Eugene and Louise Bakery

This is what happens when two imaginative illustrators open up their own bakery and candy shop. Great packaging. Whimsical marzipan characters. A careful attention to every branding detail. Yeah, this is pretty tasty stuff. If you're in the Antwerp area, get a sneak peek of the whole experience at the Lucy penthouse on March 6.

Fiction

"Millions of Americans don't believe there was a Holocaust," explains this poster for Hillel Colorado's Holocaust Awareness Week. Nice work from TDA in Boulder.

Most Wanted Painting

In honor of Presidents Day here in the United States, I offer up America's Most Wanted Painting. This painting was scientifically assembled in 1994 after asking 1,001 American adults what they most enjoy in a painting. The color blue, realistic landscapes, historical figures, wildlife, and happy families scored very high. Hey, you can't argue with poll numbers. Read more about this project from artists Komar and Melamid right here.

Sound of Color

Five musicians were each given a color. Each musician then wrote a track inspired by that color. Those tracks were then given to five directors. You can watch the resulting videos here.
