Iconic painters as product endorsers

Ad agency Leo Burnett Switzerland created these clever posters for Samsung to promote its NX Mini camera. We can see Albrecht Dürer, Frida Kahlo, and Vincent Van Gogh taking pictures of themselves, with the tagline For Self-Portraits. Not Selfies. Van Gogh's work can be seen in the background. Kahlo's plants are featured in her poster, and Dürer's prints are on a table near his window ledge.

For those not familiar with the NX Mini, the device is one of the smallest mirrorless cameras on the market today, and one of the more affordable. Despite its size, the camera boasts a large, 3-inch tilting touchscreen TFT LCD display with a 320x480 HVGA resolution. It has a 20.5 megapixel 1-inch type BSI CMOS sensor and is capable of 6 frames per second continuous shooting. Of course it features both Wi-Fi and NFC technology for easy pairing and sharing with smartphones and tablets.

He's a master illusionist and he challenges us to question what we see, to look beyond the obvious, and to embrace the fluidity of existence.

More Than Just Smiles and Sunsets

Ayala Museum is currently hosting "Amorsolo: Chroma" - a spectrum of brilliance you wouldn't want to miss. It is more than just a collection of paintings; it’s an experience. It’s a masterclass in light and color, a journey into the mind of a Filipino genius, and a fresh perspective on an artist many of us thought we knew. The first thing that you will notice you when you step into "Chroma" is… well, the chroma. While Amorsolo is famed for his mastery of light, this exhibition dives deeper into his entire color palette. It’s like entering a vibrant, living spectrum. Go check it!

Press Play Again

You know that feeling when you stumble upon an old movie you haven't seen in years? It's like finding a dusty photo album and flipping through the pages, only instead of bad hairstyles, you're greeted with hideous special effects and awful dialogue. Also, the dramatic tension I remembered as nail-biting was now… well, a little slow-paced. But the truly entertaining part of rewatching a movie is that you notice things you never did before. For example, in Midnight Cowboy , I didn't know that the guy who gave Joe Buck (Jon Voight) a blow job was played by Bob Balaban, who later became known for his role as Russell Dalrymple, the fictional president of NBC in Seinfeld . Released in 1969, Midnight Cowboy is a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, often heartbreaking, but ultimately deeply human. And seriously, the chemistry between Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Buck is pure gold. Rewatching a movie is like visiting an old friend. You know their idiosyncrasies, their stories, bu...
