Idle Minutes

I’ve been thinkin’…

I like doing postcard art. I think that’s all I’m going to do for a while.

I like the idea of sending each one away with the hope that it might cause a chuckle or smile for someone.

I like that somebody might put it on their cubicle wall at work for decoration.

I like that it might end up on the frigerater in someone’s home. (That’s Georgia talk for refrigerator.)

I like wondering if somebody’s great, great, grandchild will take their great, great grandmother’s postcard that she kept on her frigerator to the Antiques Road Show in the year 2110 and find out it’s worth $30,000 because it’s only one of a hundred or so created by a rather odd amateur artist named Don West who was known to draw them purely for fun and then mail them around the world to spread the fun around.

I know…that’s vain. But so is getting a haircut, wearing jewelry, or driving a “luxury car”. We all have our vanities. So cut me some slack friends and neighbors…humor me.

Soooo, if you would like one of my postcards, send me your name and mailing address using my contact form. I’ll keep a list and send out each postcard after I post it on the blog. No worries about privacy, I’m not gonna sell or give away your address to anybody. The only thing I ask, is that you come back here to the blog and leave a comment on your postcard.
