*Thanks for the photo Em.
Last week we hopped over to New Blood 2009, a year!? seriously... a whole year since we were exhibiting, I can't believe it.
There was plenty of familiar faces, our attempts to check out the work was thwarted by smiling faces of old friends, fun and welcome conversations, Gyles - our old lecturer & the Uni of Lincoln lot, who received a variety of nominations, pencils and a best in show - always a pleasure. Danny & Paul - who after being hired at the Inferno group were beaming, their enthusiasm is second to none, Little Emily :) over at theideabakery who was exhibiting & ended up coming away with 2 student pencils - that's no easy task. Rob Kitchen & Chris Waite, really nice guys, who run the show over at Falmouth, we've run into them on a couple of occasions... nevertheless we still got a good look around.
The thing with New Blood is that the ad work always seems overshadowed by the rest of the categories, don't get me wrong, we saw some really nice work in a few books - not to mention some of the work on display, but with only 5 truly specific Creative Ad courses - that I noticed (being: Bucks, Falmouth, Gloucester, Lincoln & Solent) amongst the 50+ other stands - it does give you an idea of scale.
As always, due to neglect of my camera - my battery was flat and little to no photographs were taken. This is a mid-year resolution of mine. Sort it out!
