This new series should be 20 cards in total and is titled: Postcards I'll Never Send (PINS). I think the title is rather appropriate since they are cards meant for a lost love. Like the first series: Hopeless Romantic, they are created through the grieving process so to speak. They are suppose to be the statement of apology and sadness through the contrived efforts and slowest form of interaction. I would hope that people would view these postcards and fill out the other side, address it, put a stamp on it, reread it a few times and wonder if they wrote enough and then get this twisted-knot warmish feeling in their chest coupled with a crunching and crushing rigor of reality that tells them that it's hopeless. Then you will know how I feel, and I've done my job.
I am still in the early stages of this series and plan on spending many more hours on the cards before they are done. Even the Hopeless Romantic cards still need work! The glare from the camera is not ideal and neither is the warping from the mat medium that I used last night, but ohhh well. They will be flat and neato when I'm done. I still really dislike many of them but it's understandable since they are so early in the process, but I wanted to get something online in time. Plus they can't all be winners and likely won't be... :/
The above spelling is intentional and purposeful...
