Have you been watching the Vancouver Winter Olympics? I have a little, here and there… and I saw this Nike commercial while I was watching the Olympics and caught my attention — very beautifully done.

I didn’t talk about Super Bowl commercials this year now I think about it, but I was working while I was watching the game commercial so I couldn’t pay attention much this year to be honest. The only one I remember was this Google commercial. Simple, straightforward and still told the story (very cute one). Out of all the over-the-top Super Bowl commercials, this one was the most memorable one for me.

Hope you had a lovely (long) weekend (if you are in US)!!

I just saw MoMA posting this picture on their twitter saying that they started the installation of the Tim Burton exhibition!!! I can’t wait!!! He is so inspiring in so many ways, I’ve been a big fan, I can’t wait to see everything.

It starts on November 22nd and it goes on until April 26th next year so if you are planning a trip to New York, you should definitely stop by MoMA. And if you are in New York, you know where it is :)

Also, check out this video for the exhibition!

Super excited!!!

I thought it was so very cute. Stop motion video always gets me, the song is cute, too.

Well done!

Yes, I know, this is from 2002, but I watched “Catch Me if You Can” on the TV over the weekend and saw this amazing opening title sequence again and I remembered the first time I saw this — I was so drawn to it and thought it was one of the best opening title sequences ever. It’s been always in my head ever since, but I didn’t have a blog to post my inspirations at that time so I’m doing it now. Still gets me every time… so good! Love the music, too. Very inspiring and well done. Love the typography and the illustration, all works so well together. Enjoy!

Every time I watch these commercials on TV, I just can’t help myself going “ohhhhhhhhhhhhh” (and then, “what? A lottery commercial?!” — being in an advertising industry for a while, that is a good thing)

Have a sweet morning and a sweet day, everyone!

Etsy Handmade Moment contest now has finalists! I was watching some of the videos when they were just getting submissions and my favorite of all time is hine’s Mr. Squid’s Handmade Moment!! I knew her video would be the finalists, I mean, it is too good to not be one. I love all the amazing details she always puts into her work (I posted about her work here before) and it is cute and funny, makes me smile every time I watch it :) Click any images to watch the video.

He cuts his hand off and he keeps it in a box filled with ice! lol

Look at Mr. Squid’s creative room… everything is all made by her.
