Ai Weiwei "Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads" Invitation Design

We had the privilege of designing the invitation for the opening of the exhibition "Circle of Animals: Zodiac Heads" by Ai Weiwei, an artist whom we deeply admire. The public art exhibition will be at the Pulitzer Fountain at Central Park (Fifth Avenue at 59th street) from May 2-July 15.

Ai Weiwei was recently arrested by the Chinese government.

I don't know where I'm going but I want to be there

Our book cover illustration "Steppenwolf" for Henry Holt publisher, was featured in the book "I don't know where I'm going but I want to be there: The Expanding Field of Graphic Design 1900-2020."

The book was published for a symposium held at the Graphic Design Museum in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately it credits the year as 1963 (it was actually done in 1988) and creator(s) as 'anonymous' instead of the following:

art director: Lee Wade
designer: Nicky Lindeman
illustrator: Mirko Ilic
