A Most Unusual Advertising for a Most Unusual Gin [CCC's Street Art Contest #4]

in StreetArt4 years ago

Good night, Street Art Lovers!

This is a mix between Street Art and Advertising which I encountered at the intersection between Valencia Street and 18th Street, in the heart of San Francisco. Gin is not my kind of drink but I loved this giant billboard so much that I had to stop and grab a couple of photos.

This is my entry for the CCC's Street Art Contest #4, hosted by @digi-me.

I don't know how delicious and peculiar a gin can be... to me it all tastes pretty much the same, as if I'm drinking Ethyl Alcohol. Thanks for the suggestion but I prefer a good cup of red wine, really. 🤣

Here's is another shot, so you can see how this billboard fit the building. I think the placement was great, it was visible from a great distance.

As you can see below, in the image I grabbed from Google, meanwhile this advertising has been taken down... and nothing appeared to replaced it. I wonder why? It looked way cooler before. 🤔

This is one of the reasons I love to shoot Street Art. One day is there, the next day it could be gone. That's just how it is with this ephemeral form of art. 😉

Could be that the outfit that sells the gin stopped paying the fee for advertising space charged by Cherin. Nice one.

Yeah, that must be it. Thanks for the visit and comment! 😊

Although I'm not into alcohol of any kind at all, simply because it doesn't taste that good or appealing to me, still there are a few alcoholic drinks I actually like. And believe it or not Hendrick's gin is one of them.
I like it and drink it only in the combo with tonic. But that's not all!
My favorite recipe for gin-tonic with Hendrick's gin has also few slices of cucumber, a few grains of peppercorns, and a few ice cubes. For that combo I can sign their slogan, "Undeniably peculiar, utterly delicious!" 😊

That sounds like a weird alcoholic salad! 🤭

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!

hahaha - Well, it's not. It's actually very refreshing drink, especially during hot summer months.

I did like it a lot - maybe they will be replacing it by something else in the near future 😀

That would be good. It's a wasted opportunity right now. 🙃

Indeed, it's a most unusual gin! 😆 I Googled Hendrick's Gin, and I can certainly confirm that it exist, and what a wonderful advertising style they have! I like this Victorian-style typeface and iconography, and the drawings...

Ahahahha! That's a pretty cool one, as well! These guys must have invested a lot on their marketing personnel! 🤗

That, and quite a lot of creativity being put into their marketing! It's a pretty cool style though, and it really sticks out against the rest. This is the first time I've heard of them, and I might want to try it out someday 🥃

Gin and tonic? If I have to drink alcohol it's my favorite!

I'm more a beer and red wine fan! And liquors, gotta love those homemade fruit liquors! 😋
Thanks for dropping by!

I don't like !BEER but I'd agree with red wine. I had some wonderful homemade fruit liquors while traveling in Europe, but that doesn't seem to be a thing here in the US.
