Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Capturing Inspiration

When I’m seeking inspiration there are a few places I like to visit. Whitstable is one of them. Vintage and retro shops are plentiful and a wonderful art and crafts shop can be found on the seafront. I will always find something in Whitstable that will capture my imagination and prompt me to pick up a sketch-pad or some knitting needles!

But surprisingly last Sunday in Whitstable it turned out that I was the subject that caught someone’s imagination. Whilst studying some paintings in a local art shop, the owner, an artist was sketching me. I was completely unaware of this sketch until he approached my husband and asked if he would like it. He didn’t want any money for it, a true artist in my mind.

Although it was just a sketch it captured me well, I was completely overwhelmed by it. It also inspired me to carry a sketch-pad wherever I go so I can sketch or make notes of those random things that stop you in your tracks.

    What a charming story! Isn't it wonderful that we can be inspired by so many things; music, literature, poetry and even in your case - an art shop!
    And the fact that within that environment you were the inspiration to someone else!
    Looking forward to seeing your sketches.
