Check out am i collective’s latest work(s) of art - the Bare Project. See excerpt:

BARE! The am i collective’s latest project marries our motley in-house talents with a handpicked crop of outside artists to share in our vision – provoking boundary pushing art while helping others. We’ve prettied up the soon-to-be-famous, limited edition, 40cm-tall BAREs. Next we want to send these beasties to galleries in all corners of the world. Then we’ll auction them off, on line. Before finally donating all the proceeds to child welfare. Because BARE really cares about you. And the children.

Stonewall’s own Nicolas Rix took part and was also featured - see below.

I always get a big kick out of seeing retouched photos. Not the cheesy ’stick a head on someone else’s body’, Chuck Norris-type retouching, but shots that trick you and make you think ‘is that real, or is that Photoshopped? Just stumbled across the amazing work of photographer and digital artist Erik Johansson. His work is simply out of this world. Check it out.

An absolute must-see is the new Johnnie Walker spot - if you can call it that. It’s called “The Man Who Walked Around the World” and it’s a six-minute piece of storytelling that features Robert Carlyle walking through the Scottish Highlands. The ad was produced by BBH London and was directed by HLA director Jamie Rafn. Check it out below.

Absolutely flawless, and yes, it’s a single take. Well, it took 40 tries to get it right, but the end result is phenomenal.

You can read more about it on the BBH Labs website, or check out the interview with Jamie Rafn here.
