What the f*ck? on the streets of Bishkek: part 2. How it was and what it is..

While writing the first post about the street art in Bishkek, I found that people who make such amazing works on the streets are not only talented and creative, but also very ambitious and single-hearted.

Denis Kapkanec, hero of my first post about street art, gave me interesting interview about the beginning of his way, the whole vision of this stream in Kyrgyzstan and his plans about art. Also he provided unique photos of his works which are almost lost because of dust, dirt and cleaning works.



What is street art in Bishkek, what are its characteristics, the development and the vision of it from the outside?

When celebrity "revives" in advertisement..

What can be more attractive and secure than making advertisement with successful and popular celebrities? Moreover when these celebrities are long dead?.....

Mars Chocolate UK makes a video with charming Audrey Hepburn who died 20 years ago. Beautiful actress advertises a chocolate "Galaxy" in old 50-s style. The sons of popular actress Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti gave the permission to use Hepburn's representation in the video. They said that their mom would be happy to play in a video because chocolate was one of her biggest pleasures in life.



Soundtrack to the commercial was popular "Moon river" from "Breakfast at Tiffany"'s movie which is the most recognizable film with Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn was used not only in this single advertisement, Japan advertisers consider the actress as their national star and like to use her representative in different advertisement campaigns.
