oh yes, the journal.
January 18, 2008
this is one of the opening pages from a collaborative journal that i made with my friend alexis, who lives in california. yes, we do the cute snail-mailing back and forth. seriously, opening this package every few weeks and looking at her new drawings was like christmas.
it was also like having a drawn-out (ha ha pun!) conversation, one that just isn’t possible via phone or internet. i originally started a blog on blogger that was to be dedicated just to these drawings. then i could never get the formatting right, and our second (and current) journal is coming about more slowly, so i figured i’d just include it in this blog as we get it scanned.
‘m not going to put up any of her pages here, unless i get her permission-but they are truly beautiful. plus, she’s getting her master’s in poetry, so, you know, her stuff is eloquent and shit.
and another
…
totally okay to put up my pages on here… i like this new blog site by the way. have i said yet that i’m sorry it took me forever and a day to do the last entry? at this rate i’ll be out of california before we finish the second one… sigh.
