Emily-Jane Major's postcards.
(7000+ postcards were then hand-delivered around London and the West Midlands over the course of two years. On the back the artist printed her Freepost Address and "love is…" Recipients were asked to respond and return the postcard as part of an enquiry, into love. – source)

This the Simpsons writers' interview in Riposte, both for the yellow paper and Simpsons-style portraits:
MENU, the zine
is one of the things I made as Francis. It consists of photographs and song lyrics.
And it has a very strong sense of place for some reason. I still like it for that.
This is the atmosphere I will try to bring into this project.

And of course, Vadik Marmeladov's LAM, that almost became Dazed&Confused Russia, which partly inspired MENU.

Locations
Uttoxeter, the place where everything begins.
A small town in the middle of nowhere (52.898375, -1.866164, to be precise). I came upon this place one day when detailing Francis' (then: my fake internet personality; now: the hero) Behance profile. It had to be a designer from Europe, but not from a major city. Uttoxeter fits well, I thought. It's England, which automatically adds a layer of sophistication, but it's a tiny unheard-of town, which takes away high expectations.

I've been there once, and a some of the pictures have been uploaded to Francis' instagram, which can be used in the story.
