Bernstein & Andriulli celebrated their latest book “Best Piece of Advice Ever” – a collaborative effort with Creative Social, designed by ilovedust – in London at the infamous Shoreditch space “Village Underground” on June 26.
The event featured talks from the leaders of the global creative community and a lively panel discussion, chaired by B&A Director of Illustration and Interactive, Louisa St.Pierre. Numerous artists featured in the book were also on-hand to sign books and talk about their inspiration and work, and Andrew Rae illustrated live his response to a stream of people’s “best piece of advice” submitted to the website. A Samsung notebook and its signature stylus were his tools, and the images were projected onto huge screens for all to view, facilitated by interactive hot shop: Special Moves. See the whimsy and irreverence here:

In addition, Sir Peter Blake limited edition bags containing Kidrobot toys were gifted to those who purchased the book and tickets for the event.
The e-book can be purchased now at Blurb here.
Limited edition art prints from the book are available for purchase now from Jealous Gallery.
The Best Piece of Advice book was born of a simple yet quite fantastic question by one of the Socials at Creative Social Paris to one of the speakers – ‘What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given?’
Jim Haynes, an accomplished fellow, notorious for the lively open dinner parties hosted at his Parisian apartment for 35 years responded “if you do something for someone, forget it immediately. If someone does something for you, remember it always”.
Advice we try to adhere to every day.
The book collects the best piece of advice from each of the members of Creative Social, matches them with the talented illustrators and designers from Bernstein & Andriulli, and brings them to life.
It’s a bigger idea that will live on way beyond the event, so we’d like to pose the question to you: what’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
