It all started when you sent me a message of how we didn't live that far apart, but no, really, and I'm in a bit of a story telling mood at the moment, so how many characters do I get here anyway? but it really started out with me printing a short story out for a friend and I didn't check the printer first so there were index cards in there instead of letter size paper so that's why there's all this printing on the card. My friend had lost one of her two twins to SIDS at five months old the first week of January and her birthday was a week later so I wanted to give her something that would just "be there" sort of, like you can't really do anything I can't it is just helpless but I loaded letter paper and gave the short story and some other writing and some Native American flute music a couple of CD's and saved the card and then on Febuary 18 I went and picked up my daughter from UT-K and took her over to the art supply store to get her some supplies for one of her art classes and had enough money to buy a tube of yellow ocher watercolor paint so on February 22 I got things out on the back door landing in between rain storms and did that phase of it, then added the pastel, oil pastel, and pencil a little later, sparyed some fixative on it before running it through the printer again, doing a photograph from the "Shadow Stories in B/W" (which can be found on my face book page as ..../loveday.sudio and into the photos, which is a photo of the sky on December 22 of last year which was an amazing day of clouds, so I cheated on this one and converted it to b/w and inverted to negative to go into the shadow stories, and the tri-color cartridge on my printer is supposed to be out of blue but for some reason it printed this black and white photograph out with some blue in it, so then I went to print the address and forgot to flip it over and remembered it just as it sucked it in so that's why the address shows up on the "back side" and that's mail art. But I really like the photograph from the session on the back landing, so here's it to go with all this. Love and peace, mail art fans. Oliver!
