lookey look what we got here

so me and conrad have been taking some tips from this guy for when we are living in a highly undesirable part of London in a few months

Is this where God lives?

Less is definitely not more.

Most ridiculous thing ive seen in a while... who in their right mind would see this and go.."you know what, thats exactly what i'm looking for.. ill have two please." The only thing slightly worse than the pink hotpants, is that a photographer got up one morning knowing that he/she had this to do.

the bananas didn't work

We'd love to show you some work, its seems we are going through a dry spell. The bananas didn't work too well and heard if you eat to many of them it can cause a potassium build up and our friend Lois says you can die... So we have resorted to wearing 'thinking hats'. A safer option it seems...

At the minute we seem to be putting a lot of time in to produce nothing... anyone else feel you can work for days and days and  produce nothing?

Thought i was having a bad day..

You are what you eat

they say bananas are good for the brain so we have decided it can only benefit our creative ideas... for backup we also drinking shit loads of "Lucozade Alert. Mental Edge"...

we have already eaten 5 bananas each and its not even 1pm...

anyone know of any other things to eat or drink to stimulate the mind apart from vodka and redbull?

Horlicks + podcast = sleep

Horlicks should have their own podcasts.. when u buy a horlicks you can download horlicks  soporific music.  Have a mug, listen to the music... wake up the next morning.

Stupid twat behind me won't shut up.

The Odeon should have the option of putting your own headphones on at the cinema... i know its a bit 'have that on an plane' and the loss of the cinema experience..but id rather have the option of doing it than having to suffer through the film....     

Shit at remembering things.

We like the idea of peoples tea or coffee preferences on a mug.. making the tea at a placement would be much easier ... Tetley could promote this by sending them to agencies.. 

Alex's ideal woman

Had to post this...possibly the ugliest woman ever drawn.  Alex's is a good drawer but not letting him get away with this.  He was drawing out an idea and i looked over and saw this..

My cat's idea

Macbook Air Spoof

match.com

Little idea for match.com 

WeightWatchers

little idea for WeightWatchers. Air bubbles in trainers bursting

LA Fitness

ambient idea, could also perhaps be used as a press ad for LA fitness

Manchester Book Crits

This week Alex and i went to Love, TBWA Manchester, ChethamBell JWT to show our book.

We saw Simon at Love, Terry, Matt and Tom at TBWA and Paul and Don at JWT.  Got some good comments, got some very good comments, got some contrasting comments, and got some throw that away comments.  

Above is an old book from love which Simon kindly gave us... collection of work they had done over the last three years.

Cheers Don for the song..

Portland Reject

Before Christmas Weiden & Kennedy Portland was doing this thing called Seeking.. i filled out the ambiguous online form and then got sent an email to show them what i could do in 20 pdf pages.. Well i didn't get on, but in the post the other day i received this mix tape from them and the sticker first class all the way from Portland... thought that was pretty cool... Gonna Fail harder next time.

Me from now on..

Been getting stressed recently ladies and gentlemen.. maybe these words will help me.

On a par or worse than..so good the cows want it back?

Nearly the end..

BJI held the 5th Workshop, Richard Pearson and Lisa Nichols were the creatives on hand to judge all the work.. We all liked the brief and as a result had alot to show.. Richard and lisa seemed impressed with everyones grasp of the brief and the amount of work produced..

Another insightful night..i know i say it every week..but they all are.. 

San Miguel..crisps.. getting very used to wednesday nights now..  

Brief: Idea to Launch ATS car services: key thought garage you can trust.

My strategy: Brutally Honest Mechanics.  

You will probably need LSD to take that idea further.

The fourth workshop was held at Pravda Manchester.  Art Director Steve and Copywriter Cat all had a look at our efforts..Creative Director Jim critiqued all the work and gave it to us straight.  Another insightful evening, thanks to Jim and the creative team for their advice and especially Jim for his time at the end of the session.  

Brief: To Promote Neilson Holidays.

Quote of the night (title)   

Colgate toothpaste dispensers

Colgate should have refillable toothpaste dispensers, similar to hand wash dispensers, in airport toilets, or onboard airplane toilets, so that travelers can stay fresh throughout their journey.

cock sucker

found this on youtube the other day, it's a short film showing the complex ins and outs of an ad agency with lots of swearing. made me laugh...

Nivea for Men mini ad 2

Nivea for Men

so here's the latest in the Nivea for Men campaign.

got a few treats in store the next day or so, so do keep posted...

D&AD Third Workshop..JWT Cheetham Bell Ladies and Gentlemen.

JWT Cheetham Bell held the third D&AD workshop.. the brief was to educate foreigners that posting illegal tobacco will be seized by HM Revenue & Customs. Everybody came up with some great ideas for what was a tricky brief. Andrew, James and Paul were the creatives that critiqued the work. I think I can speak for everyone by saying how much we appreciated their time and willingness to help and give advice. Andrew and John were on the workshop last year, shows what alot of hard work and talent can do. Paul gave some great advice "take the idea as far as possible" and was really enthusiastic about the work.

Cheers Guys was a Fun night... Peroni..good choice.
My idea: Whatever The Address, Tobacco Always Gets Sent To Us....

Nivea For Men

so here's the second in our series of unacceptable behavior.

it was unacceptable that i had to draw that mans behind more than once!

verdict?

Don't break into a tenner.

Just and idea for Natwest to promote their student services.. they should have student cash machines where you can take out a £1 coins. great for the bus and little snacks... no more getting out £10 and wasting the change.

Also , you could put change into your account after a night out... no more wasting money.

Nivea for men

The first of our Nivea for Men campaign, let us know what you think...

No consideration

While i should have been doing work..i stumbled upon this...amazing.

One Too Many

Just a little idea i had.  Reminds you that you'll no doubt be leaving your car parked outside the pub hoping your stereo will still be in it when you pick it up in the morning...                    taxi.

Lidl making my life easy.

Sunny day drawing.

just my cup o tea

i stumbled across this today.

art direction at it's finest. 

don't know who's behind it but hats off. or should it be ears off? brilliant.

It's not about the sizzle, it's about the sausage.

An Agency Called England was the next stop on the workshop journey.. Creative Director Paul Alexander, Creative Team; Dave and Stuart and Account Handler Alex were all on show to have a look at this weeks ideas.  The brief was to create a campaign for Cartridge World that highlighted the benefits of using recyclable ink cartridges.

Quote of the night was Account Handler Alex... (the title)

My idea, Cartridge World: Positive Printing

Thanks to all the guys at England, was a very insightful session and another fun night... San Miguel.. my favourite.

Workshop

Poulters was the agency to host the first week of the D&AD workshops.  The senior creative team gave some great advice and critique.  Was a fun night..beer= good...crisps=good.

The brief: To promote Man Utd Soccer Schools
