The Great Snailmail Experiment: Round 2

January 02, 2010

Great Snailmail Experiment, round 2

Happy new year folks! 2010 is going to be amazing, I can feel it in my chilled Chicago bones.

Last year I decided to draw something every day in January to get 2009 started off right. Although it merely made me lose more sleep than usual, since I would often start my drawing after midnight and scramble to finish something by 3-4am, I'm going to try it again. And this time, I'm going to mail out my daily drawings.

Walking through Humboldt Park at 1am in the brisk 4º weather, I was prompted to make a list of all the things that I really love yet managed to not include in my life in the last few years. The first thing that came to mind is swimming, so that's drawing #1:

swimming.

cafe by the beach.

campfire.

tidepool.

colorskull.

bugbelly.

snowy walk.

the miracle of life! or "why don't we do it in the road?"

busgirl

nosebath

romance

skull on a pillow

papercutter 12 (minus text)

blizzard walk

cafe refuge

crooked houses

california el stop

I will mail 28 cards out in January. If you email me your snailmail address I will send you one of those cards, and no stress on sending mail back!. 28 people have sent me their snailmail already! Thanks!


Random special bonus: here's a (terrible, sorry) recording of Eva's amazingly weird meow. Carl has the normal meow, Eva's sounds like an alien bug.
