Le studio de design Feltmark a conçu une lampe étonnante : la Wald lamp. Il s’agit d’un lumière qu’on peut assembler soi-même et qu’on branche sur une prise de courant. Elle se tient droite contre le mur, comme en lévitation, et peut se transporter partout. Ce luminaire existe bien évidemment en différentes tailles.

Why are you an Illustrator?
I primarily consider myself a story teller. The best way to tell stories is the audio-visual medium but since its a very costly and one of the most toilsome job, I prefer illustrating my ideas. Here I am an one man team with control in everything from lighting to body language and that is without any barrier. Thus, I illustrate.
Did you attend school for fine art or design?
Never. I am a self taught artist. I think art cannot be taught just like the 1st ever painters i. e. the cavemen. They did not learnt painting from anyone.
You have a distinct style of illustration. How long did it take you to develop your style?
I am drawing right from my childhood. I was looking for a signature style for myself. I am maintaining this style of my own for 4/5 years. I didn’t have to struggle to find it. Its just an extension of my personality.
Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
Satyajit Ray is one whom I always worship. Then come Herge, Osamu Tezuka, Chraig Thompson, Uderzo, Marjane Satrapi.
Who was the most influential personality on your career in Illustrations?
All of them above mentioned. Apart from them Bob De Moore and other Ligne Claire and Marcinell School of artists.
What made you decide to become a freelance illustrator? When did you start freelancing? Do you illustrate for advertising?
Seeing the works of Mario Miranda, I decided to be an illustrator. I started freelancing as a cartoonist in The Times of India 6 years back while I was in college.
I work for all visual mediums like comics, graphic novel, illustrations, films and of course advertising.
Are many advertising agencies getting illustrations made these days? Do you work more with agencies or publishers?
Advertising agencies are using more photographs than illustrations these days. Even if they do, they are using low quality illustrations. These should be changed. If you use good illustrations instead of photographs then you are doing it differently. Then eyeballs too will follow automatically.
I work with publishers mostly. Personally I enjoy it most since there is endless scope of creativity as an illustrator in publishing industry than advertising, I feel .
Was there any time when you wanted to quit Illustrations?
Never. I am passionate about this medium. There is a lot to do with Indian illustrations to take it to the next level. There is a long way to go. I want to make films in future, but then too, no question of quitting illustrations.
Have you considered turning your illustrations into toys?
Never thought of it. Toys/figurines are totally different medium.
Any other Indian Illustrators who you admire?
Satyajit Ray, Mario Miranda, Ajit Ninan, R. K. Laxman. Among Bengali illustrators I am big fan of Debashis Deb, Bimal Das, Samir Sarkar and Anup Ray.
Do you have any favorite fellow illustrators or resources relating to your fields?
Among my contemporaries my favourites are Ben Heine and in India, Mukesh Singh. Though not main stream illustrator, I like works of Tim Burton.
You have such a wide experience as a top working professional. What advice do you have for aspiring creative professionals? Would you advise them to take on Illustration as a career option? Is it paying well enough?
I am none to give advice. But if I have to do, I would ask them to be original, don’t copy. And if you work hard and deliver good things, money wont be a barrier to take it as a career option.
Whats your dream project?
There are many. I am currently working on one of them. Its a graphic novel for young adults.
Mac or PC?
Mac of course! I am gonna get one this year. 
Who would you like to take out for dinner?
A nice intelligent girl.
What’s on your iPod?
Anusheh Anadil, Ornob, Mohiner Ghoraguli, Chandrabindoo, Indian Ocean.

“Is That All There Is?”
You’d be hard-pressed to find a harder-working song for a TV show than the angsty Peggy Lee ballad that struts into the opening moments of the final seven episodes of “Mad Men.” Yes, the tale of a cosmically unimpressed women is a tounge-in-cheek nod to the end of the show’s run. Yes, the singer is resigned, disillusioned, sighing an epic sigh. And, yes, the lyric nods to a central theme, if not core tenet, of the show — people don’t really change, even when the decade does.
The second half of the final season of “Mad Men” takes us to April 1970, though you’d only be able to tell that if you bothered to hunt down the Nixon TV address announcing a U.S. invasion of Cambodia or know a scary lot about L’eggs. The action more suggests the passing of time, with touches like new, full mustaches, than broadcasts it. Bert Cooper’s death is nearly a year in the rear-view, as is the sale of 51% of Sterling Cooper & Partners to McCann-Erickson. That relationship apparently is turning out touchier than was promised.
Special K has been anything but special for Kellogg Co. of late. The slumping cereal brand has been a major factor contributing to the company’s larger sales woes, which include a sagging snacks business.
In search of a comeback Special K on Monday will launch a new campaign by longtime agency Leo Burnett that marks a significant change in direction. Rather than selling the cereal as a diet food, ads will tout what the brand sees are positive nutrition benefits, including whole grain, fiber, folic acid and Vitamin D.
The new attitude is summarized in the tagline “Eat special. Feel special.” The first TV ad (above) shows women leaping in slow-motion. A print ad refers to the cereal as “nutritionally awesome.”

To promote season 3 of Bates Motel, 13ème RUE and entertainment agency Darewin created this microsite that puts you in the skin of Norman Bates, along with a first glimpse at the new season’s premiere. The interactive experience uses your webcam and microphone and turns you into a freaky peeper who spies on his hotel guests. Derriere Le Mur means “behind the wall,” so you pretty much know what you’re getting in to.
Erwin Penland launched this new ad for L.L. Bean’s spring collection. It shows people gettin’ out and about after the snow has melted, in their L.L. Bean apparel and footwear, of course.
These ads coincided with March Madness Sweet SIxteen and have Zero to do with buying a house except for the end call to action. Which makes them amazing.
Detlef Schrempf read a March Madness basketball tweet and added a random word (in this case “Appliance,”) for Century 21. I mean really, do you need to know more to be sold on this concept?
Detlef Schrempf is reading basketball themed tweets during March Madness for Century 21 and adding random words. Even though pom-pom is two words, he explains that he is Detlef and he makes the rules.
Detlef Schrempf is reading basketball tweets and adding random words to them. In this case the word “Linguist.” Because no one ever says “how dog sandwich.” This may be the best campaign for a real estate company I’ve ever seen.

Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the author of a now-discredited article story in Rolling Stone magazine about a rape at a University of Virginia fraternity, issued an apology.
