These Artists are Huge!
To protect Asian elephant habitats, the National Geographic Society is raising money by selling elephant paintings. No, these aren't paintings OF elephants; they're paintings BY elephants. These pachyderms are regular Pollocks, making art using gravity and bodily movements, without the fancy theory and high price tags. You can get your own original Ramona for only $325. The one drawback to these paintings is their corny new age titles (tacked on by two-legged art dealers, no doubt). Only via the web could such art truly find its target market -- from the heart of Asia to a bourgeois living room near you.

   those that watch things happen...
   those that wonder what's happened....
When it comes to your communications strategy, which kind are you?

Culture Watch
Cameron Crowe's latest film Vanilla Sky is loaded with big themes and intense moments. On a palette of dreams, he mixes sex and smiles, love and obsession, beauty and scars. There is no 'happy ending', but rather a happy beginning followed by a sad middle and a hopeful finale. But as David Aames (Tom Cruise) opened his eyes to a new life at the end of the film, I left the cinema wondering whether his newfound hope was real enough for the audience to take away.
