Welcome to New Jersey the sign said, Welcome to New Jersey.

Driving down the sun soaked hills, the sun soaked hills.

Pistoia, Pistoia you blew at me that hot dry kiss.

Pistoia, Pistoia you gave me melon, prosciutto and cheese.

I walked through your baked streets and stepped within your piazzas and Duomo.

I tasted your wine, I ate your bread, I sucked in your jellyfish infested sea at Viareggio.

Aperol Spritz, due Aperol Spritz. Grazie Mille Bukowksi.

At night Piazza della Sala came alive, with all the hipster kids kicking it back

and me with the strongest Limoncello I ever had.

CCT I thank you, I thank you, your hospitality, your kindness, your insane good vibes.

Grazie Mille Pistoia, Grazie Mille New Jersey!

About Anna Horváth

I am a freelance illustrator and narrative designer creating works in various disciplines of the visual arts, counting also exhibition-, installation-, and furniture design as my areas of expertise. As I was always passionate about storytelling through art, I graduated with an MA in Narrative Environments from Central Saint Martins - University of the Arts London. An architecture degree from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest provided a solid foundation for my exhibition- and installation design projects. My primary focus now is on illustration, the visualisation of great architectural pieces and witty social commentary forms the basis of my work.
