AJ Fosik must have some dark places in his mind (and a way with wood) to come up with these imaginary creatures. There will be monsters landing in San Francisco at the White Walls Gallery when his series “There’s Aliens in Our Midst” arrives.
Every one of his creations is made entirely of wood, nails and vibrant paint. I love that his creatures also have multiple eyes too. This is some scary stuff!
Implications - One surefire way of drawing consumer attention is featuring advertising that contains a strong element of shock or horror. By luring viewers in with the promise of something different, the brand shows a willingness to market outside of the box, establishing itself as an innovator in the minds of consumers.
