New from Brooke Cooks!

Brooke sends me this wonderful envelope covered in happy circles, one of which is some kind of perpetual calendar, I think. Inside, a beautiful blue stripe card and a vintage PC of Mt. Rainier, which you NEVER see like this! The blue stripy card is wonderfully textured, as nice to touch as to see. Thanks…

Perfection from Denise

Denise sets the bar so high, especially with her ATC's. You can't tell from the photo, but the material on the left hand ATC is aluminum foil, so fragile. It's stamped "Follow Your Heart--Make Art" in pale green that runs off the card at the top. Her little man on a bike is just amazing. I love the lights in the buildings! And she attended a book-making class and made the…

Tears from Jay Block

Isn't this great? If I were better at talking about art I would say all kinds of erudite things about this, but all I can say is I love it. I love how even part of the address is on a torn bit of paper, and how the Dada stamps work on the piece, and most of all,…

LIGMA "You'll end up with your teeth all grey!"

LIGMA's art is fascinating. He says this is "an odd little man who cares about oral hygiene, inspired by the short films in the 'don't hug me, I'm scared' series." I'd never seen these films and I checked one out on YouTube--amazing weird stuff. Irony, pathos, and pain. What more could one ask? I love this guy's pink hair and his overalls. His hairy shoulders are a nice touch.…
