Fred/Alan Reunion, 2004

Jill Gershon was an account executive at Fred/Alan in the late 80s, and she kindly decided to put on a party for those of us she could locate. The result was a wonderful time for all (though Fred had to leave early due to a severe allergic reaction to Jill’s cats).   We thought we’d commemorate the event with a small poster run for the attendees. Maybe it’ll inspire another get together.

We loved posters, especially Fred, who collected (and still collects) more of them than was healthy. Any time we could come up with an excuse we made a poster. This one was a direct cop from a poster Fred had made by the world famous Hatch Show Print in Nashville for one of his cartoon series in 1998.

Fred/Alan spent a fair amount of time promoting itself; we had to get new business after all. But, of course, like all creative companies we had a lot of cool things we wanted to do, and the best client for cool things is always yourselves.
