New York City yellow cabs will soon be covered bumper-to-bumper in these weather proof flower decals, most of which were hand painted by area elementary schoolers. The work is part of
Portraits of Hope, a foundation that works to provide creative therapy for terminally sick children.
I wanted to draw attention to this for four reasons:
1. This is a good idea. Any product or company could have done full cab wraps and (assuming it was done in an attractive way and on a large scale) gotten some good buzz.
2. Everything cool happens in New York.
3. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd become a conceptual artist and dream up things like this all day.
4. Some of the comments posted below the story are pretty funny: "Pointless, worthless, mindless, garbage
." Way to let those terminally ill kids have it!

This week in our Creative Thinking class, the assignment was to write and perform a song about Snickers, Ford or the Virginia Paint Company. Here's my effort. Please save your applause for the end.
My first tastes of failure have prompted me to link this inspiring post in Fenske's, Mark blog. Don't read into how I felt it relates to me. Just enjoy.
Great effort out of Fallon London on behalf of Cadbury Milk Chocolate. The strategy is "There's no clever science behind it - it's just an effort to make you smile, in exactly the same way Cadbury Dairy Milk does." The execution is, well, just watch it. It's great. Via Adfreak.
