Have a happy New Year, mi amiga. I hope 2010 is a god one for you!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea for a post! Although I'm still majorly jealous of Two for the Road and Seven Brides. :)

Oops, not sure if that posted... I wanted to say I saw the same Phantom print you did (I think) in Toronto. Colour that vivid, applied to images so clearly in the silent aesthetic, was unforgettable. Also, a bit weird.
