I scream, YOU scream !

STOYN is a Russian advertising agency that has developed this genius range of ice creams.  They decided to materialize iconic characters from world's culture such as Darth Vader, Marilyn Monroe, Donald Duck, Che Guevara, Super Mario * <3 * and others in form of these intriguing flavors of ice cream. They really look cool, I would love to try them. The promotional event was organized under the slogan " Lick your idol" and judging by the photos from the event, looks like everyone had great fun doing so.

Ice cream was an inspiration for one of my favorite artist couples : Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. They like to make king size public art installations of everyday objects. Back in 2001. in Cologne, they installed a giant sculpture of an ice cream cone dropped upside down on top of a building. And they had chosen not just any building, but a shopping mall to emphasize the cornucopia of consumerism.


Another ice cream related piece of art are these ice cream cone lamps for eco-friendly light bulbs which look so real and cute. Designed by studio Mixko, although I'm not sure if they can still be bought somewhere as the designers from this studio parted and they each run their own studios now.

And for the end of this post , my favorite- ice cream taking a poop.
