The universal symbol of coffee – a Starbucks paper cup – seldom has any more drawings on it than a marker-written name on it. Not sure if Tomoko Shintani from Japan was inspired by this empty space, or just because you always wanna play around with something while chilling with a coffee, but her Starbucks cups became part of whimsical and cartoonish drawings.

These creatively dangerous ads were created by Fischer America for a design studio called Macacolandia with a message “Give More Life to Drawings”. Art Director: Hugo Amaral. Illustration: Marcelo Braga. Photo: Lucio Cunha.

You get really suspicious when you see the pictures made by Diego Fazio and are told that they are not actually captured by camera. Known to the Deviantart users as DiegoKoi, this self-taught Italian creates his unbelievable paintings by using a pencil only.

Aspara pencil manufacturers from Mumbai, India found a creative way to help the customers choose from a pile. The company in cooperation with the artist Vipin Baria from Delhi, India created an advertising campaign communicating that Aspara drawing pencils make pictures come alive. Vipin Baria drew several portraits reacting to the pencil, moving over their faces. The unique idea is definitely eye caching and puts a smile on one‘s face.
