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.

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...

So, have you given Chloe Qisha a listen yet?

What I love about the Malaysian-born singer-songwriter is her knack for crafting those sad/happy songs – music that makes you want to cry and hit the dance floor at the same time. Chloe writes about love, anxiety, and self-acceptance with such wit and honesty. Her beauty is also undeniable – a perfect blend of modern allure and timeless Asian elegance. Her looks shine through with such grace and an effortlessly cool confidence. Here is my favorite.
