Christopher Nielsen/ 'Tis The Season

Thought it was appropriate to post some Christ-opher-mas stuff done recently. It being the season for it and all. This one was for the Sydney Morning Herald Christmas Food Guide

...and this one for Spinach Advertising's CSR "Bake A Difference" campaign.

CLEMENGER EXHIBITION/ Christopher Nielsen

Chris Badger, Head of Art at Clemenger BBDO advertising recently invited me to exhibit my work in Clemenger's Sydney offices in a new space devoted entirely to showcasing interesting art to their art directors and clients. In an environment designed to showcase new and exciting artists as great campaign options, Clemenger are asking illustrators and photographers to participate on a monthly basis.

Chris said "this way we get some great work to look at and the artist gets the chance to get their work seen and sold".

I'm really excited to have my canvases up in front of such a great potential art buying audience who can not only purchase original work but also commission illustration for campaigns.

Thinking About Drinking? / Ben Sanders

Clemenger BBDO Adelaide launched MAC South Australia's new Drink Driving campaign. All illustrations, custom typography and graphics were created by The Milk Agency. It was a fun project to be involved in as it's centered around mock beer labels with messages suggesting alternatives to driving home after a night of drinking. The illustrated labels have been made into coasters and distributed to Pubs in SA, along with the posters. You can view the TV ad at http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,27574,26066643-2682,00.html or read the Campaign Brief article at http://www.campaignbrief.com/2009/09/clemenger-adelaide-thinking-ab.html

Account Director, Bryce Coombe says, "This may be one of the first anti-drink driving campaigns that people actually enjoy."
