when in Rome …

… do as the Romans do. This door at the Kemistry Gallery in London is the entrance to the exhibition ‘How to say the most with the least’. Always a challenge for everyone in visual communications.

Inspiring postcard by Marije Tolman on my table. Marije makes great books like the much rewarded book ‘De Boomhut’ [The Treehouse]. A sweat story with impressive drawings she made with her father.
