The 27th AICP Show opened in NYC this week at The Museum of Modern Art with plenty of wit, whimsy, and wordplay supplied by director William Campbell and the Gentleman Scholar crew.

Gentleman Scholar co-founder and director William Campbell: “‘No brief’ projects are often the best but scariest opportunities. It took a couple weeks just to stop having new ideas and actually get to making.

“It’s also a testament to how much trust the AICP has in its partners to let us jump out there and just create.”

“All of our jobs, from writers to compositors, involve a lot of sleight of hand or illusion. We are all magicians in a way, so this is a subtle nod to those skills.”
