Is this the cutest book in the library!? 💌 ☎️ This #artistsbook, titled "r & j: the txt msg edition," is a translation of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet...as T-9 text messages! The artist asked his 16-year-old granddaughter to translate the scene and then enclosed the translation in a discarded Nokia cell phone.

J: y do u have 2 b romeo? if u change ur name & promise u luv me ill change mine.

Title: r & j: the txt msg edition
