Alot of good things have been happening, and thanks to inspiration from my friends and former “art school” classmates, I’m getting it all on the netz. The first round of images I’m uploading are of lo-fi postcards I’ve made to send to said friends. For some reason I am much more on top of making, collecting and sending postcards than I am updating this newfangled technology. (Get off my lawn you darned kids!) I’ve always collected ridiculous postcards throughout my travels, both perplexed and enamoured by the outdated photography coupled with horrific typography. I’ll eventually scan all of those collected ones, but for now, here are my attempts to make mailboxes worldwide a little brighter.
* Sidenote: The ‘Free Roman’ postcard was Ms. Emily May’s and my first attempt to see if we can manage to get any postcards sent through the US mail censored. So far, no luck.
**(Sidenote)2: The black and white postcards are all xeroxed found images and quotes from the wonderful novel ‘Shantaram.’ The reverse side of the chupacabra image shows the written side containing all of the Wikipedia entry on ‘chupacabra’ that would fit.
