According to this website http://designcollector.net/absolut-blank/ ABSOLUT BLANK is "a global creative movement, in which ABSOLUT appears as a catalyst for cutting-edge creativity."
Sounds like something Vanda£og's street art advertising and marketing agency dreamt up. I wonder if he's on commission for this. Expect the ads to be heavily featured in the next issue of VNA. It fits perfectly with the demographic they're both aiming for...middle class trendy hipster pricks fresh out of the suburbs.
nah if it was by Brandalflog it'd feature all the usual gapin whores like wEine and Burnin Shandy.
So I'll give a tiny crumb of credit to Absolut for getting in some illustrators and artists (rather than the usual role call of street artists for hire) who can actuially create their own creative content and most can actually paint aand draw to a good standard.
Replace the "blank" with Amy. run a pic through photoshop or illustrator, stick it where the label should go, also add an ironic "always drink in moderation" warning.
Leave it at the shrine outside her house, then flog copies on my website. Easy money and anti-corporate as well. Simples.
"Brandalflog" - oooh, you cheeky fella! Made me chuckle!
Permit me to translate that advertising speak for you - It shouldn't read "ABSOLUT appears as a catalyst for cutting edge creativity" but "VODKA MAKES YOU WRITE YOUR NAME ON SHIT THAT AIN'T YOURS"

I'd do a tribute to Amy Winehouse.
