Renaud Deha wants you to shoot his blog with either your mobile phone or digital camera. This is my submission. If he receives 1000 submissions by December 31, 2006, the winning submission (most creative photo) will win a new Mac computer. Details on Shoot My Blog.

I like the direction the Domino's Pizza commercials are taking. The "Fudgems" brownie character is pretty funny. I find it entertaining because the chocolate goo he leaves behind looks like poo. It's base, I know, but I do find it funny. But the website, on the other hand, is a little crappy (pun intended).

The Pet Shop Boys, that is. This beautiful new music video is titled Numb and is directed by Julian Gibbs & Julian House via production agency Intro. Scooped from Shots.

I found this site on Stash magazine's blog Feed. Nice site and some interesting work including this music video for Matthew Herbert, graphics for Nike, and the art direction for Rojo magazine -- where there is some great content. I bookmarked it. Enjoy.

Reginald Pike Director Yael Staav has created a two minute-film, via Ogilvy & Mather Toronto, for Dove's campaign for real beauty. It's posted online at www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca. On the site girls can sign-up to attend "Real Beauty Workshops" to discuss how society creates "idea" images of beauty and how to improve self-image.

Hello Hello is Stephen Crowhurst - artist, director, illustrator & surface designer. Formerly with The Ebeling Group, Steph has just been signed to Toronto's Spy Films for worldwide representation. Now he just needs a girlfriend.

The Three Legged Legs are a Santa Monica-based directing collective AKA Greg Gunn, Casey Hunt and Reza Rasoli -- and I love their work. They are repped in the US via Green Dot Films, in the UK by Rokkit, in Canada by Suneeva & in France via Wanda. Check out their personal site here.

UNTITLED director Hubert Davis does some beautiful visuals for Toronto Star via Lowe Roche, Toronto. Watch "Why?" here.

I'm still in Alberta. Here is a picture of what once was my great uncle Sam's garage in Hairy Hill, Alberta. Yes, there is a town called Hairy Hill. The story is that the bison used to go there & literally shed their hair on the town's hill, hence Hairy Hill. I'm back in Toronto on Thursday.

Glossy is away until Thursday, September 21. I've gone to visit my Baba (Ukrainian for Grandma) in Vegreville, Alberta, home of the giant Pysanka -- Easter Egg. More info on the egg here.

Beautiful and whimsical spot for Orange. Directed by Noam Murro. Via Brand Republic.

Yes, I admit it, I was googling my company name. But I found this really cool graphic design & art direction site out of Belgium. I'll happily share with them. Glossy.tv. 

MTV 48FEST - 8 HIV & AIDS related short films, a panel of celebrity judges, one winner. The films will be airing on MTV Canada, with this programme graphic, on September 19th. Directed by Julian Grey of Toronto's Head Gear Animation.

This spot answers the age old question: is cotton candy a protein or a carb? Hilarious. Oh, bit of trivia here, there is less fat in cotton candy than there is in an ice cream cone. In case you were wondering.

I want this phone for a number of reasons; it's not out in Canada yet, its specs are amazing, I love Nokia phones & Graydon Sheppard made four really cool commercials for them. The latest two are here, the previously released two are here. Watch Graydon's showreel here. BTW Graydon was nominated for Best International New Director at last week's Shark Awards.

Thanks to Sean at Youthography for hooking me up to go see Phoenix at Toronto's Mod Club on Friday night. Phoenix put on an amazing show for an intimate invitation only crowd. I LOVE Phoenix & had a fantastic time. More pics here.

As mentioned on Thursday, here is more on Toronto's Evian Spa. Sharpe Blackmore's creation of the spa was "simply a non-traditional creative idea that helped solve the client’s business challenges." -- Meaning, why do a print campaign if you can build a spa? See the creation/construction video here & video of the launch pary here.

These three spots for the Fallsview Casino via BBDO Toronto are great. Short, simple, sweet. Directed by Reginald Pike's Mark Gilbert.

I love the Canadian Advertising Club website and I'm happy they posted Suzuki "Wolfboys" because I saw it on TV the other night & thought it was absolutely terrible. There is a website too www.wolfboys.ca, I checked it out but I just can't get past the annoyingly stupid wolfboys. The agency is Diesel Montreal, who normally does great work, but this campaign really misses the mark for me.

I went to the launch of the Evian Spa in Toronto last night, conceived & created by Sharpe Blackmore Euro RSCG. The spa opened on the eve of the Toronto International Film Festival & will only be operating until September 30th. Not only is it a spa, but it is also an interactive exhibit on the history of Evian -- guerrilla mixed with rejuvenation, so to speak. More pictures here.

For the official opening of the first Lee Jeans boutique in Paris, TriBeCa has dressed up the surroundings of the rue des Rosiers. Great guerrilla. Via Coolzor - Marketing Thoughts.

Jeff Derringer of Hired Goons makes great music for TV commercials. His recent work includes such big brands as Adidas, Fox Sports Net & Burger King. Jeff was also featured in the July Music Issue of Creativity magazine. Watch his reel here.

Sorry I've been offline for the past four days but my hosting company got hacked on Friday. Very annoying. Everything is back to normal now  .
