Surreal & Abstract Ingenuity (David Fuhrer)

David Fuhrer is an up and coming artistic talent who was born 1985, in Bern, Switzerland. In his childhood, he was inspired by Disney movies and the careers of astronauts. As he grew up, he cites gaming and countless artists as huge influences on his works. His earlier works were more abstract but he mentions that his productions have become more focused over time.

In his interview (here), David Fuhrer stated that a single illustration could take months to complete.

David Fuhrer never went to any schools as he wears a shirt stating "my school is life". He is an incredible self taught artist and flash developer with immense creativity. Illustrations such as the Big Tree or Metal Heart showcases his imagination.

Surrealistic Brilliance (Jacek Yerka)

Jacek Yerka was born in Toruń, Poland, in 1952. He grew up with an artistic family and wanted to differentiate his own art style from his parents' artistic techniques. Jacek Yerka mentioned that he faced pressure from professors to change his techniques to suit the more contemporary styles that were more popular at the time. He persevered with his own artistic style that was greatly influenced by Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Hugo van der Goes and Jan van Eyck. Jacek Yerka became a full fledged artist in 1980 and from then on has won multiple international awards.


Jacek Yerka's classical Flemish painting technique is full of incredible details that accentuates the surrealistic themes of his work. The artistic pieces appear as though they came straight out of a wildly bizarre dream.

Jobs in Town Ads

Jobs In Town, a German staffing agency, devised these creative eye catching ads for their marketing campaign. The ads translate to "Life's too short for the wrong job" and brilliantly emphasize on that statement. These creative ads won numerous awards for their imaginative depiction of miserable working conditions through the use of the cut out technique.



There is much truth to the statement in the ads but given the economic situation these days, our choices are unfortunately limited.



Did anyone notice the arcade showing Space Invaders but the employee inside is dealing with Mario props? A slight blunder there.

Five Weird Commercials

I'm sure many have seen the insane Old Spice commercials featuring Isaiah Mustafa "The Man Your Man could Smell Like". The tactic of adding extremely bizarre elements to a marketing campaign produced some very successful commercials. These commercials were not as well known as the Old Spice commercials but they are just as peculiar.



A Japanese commercial about high blood pressure which I had to ask myself "what did I just watch?". I found this commercial to be strange but also comical. This is one of the craziest way to advertise a product.




This was a very clever Sega Saturn commercial which is now around 15 years old. It has the element of crazy yet amusing at the same time. It was very relevant to their products unlike some other commercials.




A fairly odd commercial about... light bulbs. It does not seem to be about anything at all until the very end.




This commercial has successfully convinced me to never have kids. Wow, just wow. The product this commercial is advertising makes the commercial far out there though.




I did not find a relation between this commercial and its product at all. The girl at one point almost appear to be having a seizure. This is a unique and peculiar commerical.

Korean Comics (Yang Young-soon Part 2)

Here is the next set of comics by Yang Young-soon. I found the paper airplane promotion hilarious and wonder how true that would be in reality if two employees were similarly talented. In the other comics, the author has exceptional skill in revealing the more shallow aspects of society.
