PM: Lamington Drive is a pretty weird name for a gallery.
JW: Jeremy Wortsman is an even weirder name, so that wasn't an option.
PM: Why did you name it after a primary school fundraiser?
JW: Well when I first heard it I thought it was a street name, which reflects the community aspect of the agency as well as its Australia-centric mission. I also thought the idea of selling baked goods was a nice metaphor for the life of a commercial artist.
PM: Oh. We thought it was one of those things that seems funny when you move here from America. Like how we say rubbish bin and car park. We thought you were making a comment on our antipodean quaintness.
JW: Yes. That too.
PM: Oh right. So, will there be lamingtons at least?
JW: Absolutely.
PM: And what else?
JW: Beer. Wine. Art. Unicorns. Me.
PM: Give us some adjectives about the artists and your outfit.
JW: Handsome and ill-fitting. That covers both quite accurately.
Medium: Illustration
Drink: Anything, as long as you look good holding it
