GHAVA was commissioned by Wolff Olins to create a series of art and videos for AOL’s new brand identity which launched December 2009. I had the chance to get messy making art for few of these and shot stop-frame animations of the art being created. Check out more of the work GHAVA did for this project here.
Derek Lerner “Unfinished” & Skullphone “SMILE YOU’RE IN NYC”
Crossposted from 12ozProphet
I did this a while ago an am just now getting around to posting about it. My thinking with this was that it was in such a high-traffic area and bound to be added too quickly, I never thought of the piece as being finished. Skulphone had previously put up a poster, “SMILE YOU’RE IN NYC”, that I ultimately worked around. You can see more photos here.
