About Me

.I'm compulsively conscientious -- if you don't receive something I've promised to send, please let me know!

Favorite stuff

I'm fond of all kinds of paper ephemera and use it in collage, artist books, and mixed media projects. I spend a lot of time in art museums worshiping at the shrines of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Surrealist, and Expressionist artists. Currently my favorites are Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Joseph Cornell. I enjoy photography, and I design and print some of my own postcards. I like handmade stuff. My aesthetic is more wabi-sabi than kawaii.

Favorite themes

Typography, art, vintage advertising and travel, food and drink (I'm a fan of craft beer). I love the old and the strange, especially related to science, technology, and geography. Steampunk rules; edgy is excellent!

Things I don't like

I don't watch TV and I'm not religious. Cute sets my teeth on edge. And I loathe Xmas music.

Comment: It was really weird all right, and really huge! Surprisingly it arrived intact -- not even a bent corner. Amazing considering the way the PO often mangles normal sized pcs. Would love to hear about your adventures in Budapest.

Comment: Thanks for the card-the thickness of it was a surprise, and a good way to use foam board from school projects!

Comment: I was so amazed when I opened my mail box to find your swap!! I would love to know the glue you use!! Thanks for all the goodies inside. Almost all of it has been put to good use already!! I'm so happy I got you as a partner and couldn't be more thankful
Response: Oh yay - so glad it arrived safely! It's always a little nerve wracking sending something out naked into the world. I used a Xyron to adhere the background, washi tape for decor, and a layer of Mod Podge to seal. The Xyron is kinda pricey, but I love it - I tend to make a big mess with liquid glues.
