Old Speckled Hen: Cheers!

[Mary Jane Ansell]

Dear Marvin

I just wanted to say what a great job you've done on the Old Speckled Hen campaign - I spotted one of them in a magazine last week and was so pleased to see how it had turned out especially as (funnily enough) they had contacted me about it too way back when... their timescales seemed too scary to me so pleased to hear you mentioned they had given you plenty of time - double kudos to you for pulling it all off so impressively!

All the best
Mary Jane

Thanks for your kind words. It's always encouraging to hear positive responses. Most importantly the client is happy. ;-)

Once they decided I was 'the one' they did their best to accommodate my needs, within reason. Unfortunately, I have not, as of yet, seen any proofs or reprints. I understand some of the ads are blown up to 9 feet high in the Underground. That would be a trip!

[Mary Jane Ansell]

That's excellent - If I spot them in the Underground with my camera handy Marvin I'll post them up!

Talking of posters in the Tube - I was very excited recently to see Maryam Foroozanfar's exquisite BP entry splashed all over the underground too the other day... wonderful stuff.

I'd love to see those pictures. Thanks!

Marvin,

What a hoot! This project seems custom fit for you with your excellent and masterful ability with portraits, your knowledge of the history of the art and engineering of portraiture and your curious and fun loving nature.

Congratulations, buddy. (I hope you don't mind my low country familiarity).

Thanks John,

Buddy is good. You can call me anything you like, but don't call me late for dinner!
