Creative Campaign
In collaboration with a new generation of artists, ABSOLUT VODKA is introducing

ABSOLUT has always challenged conventions through creative collaborations with artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Douglas Gordon and Louise Bourgeois. ABSOLUT BLANK is a daring new chapter for ABSOLUT.
“In ABSOLUT BLANK, ABSOLUT has boldly made its iconic bottle into a blank canvas to inspire artists throughout the world to collaborate and fill it with creativity. We brought together artist collaborators from a variety of disciplines and watched the journey from pure white canvas to exceptional pieces of art. The result depicts how artists and creativity are inspired through ABSOLUT,” says Mark Hamilton, Global Marketing Director at The Absolut Company.
The 18 artists participating in ABSOLUT BLANK represent a variety of creative disciplines; from drawing, painting and sculpting to print making, film making and digital art. Among the artworks are UVA’s high intensity, bright and striking light installations, Mario Wagner’s cut-out imagery and the graphic design of Robert Mars, the colorful painting of Dave Kinsey and the detailed work of Good Wives and Warriors, best known for making labor-intensive, imaginative, intricate and large-scale drawings with titles such as ‘Giant Squids Attacking the Earth’.

Rapping with Surfrider CEO Jim Moriarty
International Surf Day ~ thought I would cover the Raddest surfrider in the world…

SH~ Surfrider’s 80-plus chapters are the picture of grass-roots power on the hoof. If you could rally all of the chapters and all of Surfrider’s substantial resources for one year, and commit to one single effort, what would it be?
JM~ The single largest issue that our chapters are facing in local areas is plastics. We have a large focus on wave preservation, beach access, water quality, etc., and in any given place each of those have differing values of local importance. For example if you live in Maine the number one issue is beach access because more than 80 percent of the coast is private … you can’t get to the beach or waves. The issue facing ALL communities is the plastic we’re letting go down our storm drains and into our lineups, oceans and beaches.
SH~ Leave us with a simple way for surfers to improve their spot.
JM~ It’s been suggested that the new localism is to “own” your local beach. That is, stand up when it’s under threat, clean it up when it’s dirty, and show up when you’re asked to. This isn’t complex. Next time you paddle out, pick up a few pieces of trash. That one or two pieces are literally one or two pieces that won’t be floating around the ocean and probably killing fish and birds. Start there. Be a real local, “own” your local beach.
