It features a whirlwind going about its whirly business, demonstrating the elements required to make a great glass of Guinness.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a fan of alcohol advertising. In fact, I&#8217;m an opponent of the entire discipline of advertising alcohol. I believe it&#8217;s one of the key causes of alcoholism. (Apart from the dumbfuckery of the alcoholics themselves, of course.)<\/p>\n<p>But in this case, I&#8217;ll probably have to make an exception. It&#8217;s a brilliant ad, brilliantly made. And if I were still an advertising whore, I&#8217;d wish I&#8217;d written it.<\/p>\n<p>This is the blank version of a voucher I&#8217;m sending to Anton to make use of my services. It&#8217;s part of a self-marketing drive to leverage my presence on Kaleidoscope.<\/p>\n<p><i>The components of this painting were all made live in studio this afternoon on my Rectron-sponsored ASUS R1E tablet pc, running ArtRage 2.5.
