Words and Pictures
What do you do to relax after a busy day meeting deadlines, liaising with journalists or putting the finishing touches on a corporate pitch? A couple of drinks after work, maybe, or, if you’re feeling particularly energetic and virtuous, down to the local gym or football pitch to work up a sweat.
No so former Brunswick and now College Hill Partner, James Hogan who, having just released his book, The Art Upstart’ (an autobiographical look at his life in PR and how his hobby, art, has become his passion) is now receiving critical acclaim for his creative talents outside the office.
With plaudits from the likes of Sir David Frost, Greg Dyke and Adam Boulton, it’s clear that James is not only an accomplished PR, but a talented artist, too. So much so that the first 28 pictures from what will be an eventual portfolio of 225 works is set to go on show in a one-man-artistic-exhibition on 7th June at Cork Street, with a proportion of the sales being donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
It’s also clear that in overcoming the reputedly snobbish art establishment, James is using his PR skills to great effect courtesy of a viral marketing campaign. The Art Upstart, a beautiful book in itself, also has its own website (www.theartupstart.com), Facebook and Twitter pages and is generating deserved media interest.
Anyway, can’t tell you any more because we really must get cracking on that novel, but feel free peruse this at your leisure: http://bit.ly/bxfu6e
