Mixer Recap

If you missed it, don't worry, we'll do it again. But a big shout out to Bryce Boyer Productions and Post Modern. Keep an eye out here, and on the ADCD Facebook group, as we will be posting links to get the other shots up. And again, if you missed it, big thanks to all members.

You, Me, a Few Others

That’s right. You’re taken care of. It’s a FREE event with live music and a keg.

ADCD Members, past, current and future, can gather for an evening of networking, laughing, and a few summer surprises.

We’re thinking a photo booth and 80s board games, just for kicks. Oh yeah, and we’ll roll in that keg too (thanks to Bryce Boyer Photography for the photo booth and the beer).

And oh, a big thanks to Post Modern for hosting.

T.H.I.R.S.T.

A Maveric Cop Thirst will never Stop. He's been a man since he was a boy. He makes the bad men shiver and the ladies quiver. Very fun.

Just remember, when the bad guys get hot, he gets really cool.

Yes We Can

Another example of artists supporting a leader. Not sure where this is all leading (crowds chanting in unison feverishly always raises a red flag for me) but I like the involvement.

Rebus Puzzles

Love this idea for Lucky Rootbeer bottles. What I can't seem to find if they are throw backs or if they are currently being offered. Either way, would be a great find as I enjoy my frothy root brew.

Nice Animations

The computer animation is ok, the stop motion animation is excellent, as are the character design. Playful, environmental ads aimed at children. Head on over to see the four takes and decide for yourself.

Mezmorising

Start imagining what you could do with this now.

Return of the Polaroid

As reported over at Gizmodo:
"While the tears spilled mourning the death of Polaroid's instant film division are still somewhat damp, the company has a little spark of an announcement that could make hardcore 'roiders (of the best kind) happy—the company looks like it's finally getting serious about building its Zink instant digital printing tech into a camera."

Could it be, the return of polaroid, as long as I don't ever need to use it, good news.

Paper, Disposable

I'm just highly thankful these exist. Simple and beautiful. Found over at NotCot, these paper plates from Wasara are just stunning.
“Underlying the concept of WASARA is the legacy of Japanese aesthetic and value sense. Japan has a tradition of good manufacturing backed by excellent skills and techniques, one of the most refined food cultures in the world, and a spirit of hospitality and courtesy. These are essential for days of spiritual fulfillment. While a WASARA is a paper dish good for one-time use, we would like it to represent those quintessences of our tradition.”-Wasara website.

Teeth

Yes Christie, big ideas can be simple. Does there seem to be a run on floss ads lately? Philipp und Keuntje, Hamburg, Germany.

Political Screens

I'm liking how politics seem to have captured the artist imagination, not only is there the Manifest Hope Show that will be here, but there is other shows all over the place. Check out this little piece for A Politically Charged Poster Show in Jacksonville this September and October. More shots here.

Going, Going, There

As a reveal for their next new car, BMW has pulled out all the stops. Have no idea how expensive this is, other than really expensive. As the silver balls fall, the car (literally) is revealed.

Ahhh, Computers

There is a lot of history here. Computers, advertising, Chaplin. Especially like the IBM and the elaborate semi conductor art. More (much more) over at Boing Boing.

Try to look away.

Liquid Ferrel material, electromagnet, and science.

It's Made of Dice

Made with real dice, attention grabbing work for a Casino. It'd be a welcome change in these parts.

Samsung's Olympic Spot

Check out the animation from Samsung's Olympic spot, nice.

Fisher Price/Zoo

Nice ambient work that doesn't try too hard. BBDO West, USA.

Chupa Chupa Girlfriend

Strange, but I'd be the same way.

Manifest Hope

This is one of the artists in the Manifest gallery. He goes by the name Eddie, and this looks great. Another reason to go.

Manifest Hope

One of the benefits from th DNCC is the attention it will put on Denver. Even better, the art it will add to Denver. I was excited about the DNCC, but I am really pumped about this, be worth fighting the crowds.

The 10,000 square foot venue will display work by both established an emerging artists. Additionally, the proponents of the candidate that can actually raise his arms above his head will hold an art contest and 30 submissions will be featured in an online gallery with the top 5 hung physically at the 'Hope' Gallery.
