Hit and Run!

Danielson in London!

YAY we’re BACK!

Going away was fun, being in Berlin was fab, but COMING HOME is the BEST! YAY! i think i missed home a lot this time round. When we arrived i was saying to David “I really think we should come and live here for year, learn German, genow?” but after three days, I was all

Now a word from our sponsors…

     We weren’t really sure how big this show was going to be when we got on the plane, but as soon as we arrived at Alexanderplatz we saw subway posters, and flyposters all over the city! We’re not ashamed of our tourist photos.

Illustrative 2007

For the first half of September we’ll be in Berlin as part of the Illustrative 07 art fair. I’ll be doing a lecture there that I’ll be repeating here in a little while. The lecture will be about us, but I’ll be talking about Danielson and Eric Gill mostly. We don’t know what to expect,
