Hasta La Motion!

Nick Cave, is a multi-talented artist who dabbles with textiles that make a ruckus. Soundsuits, born at the collision of twigs and a sewing machine are ornate costumes made of materials ranging from human hair, sisal, plastic buttons, feathers and sequins that bring to life a new sound when shakin’ and groovin’ is added to the mix. To be worn or gawked at in a gallery, these music makers are suh-weet. You can check them out in person, at the “Meet Me at the Center of the Earth” exhibit at the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles, now until May 30th.

The San Diego Ad Club asked Shilo and WMIG to create a campaign to recruit fellow creatives to enter the 2010 ADDY competition. The ADDYs are the advertising industry’s biggest showdown and a place for trade peers to bum-rush for the title of brilliance in a Creative Director pile up. But since the event is never set in the American Gladiator arena (as one would hope), imagine a little less spandex and more a display of creative prowess.

Now on display are three portraits of tortured “creatives” in a behind-the-scenes look of self mutilation for the sake of their artistic endeavors. Cause let’s be real, sometimes we take ourselves way too seriously. We pay homage to the real tortured artists Van Gogh, Steven Sagmeister and Chris Burden and we inspire agencies to get the recognition they deserve for all of their hard work. So please, direct yourself to the Television section of our webby page and take a peek of the “Don’t Torture Yourself For Nothing” campaign.
