He was a member of Fruer with Karl Hyde and Richard Smith (1980-1983), and creative director of Da Gama (1981-1984). He served as head of Art and Video at A&M Records (1984-1987), and creative director of Vivid I.D. (1987-1991). Tomato was launched in 1991. Warwicker reveals that he is completely colour blind, and that he has been working on a philosophy and art book, ‘Wordless Things: The Floating World Ukiyo-e’ for the past twenty years.
