Ray Johnson

I just watched How to Draw a Bunny two nights ago. This is a documentary on the artist Ray Johnson, the founder of the New York Correspondence School. Unfortunately, I've been feeling a little blah and couldn't really get my emotions out onto the canvas. By the end of my Saturday night, I did one very sad (as in not good) collage. This was before I watched the documentary.
I love discovering "new" artists because they help me approach the art in a different way and let myself just go.
I thought about some of the things that were bothering me and wrote about four sentences onto paper. I haven't found the images but I have found the words. So, I feel good about that.
I love mail. Real live mail- paper, stamps, pens & all that. So, be on the look out for my mail art. I love the idea and now, having to know a little about the innovator of mail art, I have a bit of inspiration.
If anyone wants to send me some, I'd be happy to receive and reciprocate. Just email me.
