Priceless Ads

All the art that appears on this site is wrought, from figments of imagination and fragments of media, by the artist nicknamed Pepe Leduc and the writer pen-named Cogito E. Sum,* emeritus creators of the greatest art form of yore, according to the greatest media visionary and advertising critic of his century, who predicted what’s happening now in this one.

“Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century.”

―Marshall McLuhan

Ads they created in the last millennium, when Madison Avenue was a warren of old beatniks in pressed Levis and young hippies in Brooks Brothers suits,  have become collectors items, possibly due to the quality of the goods.

“Far more thought and care go into the composition of any prominent ad in a newspaper or magazine than go into the writing of their features and editorials.”

―Marshall McLuhan

Ads that turn on not only the senses but also the sensibilities, be it in a public media or private collections, the medium is the massage. Here and now, in the 21st century, the massage is priceless in Priceless Ads.

“The Medium is the Massage.”

―Marshall McLuhan
