Real Hackney Dave: How chaos breeds creativity and the gift or respawning.
Wow, I loved this chat. It was like sitting down with a mate from school. A self-proclaimed "useless kid" who sat under the table and drew. Dave died at 14. Properly died. Left for dead by the ambulance drivers until his Mum suggested they try and "get him going again". And boy did he get going. A trailblazer in advertising. Each agency he started was created on the back of a crisis. A serial success, he gave it all up and became an artist. He is now accidentally successful there too. Only, it isn't an accident. Dave is a brilliantly original thinker. He is brave. He trusts his gut-instinct. He goes all-in. This is a brilliant conversation that shines a light on a real talent. His art is bold, collectable and often pink. All the things I love.
