DALEAST DISCOUNT EVOLUTION TIME LAPSE

DALeast quickly became my favorite street artist in 2012. With larger than life animals bursting from building sides,  Dal's unique style and attention to detail gave the world a truly fresh take on the animal kingdom and possibly a striking metaphor for their relationship to us and our sprawling urban landscapes. As you'll see from the video below, no one went bigger than Dal. Watch his process putting up one of his latest works, 'Discount Evolution.' in Rochester, NY. via wooster collective

It's obviously a beautiful thing —and a clever use of hidden camera to capture authentic reactions. Score one for the booty. Via: Rob E & Schwartzie14

COD: BLACK OPS FEEDS YOUR INNER SOLDIER

Saw the abbreviated version of this great piece of advertising for Call of Duty: Black Ops during MNF last night. The full version is below. It's amazing what simple and great thinking can create. Of course, it doesn't hurt when you have one of the best ad agencies, Chiat, at the helm. Via: Brands Are Opinions
