Carl Kleiner's Christmas

We're only about 6 weeks away from Christmas and I'm yet to buy one single present and more importantly, get into the festive spirit (I've have had a couple of mince pies mind you). I've got some pretty decent ideas for presents but like a lot of people I'm waiting that end of month payday.

Carl Kleiner is helping me feel pretty good about Christmas, with this series of images recently produced for Arlanda Airport's tax-free shopping campaign. The photographer and all round creative-don seems to do no wrong. He's right up there on my favorite modern artist list, with his humor, eye for detail and excellent use of colour which all never fail to brighten my mood. 

Have you started thinking about Christmas yet, ahead of the game with presents or being a last minute Scrooge?

  4. Neat! I like Christmassy things, and even more when they're aesthetically pleasing. I love the first one all the way.

  6. i've nearly finished my shoping. (i know you hate me right?!) I LOVE Christmas, but i do feel like people worry about it too much. I buy things that i think people will like, i don't spend a lot of money at all and me and hubs usually have a quiet day together, maybe seeing family, maybe not, but i love it either way.

    These made me laugh, especially the photograph with the boots on - they're nearly as big as him! and he's reaching for those snazzy red glasses.. work it santa! work it!

    I've bought a few bits and bobs, I still need to get a fair bit though! I may go today but the weather is really making me think otherwise

  15. Can't believe it's only a few weeks till Christmas! The year really flew by quickly... like you I haven't been feeling the Christmas spirit. Hopefully as the date approaches things will seem more festive.

  16. ha! those are cute. yah...i don't know, i think i associate christmas with way too much traveling and being exhausted. and we're going to the states so it will be super busy. maybe i'm being a scrooge!

  18. Really neat and cute. I try to ignore Christmas as long as possible... until it brutally creeps up at me, around the 22nd of December.
