Dexter Publicity Stunt

June 30th 2008 13:53

Dexter is a TV show set and produced in Miami. The series centres on Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood spatter analyst.

Dexter has received considerable critical acclaim and has won two Emmys since first going to air in 2006. It has also generated public controversies concerning its content and promotion.

Thanks to OffBeatEarth, here is an example of a controversial publicity stunt for Dexter.

Boris Artzybasheff - Machinalia

June 16th 2008 08:49

Boris Artzybasheff (1899 - 1965) was a Ukrainian-born illustrator active in the United States, notable for his strongly worked and often surreal designs.

Artzybasheff was born in Kharkov as son of the writer Mikhail Artsybashev. He is said to have fought as a White Russian. In 1919 he arrived in New York City, where he worked in an engraving shop.

During his lifetime Artzybasheff was probably best known for his magazine art. He illustrated the major American magazines Life, Fortune, and Time. During World War II, he also served an expert advisor to the U.S. Department of State, Psychological Warfare Branch.

After 1940, he devoted himself to commercial art, including advertisements for Xerox, Shell Oil, Pan Am, Casco Power Tools, Alcoa Steamship lines, Parke-Davis, Avco Manufacturing, Scotch Tape, Wickwire Spencer Steele, Vultee Aircraft, World Airways, and Parker Pens.

His graphic style is striking, to put it mildly. In his commercial work he explored experiments in anthropomorphism, where toiling machines displayed distinctly human personalities. Some examples of which are below from one of his art books called Machinalia where he attempts to personify machines and industrialism. Thanks to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive for these.

All good tattoos are shaded to give them a sense of depth. Some however, go the extra mile to create an amazing 3D effect. Here is a fantastic example with a tarantula!

Engrish

December 5th 2007 11:09

Engrish refers to grammatically incorrect variations of English, often found in East Asian countries. While the term may refer to spoken English, it is more often used to describe written English, for which problems are easier to identify and publicize. Engrish has been found on everything from poorly translated signs, menus, and instruction manuals to bizarrely worded advertisements and strange t-shirt slogans. Usage of the term ranges from the humorous to the slightly pejorative. Below are some great examples of Engrish from Asia!
