Chippedy-doo-dah!

A mere twelve hours ago I was brushing egos with the Great and the Greater in the Design world!!! Last night I went to the Chipshop Awards 2009 at Fabric in London ICM won a Vinegar award in the category of Best Use Of Shocking Copy!

See the other entries and results here

It was a night of tough decisions and even controversy at times but I think that a great time was had by all.

After a grueling day of travel through Tube strikes and crazy London driving I made it to the event. On my late arrival I was greeted by the sight of the entertainment – and all I can say is that the rendition of I’m The Only Gay Eskimo In My Tribe will haunt me to the day I die.

I met and chatted to some great people and generally had a wonderful time. Thanks to all for a great night and thanks to Lisa Fraser (pictured above with me) and the Team for a great event. Hope to see you all again next year, when ICM plan to make a clean sweep of ALL the categories.

Andy Forrest – First award since the 50 metres breaststroke.

Well done Andy (I'm just an artworker) Forrest! You look well different with no glasses or beard! You could have dressed up a bit ;0)

Well done Andy and everybody. It was a fantasic project to work on and the results truly were worth an award.
