Postcards are important.

I recently sat down with a curious and intelligent young man, named Andy Goddard, who was making a documentary about mail art, and wanted to interview me about the postcard project I am doing this year entitled ‘365 Days: A Year in Postcards’. We talked for almost two hours, him being enthralled, and I having my first chance to really talk about these postcards.

The piece Andy has put together shows Lefty Smudges, and the work I am doing, in the larger, thriving community of mail artists. I am so proud.

Welcome, CBC Listeners

Hello Pals,

I just had a lovely chat with Wei Chen from CBCRadio’s Ontario Morning, and thought that there might be a few listeners heading over here to check things out. Let me help you by posting some recent articles that have been written about me, and the work I am doing.

Writing (love) letters is a personal and delicate business, and with a little bit of heart, it can be transformative. I know, it’s changed me.

Until we meet again,
