I'm sure a few of you are familiar Nick Bantock, the creator of the Griffon & Sabine book series, yes? Today I started to read his book, Urgent: Second Class. In the book, Mr. Bantock gives some insight to his outlook and process in making art.
To anybody interested in making some tom-foolery out of old ephemera — and I suspect that there are one or two of you out there — I highly recommend this book or, at the least, check out Nick's website simply titled NickBantock [dot com].
This evening I was inspired to use some of my new found borrowed perception. Here's a first stab at copping Nick's style.
Maybe a little much here and there, but still, some fun.
Comment
Ik know Nick's books, was even short in contact with him. But he is just creating things without sending them out. For me the essence of mail-art is the sending out and the receiving and the complete postal process. Not a book with fictive journeys and fictive letters, how well they are done.
Just my humble opinion.
