Drus Dryden

MIDWEIGHT . Copywriter, Specialist writer

Brevity is the soul of wit, lingerie & long copy. I’ll keep this short and sweet.

I’m a writer, and ideas man. Someone once called me a walking idea, that pretty much sums it up. Seeing things conceptually has allowed me wide experience across advertising, publishing and product design.

I’ve been lucky to work with some creative luminaries around the world. These have included indie ad agencies Modernista!, Boston, and Strawberry Frog and Droog Design in Amsterdam. I have also supervised a school of vicious Piranhas as they swam around a chandelier at Art Basel, Miami, and was the assistant at Fantastic Man magazine. But doing it all just about killed me, so now I’m happy to be back home.

I’ve just finished a book, fantastic shy eyes, about two people I almost met once in San Francisco. I’m currently working on an autobiographical pop-up store. To see what that means, swing by St Paul Street Gallery in November ‘09. My next project will be a new model for web distribution.

I’m best suited to unique projects that need interesting thinking. I love writing web copy and headlines, and my dual experience in ads and product design makes for great direct.

If there’s something strange, in you neighbourhood, who ya gonna call? Drus Dryden.
