John Lewis Christmas Ad

 

Video from youtube

I love the John Lewis advert this Christmas, it makes me smile everytime I watch it. Especially like the bit when he's hidding from the snowball fight. Worth a watch.

Two of my favourite things - chocolate & Illustration. I spotted the lovely ad campaign on sky tonight for Kinder chocolate and upon googling it I found that the wonderful Oliver Jeffers is responsible for the beautiful illustration, good work!

Josh Pyke Only Sparrows by James Gulliver Hancock

 I keep spotting illustrations by James Gulliver Hancock around the web and I really like his style, I love pen & inky drawings with quirky lines and hand drawn style fonts. He brings a lot of character to simple things like maps, its like jumping into a Mary Poppins map. He is really versatile too and covers areas such as typography, advertising, animation & exhibitions to name a few, you can even buy his prints. Wouldn't mind one of them hung on my wall. 

Avoid the Walk of Shame with Harvey Nichols

I saw this advert for Harvey Nichols womenswear today and had fits of giggles. If you've every been a student or lived with a bunch of girls you will share both amusment & sympathy for all the ladies festive walk of shame - especially after going to Uni in Newcastle (upon Tyne) where coats are not optional. If you can do it can do it in style then its not as bad. Wrap up single ladies!
