That’s Knowledge, Wisdom, Humanity to the rest of us.
Which is the motto of The University of Manchester.
Why am I telling you this?
Well, I’ve been very remiss of late with regard to updating my blog. And the reason being is that I have recently taken up a position, at the aforementioned University, as their Head of Creative.
And, why should you give two hoots about this?
Well, you shouldn’t.
But I do have the privilege of working in a gloriously inspiring campus which I just had to share with the class because it is so beautiful.
I feel very fortunate to be treading the same cobblestones as 25 Nobel prizewinners.
Unfortunately, I don’t think they give Nobel prizes for graphic design.
…well then congratulations! Lovely pictures and good luck!
Thank you, Doris. That’s very kind.
Wow Dave, that’s fantastic. I sincerely hope that this will only serve the blog better and that the recent dearth in activity was merely a symptom of your settling in. In addition to enjoying There Is No Cavalry a great deal, I’m saying this because I had something I wanted to run by you. It would take about an hour … oh OK then, 90 minutes …. of your time. But I don’t want to trouble you if you’re up to your academic eyes. Congratulations. I sense a 26th nobel prize a-coming.
Thanks Denis, much appreciated. But I don’t think they give Nobel prizes for student flyers! You have me intrigued… is it a 90 minute phone call? If it is, you can call me! π
Congratulations, Dave! Can’t wait to see you immortalised in stained glass, too. Unless that only happens posthumously. In which case, it can bloody well wait.
Thanks Chris. It’s such a lovely, inspiring place. I’ve got the glaziers coming on Monday to put some pvc double-glazing in.
Congratulations, what a beautiful old building and a wonderful title. Never enough Cognitio in the world. Please still send us snippets when you can. Cheers Sue.
Thank you, Sue. And so true! I’ll do my best to keep on top of things! Keep up the good work on Paintlater – it’s very inspiring. Cheers, David.
Congratulations David, wonderful place. I would love to get in there with my camera. Beautiful images.
Thanks Jo. You’ll have to come down with your camera and I’ll give you a tour. We could even drag old Wolfgang along!
