David Smith
Aka: World Famous Artist
Dave is currently at Weiden and Kennedy but you can see how this man's brain works at his blog http://theideathatnevergotsold.blogspot.com/ or check out his website: www.iamcuriousdave.com
Mark Chalmers
Apparently he was conceived backstage at a Rolling Stones gig. Years after that he studied architecture, but that wasn’t rock and roll enough and is now in advertising and CD at strawberryfrog.
Steve Hanson
Artist, great creative, book guy, brand developer. Steve has done everything except for putting it on the net. “I'm in Glasgow right now and I don't have a web site, but people can send me a postcard at 76 Albert Road, Glasgow, G42 8DW and I promise to reply.”
Andrew Watson
Art Director extraordinaire. If the paper is sprinkled with a bit of Watson magic you are guaranteed it will look good. Also the best guy to tell a secret to after 11pm on a night out. I promise he won’t repeat it to anyone, including himself.
Bianca Manzana de Agustin
Half Swedish, half Spanish with the cool bits from both. Bianca is studying at Holland’s famous Gerrit Rietveld Academie. She is currently working on some really cool projects including trying to find me a Swedish girlfriend. Or Spanish.
Roald Van Wyk
The funniest guy on the planet. Hands down. As he wakes up he reads at least 20 newspapers and knows everything. Ask him. Roald is in New York in advertising at JWT but has previously lived in Cape Town, Singapore, Amsterdam, Oslo, Tokyo and probably another 4 or 5 places.
About Me
- Jason Schragger
- When was the last time you had a great conversation? A conversation that was out of the blue, intriguing and interesting. A conversation where you found out so much more about your friends and so much about yourself. The Book of Conversations came to life because we simply aren’t as good at talking as we used to be. Too often we just trade information. What we did, what we bought, where we went, what we did at work. The book is a collection of questions. Each question a conversation starter. It’s the intrigue of exploring someone and discovering what lies beneath. Some questions are deep, some trivial and some you will never forget. However, just words were not enough. Images provoke people in ways that words sometimes can’t. 120 artists, graphic designers, creative directors, art directors, photographers, illustrators and animators were approached and were each given a question. Their task was to provoke this question with an image. The image could make the reader cry, shout, laugh or think. But most importantly, it should get them to talk. Let’s bring back the art of conversation to a world that needs it more than ever. Let the discussion begin.
