me and Creative Review

I have been working hard to raise MSDC's profile and practice what we preach to our clients. Here is proof! Published in Creative Review.

our favourite moats!

Moats have been getting some bad press because of the recent expenses scandal so I have dedicated some time to list some of our favourites.


Wells, Somerset

Leeds, Kent

Caerphilly, Glamorgan

Bodiam, East sussex

Unlike our current MP's, we won't frivolously blow your budget on ludicrous expenses such as the upkeep of our moat. One because we don't have a moat, and two, because we provide cost effective graphic design and advertising solutions to market your business online and off-line.

So get in touch! After all no man is an Island unless you are Douglas Hogg MP.

a pint and a painting

Some time ago on a trip to Dublin I whizzed around the National Art Gallery (to duck out of the wind and rain. I suspect it was too early for the pub.) I became acquainted with the artist James Tissot.

I discovered an etching of a pub on the Thames in Gravesend, called The Three Crows. Whilst sitting in the local boozer, The Three Daws and sipping on my Guinness and discussing great masters (as we do) on a Friday lunchtime, it reminded me of this etching by James Tissot seen at the afore mentioned National.



So the jackdaws must translate to crows. What is "quite interesting" as Stephen Fry would say is that it led to a more finished painting called The Captains Daughter.



All this took place 100 years ago about 25 yards from where I write. Tissot is definitely an accomplished painter, and it notches up another historical fact for Gravesend.
