2. Barely noticing anything else, I first identified the Macarena song track - which elicited the happy memory of a cousin's wedding. Only then did I follow the smart image sequence which led me to the product. Kudos to the HP madmen/women, who masterminded this pleasantly painless office-jet printer pitch! They got me dancing, took me boating and caught me happier at the end! Too bad I already have an Epson!
3. Seriously superb film/TV graphics still make me covetous. Cinematography too. And experiencing them I say: 'Yes! I'd sign my name to that in a moment, unabashedly, unhesitatingly, admiringly!' When visual art is excellently visual it speaks for itself. But saying something that way is a difficult and wonderful process, one I am familiar with. I love the uniquely creative gift that selects, skillfully juxtaposes, smartly manipulates and playfully engages me as I have also managed to sometimes do. And even today, I am bouyed at the memory of having favorably impressed a remarkably gifted fellow-artist whose process differed so much from mine. The end-result is crucial, but so is the creative process. I love knowing that. Awareness of everyday art, as well as the fine art of awareness itself, requires no admission nor ticket price. However, without attentive sensibility and a somewhat alert, aesthetic appetite, everything fades to black. That makes living hard.
