He has had various jobs in advertising and is know a Director, but it was how he has got there that is the ace bit about his story.
He basically has gone through his career thinking of things to do and then doing them, getting people to give him free stuff along the way.
He has just created this book on Mexican Wrestlers, we have one at work, it is beautifully put together, and basically he got it printed for free!
As something to do he then went into a studio and took loads of photos as him dressed as this old football character. To cut a long story short, this character then ended up in the National Football Museum in Preston.
Anyway, throughout his career he has helped people out, one of which was a typographer freind of his.
He ended up giving her the idea for this poster, just to get her noticed...
After he had finsihed his presentation i went up and asked how to get hold of one of those posters as i rather liked it. He said 'oh, glad you liked it, i'll send you one'. I thought it was a lovely thing to say and that nothing would ever happen.
This morning, wrapped up like a christmas present i get one of the poster, one of 500 none the less.
Thanks Mark Denton, i would say you are a gent and scholar.
I have even asked him if i can star in a film he is making with Ray Winston.
Don't ask, don't get. Remember that!
