Mail Art

Why must we all be so far apart? I wish I wasn't so lazy busy these days or I'd start sending you all fabulous mail art, like these Riitta Ikonen pieces! They definitely appeal to the inner crazy junk-loving hoarder woman in me, who is bound to come our thirty years from now when I am alone and start bringing things home to keep me company. But whereas Riitta's work is made of adorably contained, carefully designed squares of chaos, I will probably be living in a rampant hellhole of shitpiles. A moment of silence for future me...

Here are some of my favorites of Riitta's mail art, but there are tons more at her website ( www.riittaikonen.com)!

This would be 10x better if the man on this site was cracka.

Life update

Several months after school I am now... custom framing at michaels to pay the bills,
while teaching at marmalade skies to receive free cake,
while freaking out over the poor quality photographs of my paintings, before fumbling around fruitlessly with InDesign trying to make a simple booklet to send to galleries,
and jealously pouring over the reams of incredbile art on the internet. Also wondering if I can make a bath mat that looks like this:



BUT WHAT, OH WHAT, ARE *Y'ALL DOING?

*YOU GUYS

P.S. Laura got Handmade Nation for her bday and we watched it and it was incredible. Also we found a taxidermied billy goat that was decorated with fake flowers and bright colored candy on the horns. It was glorious.
