Souvenirs from London
The presentation at London's Southbank Centre was a complete success - all the tickets were sold out. Thanks to everyone who attended the event!

The opening of my exhibition at Bluebird went great as well. Aside from my partner Mihaela, Yann Martel and the amazing Canongate team - Jamie Byng and family, Alexa Von Hirschberg, Dan Franklin and Polly Collingridge with her husband Peter - the opening was attended by Phil Dale, Tony White, Rupert Thomson, Emily Young, Kirsty Gunn, James Miller, Duško Šibl, Russell Celyn Jones, Kirsten Schmidt, Stewart Wheeler (Counselor, Canadian High Comission), Simon Anderson (Cultural Relations Officer, Canadian High Comission), Flora Turner (Cultural Counsellor, Croatian Embassy), Jasna Paro (Croatian TV's London Correspondent) and many more. It was my great pleasure to meet you. My deepest apologies to all whose names I don't know or haven't mention.
