I'm with camel. No drugs, I figured out long ago if I get stuck in a loop or stressed, exercise. Burn out the body and mind while outside and usually the answer comes or the problem goes away. I love a good walkabout which is how this whole art thing took flight for me.

i do not believe in ADHD..

I feel that humans are evolving & our brains keep moving faster as a result of our technology.

The faster our computers can process - the faster our minds move...

I refuse to medicate my super computer

remind me when it comes time to do the letter thing...

PostMuse: Safari has a programming glitch & sometimes displays things in it's native language...(programmers are in another country) so the display looks crazy when u do not have their language installed..uncommon error but it happens - try Chrome

Dewi:
Woo Hoo ... nudes :-O
but...Andy once told me that their are children watching - so standard blackouts would apply I think...(nipples & digglers)

i am gonna catchup on my posts soon - been doing the art but lazy on the posting thing...

The coffee is just kicking in and I have an idea.
How about I offer an incentive for at least one alphabet piece?
Our first mail art 365 electronic book?
Twenty eight quotes fronted by a mail art 365 piece.
Each quote starting with a different letter of the alphabet, quotes will be taken from those not working with the theme, illustrations from those who are. That way everybody has got a shot.
The only quote I am going to hog is the last one for the comma
"the best is yet to come," Frank Sinatra.

Yikes I already have February's theme sorted in my head, so will give alphabet February a miss. Looking forward to yours though

Dewi - when you say you miss some on your iphone, you may want to try the mobile version at http://mailart365.blogspot.com/?m=1

 

Only problem is that the comments system doesn't yet work with this version. I've asked Disqus to look into this and I hope they get on it soon.

Lucky me, no ADHD diagnosis when I was a child!  About the alphabet, I might be in, thining about it. My husband used to do a project with his illustration students, involving finding the alphabet in non-type, and photographing it. Like a shadow of something that makes a "k" or a tree limb that makes an "L" and so on. The students got brilliant results. They created a full alphabet using the best of their finds. I love these kinds of projects. Okay, so maybe I'm in. Okay, count me in. I'm in.

I agree Dewi High school art was terrible for me. I has no idea what they were going on about, and I remember my teacher trying to slow everything down too much. I wish I had learnt so many things when I was younger, but it's ok I picked up photography at 27 and mailart at 29.

 

I find these 2 media so wonderfully unrestrained. I find that photography makes me look around and with the digital SLR I can take 1000 pics if I want or slow it down but I can express myself and with mailart the medium is so flexible. Heck it's not even really a medium, you can just do whatever you like! PErfect for ADHD.

 

I had no idea so many of us hyper-active/creative types were here, but it's not really a surprise.

Andy, I take two drugs every day for my ADHD, and it slows down the thunderstorm in a tornado in a tsunami action of my brain enough that I can work without having to push a thousand other thoughts aside. With the drugs, I only have about 500 to push aside, which seems to be the right number.
