IDEA/WRITING
The art of writing lies not in saying things in interesting ways—that is sophistry. It lies in saying interesting things. Rooting out insights, exploring ids and idioms and super-egos, and also knowing when the moment is right to say something monumentally stupid but also very funny.
“If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.”
Kingsley Amis
GREETINGS FROM THE GARDEN
I'm an advertising copywriter with well over a decade in the industry. Born and educated in the UK, domesticated in the US and working in New York, Chicago, London and now my home of St. Louis.
THESE PROJECTS aren't not not advertising
I've spent a career pushing and prodding and driving creative work forward. A globe-trotting homebody, it's the gaps between words that I value most. I write in declarations and think in questions, and I'm also a pretty good advertising creative, if I do say so myself. Which I do, here.
