Hombre, you should know better, you mention SiScott, NoPatter, Joshua Davis in here and everyone will get on you like inmates on the new cute prep guy. Everyone is just standing by the showers... waiting for the moment...
Now, I appreciate you sharing your experience. I do believe he is one of the best in the world and I'm glad he is humble and nice. That is hard to find...
Flavor of the month? Shit, if i can come up with a style that would make me famous worldwide and that people would find it inspiring, you can call me a one-trick-pony if you wish and I wouldn't mind... Rather be excellent at a specific something than mediocre at everything...
- LOL, you're so right, i should have known this crowd better. thanks for the tip dude!

Adrian is a great guy too. He'll probably be promoting his new book. There are some pretty good stories in there. It's worth a read if you're thinking about starting a studio.
- Cheers dude, ill check it out. His - 'how to be a graphic designer' book is excellent, one of my faves.Hombre_Lobo

"Such a wank thing to say you met Si Scott. I'd rather meet a plumber. "Hes a good designer and very successful in the industry, so bizarrely i thought it would be relevant on these forums. I bet no one in their life would make a post about meeting you, so stop whining.
*awaits for airey to make a thread titled - "i met DaveO today!!* :D
- I love when people here say "so what" to something like this and then post a thread about SnookieCyBrain

I met Wes Anderson the other day. I found that more impressive for some reason...

I emailed him about a project I am working on and he did the identity, didn't reply though... so dunno.

he spoke on QBN about a year ago i think

<sidenote>have seen Si speak and honestly it was the worst speach ever. either he had a bad day or did not want to present. he gave a fuck about the listening crowd who repeatedly asked him to speak up but he would continue to mumble on, so it was basically a waste as nothing could be heard and looking at slides of his work that can be seen on his site does not justify any fee.
</sidenote>however, during this presentation he gave, i noticed (and that might not be only his style or work) that every single piece of his work be it for coke, chevrolet, sony, or amazon or any other item looked pretty much exactly the same. the style is so unique and closed in what you can do with it, it's kind of "done" after seeing it 5 times. careful there. I felt bad for the clients who pretty much got the same as another client just with a different "word" elaborated on. just my 2 cents
- No way, maybe he was on a good day when he spoke to us!
Can see your point about his limited style dude.Hombre_Lobo - maybe overdone, but many people have a specific style they stick to. And his is done by hand.juhls

why d'you meet up? you working together?
- No, just gave at talk at my uni.

He pretty much owns his own style and countless others have ripped it off ever since he became well known. You can pretty much mention his name or show his work to a designer and assume they know it.
Not many of us can lay claim to that, regardless of if we like it or not..

Is he made of curling tendrils or what? Must be like shaking hands with a fern.

Don't get me wrong, I love some of his stuff, but I don't think he's "one of the world's best illustrators," personally.
