    If you're not going to Art-A-Whirl, the nation's largest open studio art crawl, in NE Minneapolis, or you want to hit up another event or two over the weekend, we have a few for you. The first is a celebration at the Minnesota Zoo for the park's 35th Anniversary of being open. It will be full of family fun events including Magician Matt Dunn will perform. Zookeepers will give talks on tiger cubs, black and grizzly bears, otters, and other animals. Kids can make a puppet craft and get their face painted.

  • Metro Published a Newspaper Devoid of Images to Get Attention for their Contest

    May 18th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Metro readers in Denmark were surprised to find that their familiar newspaper was completely without photos. Word quickly spread across social media that Metro had made a huge mistake. The ad agency TBWA Copenhagen had been tasked with developing a sticky campaign for the world’s biggest photo competition: Metro Photo Challenge. This “No Picture Edition” paid tribute to pictures by proving how much we miss them when they're not there. This innovative campaign — together with a new platform and a photo expedition as a prize for the winners — proved highly successful as the Metro Photo Challenge 2012 received buzz worldwide, which resulted in a 377% increase in participants and 139% more photos. Impressive.

  • Sébastien Thibault's Sweet, Witty Illustrations

    May 18th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Sébastien Thibault is the latest awesome illustrator hailing from Canada to catch our eye. His strong portfolio includes work for the likes of TIME, The Boston Globe, and Rolling Stone Italy who have all appreciated his talents for taking sometimes quite abstract or convoluted concepts and rendering them with wit. He’s particularly adept at tackling themes around technology and our shifting relationship with it, although he also does a nice line in more weird and wonderful subjects too.

  • Whiskey Storm: The World's First Interactive Weather Machine

    May 18th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Talisker owns the only distillery on the Isle of Skye in Scotland which happens to be one of the wettest places in the country (where a light drizzle can quickly transform into a full-blown weather phenomenon). The whiskey-makers wanted to bring their tempestuous weather to whiskey-drinkers across Europe — so they set up a 25-foot interactive installation to give them a taste. Sweet.
