new work
two new posters for the dutch national ballet, firstly the ‘canta ballet’ shot with ‘erwin olaf’ late last week and a rehash of an older poster for ‘hans van manen’
to see more about the rather special ‘canta’ ballet project, see here (me studio was, by the way, not involved in the design of this website or project ident)
