I got interested in Absolut ads about a year ago, and started doing spoofs of them relating to academy life and friends. Well, I kept doing this, and they got better and better, and just recetly I got a really crazy idea. I wrote a letter to the manager of the advertising agency of Absolut Vodka and asked him to look at my stuff. I haven't gotten any reply back yet, but when I do, I'm expeting it to be in the form of a regection letter. But I definately want to do an ad for them. They do inserts for magazines every once and a while using collections of art relating to Absolut by a bunch of modern and lesser well known artists. I think I can be one, if I get real lucky.

This is an attempt to incorporate Absolut into one of my works. It didn't work very well, but this is just a sketch. The bombs are supposed to be Absolut bottles, but this is too large of a scale to actually see them. I'll work on modifying this, because I think it has potential. We'll see.
