On leaving Art school Graham Fink applied for a job at Collett, Dickenson, Pearce, London’s top creative hot shop. He was told that unfortunately they didn’t take students but were looking for someone older and more experienced.
He returned the following day dressed up as an old man.
They hired him.

He went on to win countless awards including 4 BAFTAS, D&AD pencils and Cannes Gold Lions. His groundbreaking work includes the famous British Airways ‘Face’ commercial.

In 1995 Graham started directing commercials and music videos at the Paul Weiland film company. In 1996 he became the youngest ever president of D&AD and a few years later directed a short film (‘Z’) for the Millennium. Commissioned by David Puttnam. (It was shortlisted at BAFTA.)

In 2001 he created thefinktank, a conceptual production company and ideas forum. Thefinktank is home to Graham’s commercials directing career and also to his video, photography and illustration work.

In his ‘spare time’ he runs what some have called Britain’s most radical art school with monthly meetings held in different venues. theartschool recently went online, offering the chance for people all over the world to visit the school, work on its briefs and get feedback.
