Off to the printworks tonight for a Hillman Curtis lecture.  The designers at Flame are all going, on behalf of Flame Digital. WoWhoooh! Should be interesting.

After a successful 10 year music career Hillman decided to change course and bought himself an old Mac II and enrolled on a Photoshop course

Self taught, Hillman founded New York based digital design firm hillmancurtis, inc in 1998. After a successful 10 year music career Hillman decided to change course and bought himself an old Mac II and enrolled on a Photoshop course. Despite not having any formal training in digital graphics he has managed to utilise his artistic eye and formidable work ethic to rise to the top of his chosen field.

Hillmancurtis, inc have grown from designing small flash ads to some of the most trafficked sites on the web. A five man operation, they have garnered a cupboard full of awards for their clever and innovative design solutions.

Update - the verdict

Yawn, yawn. Hillman spent 75 percent of his time showing his stuff and talking about what he is promoting next. For me personally I went to learn something. The only thing I learn't was that the booze goes fast. So fast infact that there was only one bottle of booze left. Leaving us to watch Jon as he waved it round like the world cup trophy ha ha.
