… 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. The show is based on a workshop by Mesa & Cadeira and Anthony Burrill. I like this new short phrase as an equivalent of the familiar ‘Rome’ quote.

This fun film created by Stephan Meierding brings back childhood memories. Still a little envious about those pink happy handles.

Like thin air, these breathtaking pictures of Thirza Schaap for ‘papiermache‘- and ‘milk‘ magazine. Love the seemingly easyness in her photography, in particular her work with children. Besides that she is a truly fun person to work with.
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.
Don’t know if this quote by workisnotajob suits my surfing ambitions. Impressive surfing photography though by Christopher Wilson. Will stick to the ‘go big or go home’ mentality, like that one.

Aren’t they looking great, these ‘Outsiders’ plush toys?
Old plush animals have been collected, opened, turned inside out, sewn back together and have been given a second life. Designed by Atelier Volvox and rewarded with the German Recycling Design Preis 2012. Sweet dreams.

Plant a tree,
that’s enough.
Hang it with all your good memories
as lights
for when you are scared
in the dark.

Breathtaking view at this lookout point in Aurland, Norway. This wooden lookout point is created by Saunders Architecture. Wonder if it will be windy up there and how big will be the moon at night. Wishlisted to see one day.

On my reading pile these really great stories about cycling by the amazing Wilfried de Jong, who also makes kick-ass tv. Beautiful cover picture by Stephan Vanfleteren and it could not have had a better title. It’s a Dutch expressing meaning ‘against the grain’ and feeling the wind on your head is the nicest thing about riding a bike. At least that is for me.
