Living life in the best art gallery on earth.



I got really excited today when it hit me... I am now living in the best art gallery on earth! The works of art are in the forms of advertisements. New York is the center of the world when it comes to advertising, it is everywhere and is done very well.  I enjoy as I take the subway there is a group of advertisements for Ben and Jerry's reading "We married ice cream and hot fudge together- don't worry it's legal in Vermont." Taxis passing  by on the streets with the Snickers campaign  on top, "Snaxi, Take a Field Trip to the Peanutarium, Peanutopolis," so I guess I am going to have to learn to speak "Snacklish."   The Pepsi ads in Times Square, I am like a kid in a candy store in New York City- an endless supply of great ads to think about, figure out what the strategy is, search the agency -who did it, apply to the agency who did it, ect....   I love the marriage of  advertising and new york city!
