Jon Paul's Three Cities

Last August, I met Jon Paul,  writer and content producer for the web site Poptimistic (http://www.poptimistic.com). He shared this tattoo, one of three he has, from his upper right arm:

Jon Paul's focus on Poptimistic is travel and food. He credits the work to the artist Friday Jones, who does custom tattoo work out of Senses New York Salon & Spa in the Flat Iron District. I mentioned Ms. Jones back on Tattoosday in 2009 here.

Jon Paul explained that he originally met Ms. Jones in New Orleans when she did "the very first tattoo [he] got ... the compass that the rest of the tattoo is built around." About a year later, he elaborated, "I went back to her and said, 'Now I want you to build a whole piece around my three favorite spots in the world.' So she designed it custom from that." She did it over three sessions.

Represented among Jon Paul's three favorite places are New York City, where he calls home:

The Big Apple is represented by the Statue of Liberty and by the iconic Art Deco style of the landmark Chrysler Buillding.

Paris is represented by the Eiffel Tower:

Sydney, Australia is represented by it's recognizable Opera House:

Jon Paul said " Sydney I love just for the sheer beauty of it and the people ... are lovely." Jon Paul elaborates further on why he loves Australia in this post, which includes another photo of his tattoo.

Thanks to Jon Paul for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Super Cool Melbourne Graffiti Heaven

Rutledge lane or Hosier lane is one of graffiti paradise in Melbourne, many graffiti writers and street artist who visited Melbourne painted here.

Unlike most of City Council or City Authority in the world, Melbourne City Council regards graffiti as primarily a product of an urban environment that should be engaged with creatively, not something that it merely takes a strict zero tolerance approach to.

Banned BillyCock Demin Ads

Are you willing to kill for a pair of denim? Australian commercial that got banned from TV.

Australian jean maker BillyCock apparently makes denim worth dying for, and you might be agree after watching the video below that the tagline should have been Worth Killing For. TV networks had been approached for airing the ads, but they had declined to run the ads because of its strong content. 

However, the ads will still pass for cinema and the internet.

Food Flag Of The World

Food Flags is a series of ads promoting Crave Sydney International Food Festival in which national emblems were made out of edibles indigenous to the country it represents. Food Flags is definitely one of the tastiest ads campaigns.
