Like cats? Hate war? Then you’ll love this quirky new work from john st. for War Child Gifts, an organization that allows people to purchase gifts for children of war-torn families. It’s not the most direct sell approach we’ve seen but it is one of the oddest. And we like odd. Because odd is different. Odd is good. And saying the word odd over and over and over again makes a paragraph long enough to wrap around the image that accompanies this story because, well, there isn’t much else to say about this campiagn other than, well, it’s odd. And we like odd. And…OK…we’ll stop now.
