"Consumerism is self-expression for the uncreative."
I almost forgot that I suggested this topic - thank you Illustration Friday for picking it out:-).
From the hungarian supermarket garden ...
It occurs only every four years, but still it was just the ordinary day ...
I'm painting these turtles since 1997 - for no particular reason. No. 1 is in Australia - it migrated there with Nadja and her family. 4 and 6 are hanging on the wall of Renata's living room in Slovenia. No. 7 is in my aunt's kitchen in Croatia - it was made for my cousin's 10th birthday. 2, 3, 5 and 8 are standing upon our bookshelf at home. There are at least 20 other turtles here and there - 12 of them went to a traveling exhibition ten years ago and never returned back ...
This idea was created by Primoz and me in november 2007 at Kalidays festival - it won the 1st place at the Start Smart Copy and Art workshop led by dutch creative team Martin Mol and Jos van der Lee. Here you can see them talking very nicely about our work! Anyhow, our task was to create a billboard, which would attract viewers to visit European film festival at Slovenian Cinematheque. Later on, I came up with some visual solutions for the slogans and two of them were realized in form of Feliks cards (free promo cards). Here is the first one:
It says "European movie dares to be cheap" and it made it's way to the finale of Magdalena Festival last week. The second one says "European movie dares to ------- the hero" and unfortunately it didn't made it to the finale of Magdalena:
The third one was even less fortunate: not only that it didn't made it into finale, but it was never printed as well ... It says "European movie dares to show MORE": 
Euroteka festival began in january and it will end next month, so I guess this is a conclusion of our idea as well.
