Does anyone know the name of the director?

The latest issue of Uppercase Magazine is hot off the press! It contains my interview with Illustrator Martin Haake who I interviewed last summer in Berlin. Below are a few pics from my wonderful visit with him in his studio.
This 4th issue is packed with lots of great articles including one on quirky paper collections. Really gorgeous stuff. FYI In Toronto you can find the magazine at Good Egg, The Workroom and TYPE books. (Three of my favorite places!)
