Postcards Sent From Florida




Well I'm back from my amazing birthday/vacation to Fort Lauderdale and Key West Florida. Can honestly say that it was difficult getting on the plane heading back to NYC.

While I was in Key West and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I brought along a stack of handmade post cards with artwork on it I created from a trip to Florida a few years ago. I had never really printed up the image before and thought it would be fun to use it as my post card image, and add some color to it while on vacation down there. I ended up sending out about 25 post cards, some to friends and family, but the majority of them went to people who had sent in responses to my "Portrait" mailart call that I had not replied back to yet. So I've included a scan of one of the post cards I did, (they're all different), and a list of mailart friends who should have already received or will be receiving a post card really soon.

If anyone is interested, I have a 5 extra cards printed up. If you're interested in receiving one send me your address, otherwise they'll end up buried in a pile in my studio and forgotten.

I also received 4 more submissions to my "Portrait" mailart call. One from Russia, France, Greece and Texas. I'll post them as soon as I have a chance to scan them.

Peace,
David

Heading To Ft. Lauderdale For 10 Days



Hey Friends/Visitors -

I just wanted to let everybody know that I'm heading out of town for a late summer vacation. If you happen to send something in the mail during that time, I obviously will not be able to add it to this blog or reply via mail until my return.

While in Florida, I'll be sending out return posts to anyone I've rcv'd mailart from and have not yet replied too. Since my schedule has been so insane this past few weeks, there's quite a stack of replies I need to get in the mail. The fun thing is that you guys will be getting something special, a little dif. than my usual "Portrait" mailart reply cards.

I won't be able to scan all of the post cards I'll be sending from Florida, but I will post an entry here listing everyone who did get a postcard from me.

Have a great week, I know I will.

Peace,
David
