Art for Ad's Sake

It’s art for ad’s sake.

The guiding principle of this newsletter/blog/website/mood-board is that gate-keeping is for dorks. Creativity, whether it’s commercial or otherwise is always improved when we are exposed to influence and reference.

Sharing is caring.

What’s in it?

Inspiration. References. Thoughts. Motivations.

Sometimes I’ll focus on an artist, a movement, a personality, a trend from modern art because I think it has an interesting application for the world of advertising creativity.

Sometimes I might post some of my own art in the form of writing or imagery.

Sometimes I post interviews or guest editions where people in and outside of advertising talk about art they like, ads they like and other stuff.

Who reads it?

People who work in advertising. People who work with advertising people. People who like advertising (they exist!) People who want to understand art from a different perspective. People who make stuff. People who want to make stuff better. People who are creative. People who say they’re not creative.

Kunst Please?

That’s a podcast about modern art that this ‘sletter kind of replaced. It has less to do with advertising, and more to do with art. It’s fun to say and fun to listen to!

Thanks for reading.
