Lisa Sheehan / AT&T 147th Anniversary Ampersand

AT&T was inspired by the logos Lisa created for Saatchi & Saatchi, but they wanted their own unique spin on it. Lisa heavily utilized AT&T blue, and the CGI Ampersand features a variety of items that represent important moments from AT&T’s long history, including a phone for Alexander Graham Bell and the moon to represent the first call made from the moon. Lisa worked with AT&T’s creative team to lock in how to represent historical moments that would be instantly recognizable to the viewer. The piece was originally intended for social channels and internal use only, but the brand loved it so much, Lisa re-worked the image to jumbo size and the piece was projected onto AT&T’s building for all passers-by to enjoy.

The Handsome Frank Podcast 15 – Joël Penkman

Once again we took the Handsome Frank podcast on the road, this time to a snow covered Liverpool to meet up with the wonderful Joël Penkman. Based in Maghull, on the northern outskirts of the city we turned up at the beautiful mid-century family house that Joël and her partner James call home. The smell of fresh coffee and freshly baked bread greeted us, offering a very welcome sanctuary from the unseasonable elements of the morning.

Sitting down in a sun soaked front room, we talked to Joël at length about an array of subjects, spanning from her journey from Christchurch NZ to the Liverpool suburbs, and how she discovered, and mastered, the ancient art of painting with egg tempera.

Fix yourself a cup of tea, make yourself comfortable and join us for an art adventure that spans the globe and the centuries. Listen to the podcast over at our website; https://www.handsomefrank.com/insights/read/joelpodcast
