We have a maHOOsive white wall in our stairwell at No90. It’s been like that for 3 years – staring at us accusingly, as if we’ve forgotten to dress it. We’ve been deliberating what could go on there – so many ideas! Anyway, taking some inspiration from our roots, our talented Eri spent time watching the (Hitchcock – best version) movie of The 39 Steps, where a rather dapper young man called Richard Hannay goes on the run across Scotland due to a murder and a mix-up. The result is a collection of Eri’s unmistakable ink illustrations that encapsulate the story’s mysterious nature…

And here’s how they all come together!

Now, there remains just the small matter of getting it onto the wall… (anyone got some spare scaffolding kicking about? – Ed)
