nycgo.com: An Amazing Advertising Campaign Brings Warmth, Joy
While it has been brutally frigid in NYC this winter, my walks outside have been made warmer by seeing this amazing ad campaign featuring day-glo images by artist Steven Wilson. These summery-fresh-tastic images are so over-the-top, so surreal, so dripping with color, it makes me want to wear shorts and skip barefoot in spite of the icy sidewalks all around.
I hardly noticed what this poster was even promoting; it just made me smile the instant I first saw the dripping hot dog at our local bus shelter. Stylistically, it looks like Peter Max dreaming about the Yellow Submarine in an art gallery filled with artwork by Claus Oldenburg.
Check out Steven’s website for even more amazing images from this campaign here. And, of course, don’t forget the nycgo.com site.
Stay warm!
I had the same reaction you did when I first spotted this! I love his illustrations. Ugh, how many more weeks until spring?

Well, it’s still only January. So I think we’re still in the chill.

I wonder if Steve Wilson has Kustaa Saksi’s ‘Offpiste’ book on his bookshelf??!!
