HELLO ANDREW DAY.
I can write, draw, paint, etch, film and photograph.
I CAN’T DANCE.
GET
MILK
My first proper foray into filmmaking, using filters and f-stops like I was making an aquatint.

ROZZI ×
KI SMITH
For Rozzi’s Fig Tree at Ki Smith Gallery, Manhattan. My track was “Soft”: discarded personal effects photographed, printed onto fondant icing and locked inside a commercial advertising frame.
PAUL

A bespoke dog coat for a window display on Floral Street.
SOUTHWARK

Central government cut Southwark Council funding by £102m. A perfectly polite political protest asked residents one simple question: “What matters most to you?”

DIVORCE
IS…
A collaboration that began with a handwritten ad on a wall at St Martins. I answered with an illustration sent by fax. Madeleine Farley loved it. I remain very bloody grateful she did.
LA
SIRÈNE
My family challenged me to make a short film whilst we were on holiday. So I did. Inspired by the fire-warning alarm that tore through the sleepy village of Marguerittes.

THE STORY
SO FAR.
After graduating from Central Saint Martins, I met Nick Rhodes. He flew me to Malibu for a job interview at a house where David Hockney was staying. I met John Taylor, who didn’t particularly like my work. I got the job anyway.
I made the artwork for Medazzaland and began a relationship with Duran Duran that has somehow endured for more than 30 years. After that I ran the art department at EMI Music for several years, which was far too much fun. Eventually I grew up a little and joined advertising and digital agencies including McCann, Imagination and Sapient. These days I’m a gun for hire, currently doubling as an ice-cream man.
