london’s second smallest gallery: a new exhibition

A new exhibition has appeared in London's second smallest gallery: the L Gallery, located in our reception desk. It was created by Kate Slavin and is entitled Leaflets.

'
This series of ink drawings is based on my palm plant muse. I am constantly amazed by the beautiful graphic leaflets he delivers in tightly furled tubes. Each one is completely unique and beautifully created, therefore I thought he deserved considerate documentation.' Kate Slavin

Kim

We had a surprise celebration in the agency this evening for ancient and venerable Exec Creative Director Kim Papworth, who just turned fifty. We gave him a lovely chair that is as old as him. Because he likes chairs.

Nice cake

Kim's partner Tony paid tribute to 'the nicest man you'll ever meet in advertising' and we had a 'NICE' birthday cake. (Insert obligatory joke about huge number of candles constituting fire risk here.)

Thinks: ""if only I hadn't teamed up with bloody Davidson all those years ago, just think what I could have achieved".

Does this milestone mean we can now officially stop being thought of as a trendy 'yoof' agency?
