Hieronymus Bosch Action Figures

This helmeted bird monster is carrying a pencil box and an ink pot in its beak, in which the nun, decaying into a pig, is dipping her pen. A severed foot is swinging from the bird's helmet referring to the horrible corporal punishments which could be expected in hell. The pig, indeed an indictment against the decay of clergy life, is tempting the man who is sitting beside him and it appears that he is drawing up a contract. Is the man possibly selling his soul?

Collectible quality, resin with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish. Dimensions: 3.25 in. x 4.75 in. x 2.5 in. PN# JB11, $42

Theo Jansen

Five months after being awarded the prestigious BMW (South Africa) advertising account, fledgling creative hotshop Ireland/Davenport launched the agency's first new TV commercial for the brand. Shot in the Netherlands utilising the moving sculptures of world-renowned artist Theo Jansen, the commercial, entitled "Kinetic Sculptures" forms part of a broader campaign which serves to highlight BMW's market leadership in the fields of technology and innovation.

P.S.  Not sure how hard it is to make an advertisement for BMW these days, but it seems like trolling through a few blogs and buggering off for a weekend with an HDV camera would probably do the trick.
