This is a notebook and an archive. I use this blog to sketch thoughts into words and to post articles and reviews already in print which are difficult to source or in translation. If you are interested to look further, you'll mostly find writing on graphic design and/or Eastern Europe here. You'll need to scroll down the page. There are some downloads and links in the menu above.
