santiago de compostela

last september, I was sent to galicia for 3 days to sketch the "camino" and the pilgrims for an advertising project. at least, we do not win the pitch, but I really enjoy the trip, and thinking my self doing some steps of the pilgrimage soon.
here is the cathedral:

Thank you, Lapin! I like to show them inspirational styles, and we'd JUST been talking about how to design a page and make things hang together. You seem to do it effortlessly...
