I grew tired of my usual YouTube diet so decided to watch some walking tours of various London locales by John Rogers. This one on Highgate (where I spent a good number of my formative years).
Featured in Highgate Cemetery was this awesome headstone:
I thought it might be that of my all time favourite designer Alan Fletcher so I tried some cursory Googling and, while I couldn’t verify if it was, I came across his obituary in the New York Times, written by Steven Heller. The last passage really struck me:
He died wearing a T-shirt with handwritten words taken from one of his posters: “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.’’

Postscript: Further googling revealed it to be that of pop artist PATRICK CAULFIELD. Another rabbit hole to go down!
