Be my pen pal?

me: chicago-based artist trying to share my art, make friends, kick my phone addiction, and be more awake to my life

you: someone who wants to receive mail every month with original art, a letter, a sticker, and a playlist (all inspired by a source of awe for me that month) with no pressure to reply

become a pen pal

What's this club about?

The algorithms are overriding my ability to discover, be open to serendipity, and connect with friends and strangers alike. This project is my attempt to reach out through the ether to strangers who want to be a little more whimsical and/or weird in this life. Let's be in awe of our world together.

This is how it goes:

1. I search for inspiration-from my job at a botanic garden, from my neighborhood, from science & art & wherever ideas come from

2. I make something in response: art, a personal letter, a playlist, and a sticker. No ai in this house

3. I take that art and make it into a print, which doubles as a postcard for you to use however you'd like

4. I send all this to you, my pen pal, in a monthly package. This costs money (I tried to keep it low) so the mail club can sustain itself

5. I sit at home hoping you like it. I will write you back if you respond, though there's no pressure to do that
