Favourite People.
Some friends and colleagues who know and inspire me.
They’re not all in advertising. Far from it.
After all, ideas come from everywhere.
Sharyn Wortman
Was an art director, but now a proper artist. She works in charcoal, acrylics, oils and clay, everywhere from London to the South Pole.
Eric and Patricia Adelheim
Are Paris’s best and brightest film editors. Together we’ve made about thirty films, as well as a few cakes.
Darren Price
Is the animator the whole word knows, so I’m proud to know him even better. He and I won a BAFTA for a short film in 2004.
Softly Dunstan
Illustrates, designs, art directs and always surprises.
She has an inner magic you can’t really put your finger on. Just like a good piece of communication, really.
Gaetano and Elena of Edizioni Gaele
Publish poetry books and print them by hand. They’ve even done two of mine. A labour of love.
LIFE SHOULDN’T JUST BE A CLICHÉD MIDDLE-CLASS PROSPERITY CURVE. MORE A FIRST-CLASS SWITCHBACK
RAILWAY. REMEMBER THAT AND GO OFF THE RAILS AT LEAST ONCE THIS WEEK. BRAVO.
Mascioni Organi
Have built pipe organs in the Italian Alps for nearly 200 years. I’ve helped them win work in England and the USA. And in turn, they’ve taught me about true value. In life as well as work.
Sarah Daw
Represents the most oblique and enchanting photographers this side of heaven. I wrote her website and I’m honoured.
Marie Lorgeron
Is my French copy magician and as broadminded as I am. I worked with her lots it’s probably time you did.
Patrick Collister
Has been an executive creative director at Ogilvy, BMP and The Zoo at Google, editor of The Drum and director of the Caples awards. He gave me my first break in advertising, when I probably didn’t even deserve one. Thank you for so much.
