Meeting once a month to talk about our creative projects, exchange about new discoveries, books, websites, ressources, and in fact, exchange the books with a little more of ourself in it every time we met.

A little more than a year later we now have 2 books, filled with our lifes, thoughts, and views - all this trough collage, painting, drawing, filling the book with as many color, words and pictures as we felt drawn to.

The book became an exit, where there were no other limits than the book itself, his format and pages.

Art is, freedom.
