Welcome to Optimism

what’s wrong with this picture?

Blau

Couldn't help noticing this ad in the classified bits of Campaign. Is it just me, or is there something strange and disturbing about this image? Who is the cross-eyed man in the ginger wig? (Surely that's not 'Sheena'.) Why do they use the peculiar phrase 'more insight than you can shake a stick at'? Why would you 'shake a stick' at insight, however much of it there was? Is that a false moustache?

Blauw's website is as dry as a camel's nostril in a sandstorm and provides no answers to any of these troubling questions, or indeed references to insight, sticks, wigs, etc at all.

Perhaps it's a brilliantly subversive piece of creative work that's been done for Blau by someone like Mother. Or perhaps not.

The Travelling Pen

We have unveiled the latest Stairwell Exhibition!

The Travelling Pen – A mural & illustration by Sarah Fotheringham.

Former W+K Sider Sarah Fotheringham's vivid imagination allows her to capture unique perspectives from various places around the world. In this collection of illustrations we see glimpses of Japanese Sumo rankings, crowded Venice waterways, the beautiful Swiss landscape and the varied characters that populate Sarah's travels.

Sarah spent some time with us as a WK Sider and it's a pleasure to have her back. Take a look at her website here for more info.
