“Perhaps the most interesting home ideas on the market today.”

Happy Friday,
The times, they are a changin’… or revealin’! The last year forced me, probably most of us, to question what we do and why.
I am oddly thrilled to share the result of this soul searching today.
Reveal: our latest and greatest work
Have you ever tried to summarise the raison d’etre of your life in a short video!? Making this was tough! But also incredibly cathartic:
Artwork: the people and processes behind the magic
I recently met Georgina Cohen, Gallery Director at the Gagosian, and was perversely thrilled to receive her praise for our work. I’m now 50 years old, shouldn’t I be past any need for external validation!? 😂
Well, this little video expresses my vision behind the portrait commissions we arrange, and that’s part of what she complemented. And I admit, it felt great.
Daydream: the ideas that inspire the work
I started this company partly because I wanted to honour my grandparents - just amazing people, all four. Both funny and serious, they did it right. They also had very hard lives, and yet I can’t remember ever hearing a single complaint from them.
Long deceased, I hope they’d be proud of the work we do. That’s some external validation I proudly crave.
These were the first films we ever made: Biographical Videos
You may notice the website has been re-designed, which I hope you find easier to navigate and find cool work you might like. I’d love your feedback: https://mkwstudio.com
Enjoy your weekend,
Richard
