Congratulations DD. Shame we Aussies can be Knighted any more - otherwise that would be next!! You are certainly topping the list of great Aussie exports this year!
Big congratulations Dave - you're a credit to Australia and the industry.
I think you should have a big lunch at Cannes and invite all your Aussie mates to celebrate?? Eden Rock I hear is good!!
It only seems like yesterday he topped AWARD School and designed that lovely cover for the AWARD Annual.
Matty, perhaps you meant 'can't', rather than its polar opposite 'can'. Kinda changes its meaning, dontcha think?
Absolute legend. From his first day, he was the guy we all watched.
Interesting...the creatives are folding their arms in their PR shots again.
There will be much feasting and mounting to celebrate this glorious victory, bro.
