Map of the World Fair

That would look like a world map if the area for each country is distributed according to population. This should be carried one condition: the whole country habitable. See the picture in full size.

I haven't featured any advertisements in a while and discovered this one at Ads of the World this week. I admit it made me smile when I first saw it. The "Come As You Are" campaign must be working well for them in France since I remember seeing it two years ago when I was there. Not this ad, of course, but the same tagline. Wonder if Cendrillon ordered any of the little bags of cherry tomatoes I kept picking up when we would stop for drinks. I was always desperate for fresh fruit and veggies while traveling despite the many trips into little groceries for oranges and such. I still can't look at a baguette without flinching either since it constitutes most "fast" food in France, excepting the wonderful crepes in Paris, of course, of which I never tire. But southern France required daily baguette eating if we were to visit all the many sites during the day.

Little Red Riding Hood illustrated by Daniel Egneus

Little Red Riding Hood illustrated by Daniel Egneus will be released on January 25th. This is another tie-in with the upcoming movie release, but not as closely related to the film itself, more of a mutually beneficial release promotion. The book uses the Grimms' version of the tale, not the film version. The imagery is loose and beautiful, see below for examples.

Book description from the publisher:

Here are “Little Red” and “the Wolf” as you’ve never seen them before – stunningly reinterpreted by internationally renowned artist Daniel Egnéus. One of the most oft-told fairytales of all time, Little Red Riding Hood is an adventure story, a coming of age story, a cautionary tale – and it’s soon to be a major Hollywood motion picture produced by Leonardo diCaprio, directed by Catherine Hardwicke of the Twilight films fame, and starring Amanda Seyfried from Big Love, Mamma Mia! and Letters to Juliet, along with Julie Christie and Gary Oldman. Daniel Egnéus’s elegant, romantic, and hypnotic illustrations carry a new generation breathlessly into the deep, dark woods for a haunting, unforgettable experience unparalleled by anything else in the waking world.

Here are some images from the book courtesy of the publisher's website:

Finally, here's a video about the making of the book. You can also learn more about him on his website which mostly offers a collection of images from his other projects, not this one currently.
