Sunday Safari - Animal Orchestra

poster by Rolf Knie, 1996

These past couple of weeks have been strangely quiet around here, as you may have noticed. 

I have been in Viareggio working with my friend Pierluigi of airbag design on the layout of an art exhibition catalog, 

and we had so much to do and such a tight deadline that I wasn't able to dedicate my time to anything else. 

Luckily the project was interesting, and I'll be showing some of the artworks exhibited soon. 

But first, let's celebrate my return to Florence and to Animalarium with some happy music!
