Just Another Frantic Monday
Following a tradition started by Cathy of working all day in the UK and hopping on the late flight home, Monday in London was most eventful.
Met with Anthill UK head honcho Steve Hatton to review AC/DC artwork from one of our favorite insomniacs, Eiji of JAM in Tokyo. Seems that no matter what time it is in any time zone, it's never much more than an hour 'till his next email. In this case the design from local licensee Inter Apparel "shook me all night long" even though it was still breakfast time!
Joining soon after was Pyramid Poster's goodwill ambassador and licensing guru, Mordy Beniah with an impressive update on Q4's results and a preview of what's in store for 07 including a great new catalog and several new trade shows to show off Anthill's latest and greatest paper products.
Better yet, Pyramid look to be the next licensee to acquire the right to market the timeless artwork of Alphonse Mucha. Well done and thanks.
No sooner was Mordy en route then it was time to make a visit to one of Britain's great icons and proudly our client, Bryan Ferry at his studio in West London. We were surrounded by a pair of Steve's (our Mr H and Bryan's manager Steven Howard) and longtime designer of all things Roxy and Ferry, Bogdan Zarkowski. Got a preview of his soon to be released solo album Dylanesque which will form the nucleus of his upcoming sold out tour of Europe set to run through March and April with more dates likely thereafter.
Needless to say, he looks and sounds great and helped us establish what should be one great collection of Rockware. (http://www.bryanferry.com)
So with Nelly Furatdo starting in just a few weeks, Bryan's tour soon after, poor Steve can't catch a breather as he also is prepping for Deep Purple's major European/UK tour of arenas which sets out in late March.
Officially over there we're called Anthill Overseas Ltd but really it's Steve Hatton Oversees Anthill. Nice one SH.
