6/16: drafting
...an embarrassing letter. It'll go out to a small group of friends and family to whom I sent a pamphlet back in March. I didn't realize at the time that the fuser on my printer wasn't working and consequently the toner wasn't sealed--so the excess got pressed onto the facing pages when the pamphlet went through the postal machines. Not how I want a pamphlet to arrive on someone else's end! Now that I have a new printer, I made fresh copies to send out and wrote a letter to explain. I was dreading dealing with this--I'm mortified that it happened and red-cheeked when I think of sending the new ones out, but I know I'll feel better once it's all in the past tense.
6/14: another round
...of Quiet Writing at a distance with a friend. I'm under-the-weather today, so I didn't know if I'd have 2 hours' worth of thoughts & words, but I did! Though my summer project of looking at images that close retellings of the Odyssey is turning out to be bigger than expected (and that feels overwhelming / anxiety-producing at times), it is really fun to linger on analyzing the pictures.
6/12: receiving postcards
...from the iHanna DIY Postcard Swap. It was a pleasure to send mine out, and it's nice to find some from other people in my mailbox.
6/11: two hours
...of writing about Gareth Hinds' graphic novel adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. I focused mostly on its closing pages and how they relate to the opening ones.
6/10: embossing
...a booklet in response to a mail call for tactile art. No words--just embossed asemics.
6/9: starting the morning
...by reading an article in Artforum. It got me into a creative mindset that lasted the rest of the day as I worked on a new pamphlet. Though I didn't end the day with a satisfying "product," it was a luxury to spend hours trying different things.
