Day 5: The only word is YES!





Above are some of examples Ewald's earlier work 1985.
These posters form part of a handprinted book paying homage to Werkman, Sandberg, Grieshaber and Reichert.

"Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high"

Today saw Ewald's 'Yes" hung on the studio wall and it is massive.
A permanent positive state of mind hung as a center piece in the studio of the Typogallery.

We have learnt about the origins of the exclamation and met acclaimed Dutch literature critic Ivan Sitniakowsky.
He welcomed us into his home and guided us through his best finds from todays flea markets.
Highlights were illustrations from Benjamin Rabier and a selection of Japanese calendars printed using wood blocks.

The evening finished with Ewald in a local bar that is almost unchanged since the 19th Century.

Bed time.
