He is really rather fabulous, and he's done some nifty branding work, like those red soldiers you see on Hamley's toyshop bags. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/lordshoreditch-a4c7c5bce9.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nA week or so ago, my friend \u003Ca href=\"http://www.scribblehound.com\">David O'Connell\u003C/a> sent me a link to the work of \u003Cb>Scott Campbell\u003C/b>, or \u003Ca href=\"http://scott-c.blogspot.com\">Scott C\u003C/a> and I thought it was brilliant. So I went along with Dave to a show of his collaborative work with \u003Ca href=\"http://foodoneart.blogspot.com\">Jim Mahfood\u003C/a> at \u003Ca href=\"http://www.londonmiles.com\">London Miles Gallery\u003C/a> in Notting Hill. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/supbroship1-c962829e26.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/supbroship2-530a5865ce.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nScott turned out to be really nice, with a great way of talking that Dave said sounded like a 'Shakespearean surfer', which sums it up well. Here's Dave (\u003Ca href=\"http://tozocomic.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">tozocomic\u003C/a>), Scott signing his new book, and another illustrator friend of John Aggs that I met in Oxford a couple months ago, \u003Ca href=\"http://simonreid.wordpress.com\">Simon Reid\u003C/a>. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/supbroship4-ca101c466f.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/supbroship3-493a272650.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nHere's Jim Mahfood, and this corset belongs to the lovely textile artist \u003Ca href=\"http://www.rockpoolcandy.com\">Inga Hamilton (Rockpool Candy)\u003C/a>, who was with someone whose name I forget but has some nice work on his \u003Ca href=\"http://www.mytarpit.com\">My Tar Pit\u003C/a> website.\\r\n\\r\nI can't wait to read Scott's latest book, \u003Ci>Double Fine Action Comics\u003C/i>, published by \u003Ca href=\"http://www.totallynerdcore.com\">Nerd Core\u003C/a>, a small LA-based comics publisher that started out by publishing pin-up calenders of nerdy girls. I met its Head Nerd, Jon Gibson, who seems very nice as nerds go.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ci>Edit:\u003C/i> Oo, Dave just did a drawing from the evening \u003Ca href=\"http://tozocomic.livejournal.com/66012.html\">here\u003C/a>.","2009-06-12T08:47:00.000Z","lord-shoreditch-the-supreme-broship",[],"lord shoreditch & the supreme broship",1776628732756]
