AT&T understands that a recession is in progress and things must be done. The way to sell items is to ADVERTISE. And they seem to be doing that quite well. They've had ads out internationally, for a while now, which feature hands that are beautifully painted. The hands in the ads are painted to represent different countries where AT&T phones can roam. While I knew about the ads for a while, I just recently learned more about the artist who created them.

The painter's name is Guido Daniele, a genius from Italy. He majored in sculpting at Brera School of Arts and then went abroad to India for some life experience. In 1972, he became a hyper-realistic illustrator. It only made his work less restrained and more creative. Since then, he has gone on to create ads for many different companies, private parties, and events. The man can paint anything and make it look like a Steven Meisel photo.

The ads were shot by Andric for BBDO Atlanta. Check out more below.
