Like my friend Nina put it) There was a lot of great commercials, some kinda bad, and many new movie trailers. If you haven’t seen them either click the image above or go here.

MoMA

Yesterday after work I want to MoMA together with Nina, Theo, and Ludwig. I’ve been there before, but I always enjoy going there. The paintings, the art, the photographs, the sculptures, and the movies are all so interesting/beautiful/fun/crazy. I love how you on the first floor can see a lighter on a shelf, and on the forth in the same museum you can see a Picasso painting.

Screening

Tonight Tronic has a party in SoHo. Food, drinks, screenings of Tronic’s work and lots of people. I can’t wait.

LOKA

Another piece in my portfolio.
