Believe it or not, every once in a while I actually make useful things.

I actually came to Scotland to finish my degree, though for the first 4 1/3 weeks of the 6 week program, I worked on this website and neglected to learn anything. Around week 4 1/2 I realized that I may actually fail, so I did what I came to do and finished the project on “visualizing Edinburgh” I decided to do an advertising campaign for a nightclub that I like called the Cabaret Voltaire.

I think advertising is fascinating for a lot of reasons. The primary reason being that sometimes, a commercial or a billboard will make me say, “whuh? does Absolut Vodka actually condone that?” In which case. I will buy whatever product it is. It could be a gasoline beverage; I will buy it.

So, I made a portrait of the city of Edinburgh being completely ruined by some menacing characters to go with the theme of “visualizing Edinburgh”. Edinburgh is an incredibly beautiful city. Apparently, the reason is partly because the WWII European Tour 1939-1945 skipped over Edinburgh. SO, I visualized Edinburgh experiencing an apocalypse at the hands of Santa Clause and his cronies, and made it into an Ad Campaign.

CHECK IT OUT IN THE ART SECTION.

On another note of complete irrelevance. This is Hugh Bagley. He “ran” as a write-in president in 2008. He wants to Annex Mexico. It’s probably that easy. Problem solved. Good plan.

I only mentioned him because I needed a picture to pull this post together.
