Nice bit of outdoor advertising from Nokia… A digital panel in the shape of an arrow was lifted 50 metres above London by a crane. People on the street could send text messages directly to the live sign with their favourite places to visit, and the arrow would move to point to that location, and also provide the distance!

Flickr user DeGobbi’s “Crawler Town” is an insanely detailed and most magnificent rolling cyberpunk city executed in Lego: “Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes.”

The Narwhal is an Arctic-dwelling toothed whale that has been called ”the unicorn of the sea” due to its long pointy tusk. There is debate about the true purpose of this tusk, but finally the truth is revealed…
The narwhal uses its tusk to impale the cute animals of the world, specifically baby seals, baby penguins and koalas. This 5-1/2” long, hard vinyl Narwhal comes with four magic tusks (crystal, onyx, ruby and ice) to impale the three 1-1/2” long, soft vinyl cuties.

Great optical illusion billboard ad for a paint company, pitching “Natural Finish Colours”. Achieved by cutting out strips that are the actual shape and size of the roller strokes.
