The Trade Show

Finally a moment to have a little catch up on the blog. We've been quite busy with D&AD workshops and working on our book, we might try and put some stuff up about both of these soon.

For now, it's time to show off the KesselsKramer Tradeshow; celebrating the agencies work. It's being held on our UCA campus and it's been nice to see the faces of the other students, most of which are fairly snobby towards advertising. They almost seem ashamed to like the work, so hopefully we'll be given a bit more respect on campus.

Here's some photos of the show:

Drive-By On Day Four

First of all, sorry that we haven't been able to post for a few days, things have been very hectic.

Day four started in a frenzied fashion, way before classes had even started, the day produced its first kill. Whilst walking along the road, an assassin realised that a car was slowly following him and a friend. At that moment the car rushed past with a jet of water shooting from its window, luckily missing the assassin. Sadly for him, the car then pulled up and his hunter chased him along an ally to make sure the job was done. It's been a feature of the last few days that cars have been used when hunting targets, one assassin even using his motorbike and referred to himself as "The Black Knight."

A failed assassination attempt by two pairs of assassins. It ended with one pair trapped in their car until the other car left.

Was a good laugh for The Bureau who watched it all unfold.

That same day a member of The Bureau was involved in their own soaking. After driving a housemate/ assassin around for a while in search of their target, it was decided to try their house again. Unknown to the assassin, was the fact that not only was their target home, but all the other members of the eight person household, whom proceeded to soak both assassin and Bureau member. The assassin was very cheesed off, yet another attempt foiled by these housemates whilst the target peeks through the window with a grin on his face. Although it must be said, after the soaking of The Bureau member, there will be consequences and The Bureau will soon be out and about with super soakers and water balloons to avenge the soaking.....

You have been warned.

Our Mate Jeff

Whilst away at Bestival I went to see a artist by the name of Jeffrey Lewis (Pictures of Bestival and a post are to come, once photos are developed.) Not only was he a very cheerful guy, despite the rain. After his gig, he was then nice enough to step the other side of the barriers and stand in a huge wallow of muddy water and have a chat with us (Even if he was flogging his comics as well.)

So, I bought one of his comics, which is actually rather neat, some nice stories and for only three of our great British pounds. The main reason I'm writing this post is out of respect, for a man whom still is down to earth enough to speak to everyone and write comics that have a real heart and soul to them.

Not to mention, his illustration is damn hot. Check him out.
