I went on a bit of an art bender today in an attempt to calm my mind. Here are some of the results.
I made this one for a friend.
Meh.
I'm considering giving this one away to a friend, though I really like it. It's a little three-dimensional, but you can't tell.
I received a letter, very unexpectedly, from a friend last night right before we parted ways. We've been friends for about two years and though I knew I meant a lot to her and vice versa, the things in that letter just blew me away. It completely made my night, and I'm glad I read it alone because it made me cry. A few of my favorite lines include, "I feel like you understand me, and I can't say that about anyone else." "I am so grateful you allow me to be part of your life." (Holy fuck, it's really the other way around) "At least I know with you here, I am not alone. Thank you with all my heart for making me feel that way." When someone means a lot to you, it's vital to tell him/her so. You never know just how much it's going to mean to that person. Spread the love around. And it's much better when it's handwritten, though e-mails and messages are good to.

I really like your artwork. It's interesting, and you use an interesting mix of mediums. I also rather like that you favor collage, since it is generally underrated I think. I am curious where you find the different elements, like that sheet music, and some of the images. I just like learning about creative processes. Everyone has their own, and I think there's such interesting things to learn from each other.
That also sounds like it was an awesome letter to get. I love letters. I think there is something wonderful and intimate about handwriting a letter, and about receiving one. I also think they are great for when you can't see someone in person, but having something to share with them or tell them, and it would be difficult to articulate on the phone. I don't particularly like the phone all the time, though. It can feel strange and impersonal. On that point, I completely agree with spreading the love around and telling people that you care about them. Too many people just assume others can tell without you having to say it. The impact of hearing you matter to someone is just amazing, though. What a gift.
