Congratulations to friend and collaborator Tony De Marco whose photographs are on the cover of the current issue of Creative Review. Tony is a font designer, publisher and artist based in Sao Paulo. The acompanying story is quite amazing. In September last year a law was passed banning all outdoor advertising in the city. As the advertising has been removed the architecture of many giant billboards has been revealed as documented in Tony’s great photographs.

A couple of weeks back I gave two talks in Bucharest. It was my first time in Eastern Europe so it was a very new experience for me. The first took place at a creative agency - Cohn and Jansen, where I demonstrated my work practice in design.
The second was on the invitation of Vlad Nanca where we disussed the relationship between public art/street art and the gallery space.
Thanks to all those who participated in the presentations.
