Inspired by the original “desert sessions” initiated by Josh Holmes, Olivier Joliat & Luc Montini stashed 26 musicians & photographer and a graphic designer in a studio for four days. The idea behind The Weekend Session was to write, record, mix and design an album in four days. Hosted at One Drop Studios, 26 musicians that barely knew each other captured 23 songs now featured on an exlusive vinyl edition (or as an iTunes download of course) designed by yours truly..

For those living in Switzerland “Coop Zeitung” doesn’t have to be explained. Switzerland biggest newspaper is brought to the people by it’s publisher Coop, which is Switzerland’s largest retail company. Once a year Coop Zeitung issues a newspaper insert about multimedia and entertainment. With a circulation of almost 2 million copies it was a challenge for FLYART’s Pascal Brun to illustrate and layout this insert about cloud computing. Have a look and get ready to drift into the cloud…

Some of us are adrenalin junkies… others go for the sugar rush! Hollandet’s Caramel Stroopwafels are exactly what you need then! The lucious caramel squeezed between the traditional quality wafers will just  melt in your mouth an make you scream for more… and this original delightful dutch pastry just got a complete packaging redesign in order to look as good as they taste! From the new cardboard boxes with 8 pieces to the shiny new single package when you’re on the road… well.. they made me an addict!

Almost two years ago Zimmerli of Switzerland had an enourmous succes creating a limited edition lingerie set named after its founder Pauline Zimmerli. Back then I had the pleasure of designing a luxurious packaging as well a creating a “Pauline” world for the promotional needs like shop windows, exhibition stands and more… Constant demand and the success of this series has led Zimmerli to create a new series in honour of its founder simply called “Hommage à Pauline N°2″ and once again I had the pleasure of designing the new packaging. Look for it in stores close to you when delivered this coming fall!

Anyone that has been to a Metallica concert in recent years knows about it. Robert Trujillo starting to spin around in place a few times, creating a windmill effect while playing on… it’s Robert Trujillo’s signature move. So infamous it even got motion captured to appear in the game Guitar Hero: Metallica. Now for Pacsal Brun this move was screaming for more! So in the heart of Venice, Ca. Pascal Brun and Matt Willi of Team Switzerland created this black & white still “The Spin” with Mr. Trujillo. Enjoy the result!

It was was of the most talked about rock event in 2010. The controversial & unique band that revolutionized music in the 80′s came back on track after twelfe years of absence. Having marked a whole generation with songs like Midlife Crisis,  Digging The Grave and the incredible The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies (not to mention their version of Easy Like a Sunday Morning) this comeback made them instant headliners for festivals around the world. Having created FnM drummer Mike Bordin’s drum stick logo back in 2002 it was great working again with him and doing a photo shoot for the hole band in the cellar of the legendary (FnM home) venue The Warfield in San Francisco to create a Second Coming visual.

It’s nothing new… the world as we know it will end! Just as you thought Roland Emmerich (“2012″,”Indenpendance Day”) is epic you now have to re-think “epic”! Author Gregor Spoerri – inspired by a mystical archeological find that I have been prohibited to talk about – starts where Mr. Emmerich ends. More cynical and profound a new provoking image is casted upon our view of the planet… In order to design the book cover of this disturbing and mysterious vision of our future  Flyart’s Pascal Brun has been granted the privilege of reading act one & two of his upcoming apocaliptic book “The Lost God” .. I can’t wait to read it all when it’s published in 2012.

Subtle talks, understanding and gallantry  don’t usually define social intercourse for the Mob. Also it might be a rare thing to meet Al Capone enjoying a shadow puppetry… Local rock heroes Carma Star (formerly know as Coma Star) managed to bring savoire faire, asian puppetry art and violence together for the ruff folks! Eloquence for the Mob is Carma Star’s third album and once more Pascal Brun and Matthias Willi – assisted by illustrator Marcel Szerdahelyi who designed and craftet the shadow puppets – created the artwork – team switzerland style – for this amazing album… check it out!

If you we’re hiking somewhere between St. Tropez and Cannes in the nature reserve “l’Ésterel” this summer, you might have spottet four guys carrying loads of clothing and technical equipment around: Pascal Brun with Matthias Willi escorting Fashion Designer Gilles Engesser and Model Demian Bichsel through the rough rocks of the South of France for the shoot of tcaat | three cheers and a tiger autumn-winter 2010/2011 collection! At the same time three cheers and a tiger decided to make a facelift of its brand.. and becomes tcaat. Satisfying a high end street fashion company this amazing with the design of the new logo and corporate identity was a challenge! Make sure to check this incredible label out!

Once again the Mohave desert did its magic on Team Switzerland. This time Pascal Brun and Matthias Willi’s mission was a shoot with Mr. Chris Goss. The singer and master mind of Masters of Reality produced Smith & Pyle’s debut album “It’s ok to be happy” (also designed by Team Switzerland) and is well known for his production work for bands like Kyuss, Queens of the Stonge Age, Unkle, The Mark Lanegan Band or Melissa auf der Maur. Often credited as the Godfather of desert rock it was a great experience doing an extended shoot around Joshua Tree with an all crazy master mind of the desert rock scene!
