Set up thefinktank, a conceptual production company with Deirdre Allen.
We made commercials, music videos and short films.
Also founded theartschool. A very different type of art school, aimed at helping students get into the business of advertising, art and design. Meetings were held on a monthly basis in various secret locations. The last one we did was held at Parliament, in the House of Commons.
Over 150 students attended.

Art Director
Collett Dickenson Pearce
1981 - 1986 (5 years)
Got a job at CDP, which was then the best ad agency in the world. They didn't hire juniors, so I went back the next day dressed up as an old man. They hired me!
A great 6 years here. I won my first D&AD pencil, for a topical ad for Hamlet Cigars with Ian Botham cheekily smoking a Hamlet cigar the same day he was banned from Test Cricket for smoking dope.
