Going to a fancy dress party an need some ideas?

"Fantastically funny Fish Hat" by Fairytrade, Funny fly hat found on Japanese site, "Lotus Flower Hat" by littlewingfaerieart, "Pinecone hat" found on Etsy

I love to host fancy dress parties, with one theme crazier than the other. My friends tend to be a bit to boring for my liking, so I have a magical treasure chest where they can pick out an outfit or a crazy hat.

The treasure chest usually come out after midnight, even if we have a theme party or not. I also have a couple of my granny´s glasses from the 60´s with thick glass, they usually do the trick! If you don´t have a theme for a party you should defenately give "Crazy hat party" a go, good luck!

Low tech Ben & Jerry´s advertising

cred:
Ogilvy & Mather Asia Pacific Singapore
Executive Creative Directors: Tham Khai Meng, Eugene Cheong, Todd Mccracken
Copywriters: Mike Sutcliffe, Craig Love, Eugene Cheong
Art Directors: Adrian Chan, Maurice Lim, Stuart Mills
Photographer: Edward Loh, October Skies

Are you like me, a huge fan of Ben & Jerry´s? I had to wait for so long before the gorgeous ice cream arrived in Sweden. We even have a B&J ice cream parlour in "Gamla stan" now!. I love the the crafty idea for these ads made by Ogilvy

Such a clever yet low tech idea which proves that you don´t have to have large budgets and deep knowledge of complicated software. Maybe I´ll even try to make som stuff myself, inspired by the ads!

I just had to check out the B&J US site for nice flavours, as we only get a small selecetion over here. Please check out their web, it´s so cool! And don´t forget to crank up the volume!

Dark and amazing art

I don´t know where I found these artists, probably on Deviant Art. Mr. Bunners the Rabbit Master was created by Mike P Mitchell. A friend of mine got me into this kind of "surrealist dark art", and since I prefer it not to be to gothic and wierd and just a little bit cute this is just in my taste. This style of art reminds of Alexander Jansson and his piece "Dimanche" from Sweden. He´s work is amazing and I still havn´t seen him in any galleries around here. I read somewhere that this is a piece that´s from a childrens book and that he is still looking for a publisher. You can buy prints on Deviant art, and my wall is just waiting for a tripdych with his work.

Munny toys

MUNNY was created by master toy designers Paul Budnitz & Tristan Eaton. I stumbled across them searching the internet for cool and funky art. They are he soft, super smooth vinyl figures that make up MUNNYWORLD. Each one is a blank canvas, and all ready for scribbling, piercing, painting, posing, piling, dressing up, and sculpting into forms straight from your imagination.

Or you can keep them just as they are. You can find out more about these cute little things on:
