Look what’s waiting for me every single morning. This little chick-a-dee comes charging at me full tilt boogie and doesn’t slow down until she has MADE CONTACT. Can you imagine starting every work day with a dose of love this startling, this urgent, this alive?
Here she comes! Quick grab the camera! Somehow, I got these shots with coffee in one hand and camera in the other…. and lost neither.
Mailart has been dispatched in all different directions. Time will tell where it lands. I took a dip in Photoshop just long enough to add a few brushes over the recipient’s addresses. The photos were taken in the dark of night which is the worst possible time. I’ll share anyway.
A new stencil for your consideration. The burst of rays are here to stay. Once a design lodges itself into my cerebral cortex it is there to stay awhile. Maybe I shouldn’t have spent so much time looking at Chinese Propaganda Posters last week.
But I mean just look at them! Could I really help it? Don’t discount where your next visual inspiration will come from. One never knows about these things until they happen.
I am deliriously pleased with my latest book by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is why I have so little to say. The night calls me to my bed and my book.

I meant to write UNabashedly. Really, my college education is not going to waste.
Nicole S says
So…is the stenciled person in your picture soliciting chinese propaganda?! Rude!
Just kidding. It’s been a day from hell and I’m a little loopy. That little girl is just too cute. What an angel to love so anabashedly. Let’s pray she never loses that later in life.

Man- that is some PURE joy charging at you. I love it!
The mail art looks amazing- and impossible,and exciting…
I have been cutting stencils, not yet really putting anything together but soon- I love the rays and now feel that it isn’t worth using my stencils without rays. Dang you!!
oh- and once you said that you got most of your stencils from Michaels… uh- really?? I can’t find s**t there.

Yes, that incredible burst of love and energy!!
Such inspiration, I am waiting for some Asian inspiration soon, daughter dearest is traveling in Asia and will be bringing back wonderful tidbits!
Lisa Hoffman says
More visual inspiration? Sheesh.
I love it when you toss in everything that happens to be erupting over there at your place. It’s like a huge Banquet table. Pass me a plate….a BIG one….
