I have reason to believe you’re just a theory–part V The theory | (0)
I know, part IV is missing, partly because I had a break from blogging, but partly because it blew my mind.So… another coincidental connection. This time involving someone in London and Japan.A few weeks ago, as part of JP74's work with D&AD, we were introduced to Alasdair Scott of The Bright Place.
