I want to be your penpal
Since 2008 I’ve been sending a letterpress printed postcard to your mailbox every month, with a prompt for your response.
Imagine a low pressure penpal who asks good questions.
Imagine also an art subscription with an option to participate.
Imagine a surprise in your mailbox every month.
Why Keep Writing?
Because you want connection.
Because you value tangible art.
Because you like a low-pressure monthly prompt
or because you know someone who does.
It’s natural to have questions
so I’ve got answers for the most frequently asked ones!

My story:
I am a letterpress printer who only wants to print postcards and a writer who loves to edit my wild thoughts into one good question.
I started this as a way to keep in touch with friends but now it is an offering. It is a chance to sit with a question, sometimes silly, sometimes introspective, and then write or draw a response. It is the tiniest bit of a creative thing for people who don’t think they are creative.
For me, I get to hear many responses to something I’ve been thinking about. It is so much better than a “how are you?”, I get to ask over 150 people what they are thinking, about things they cherish or for a bit of advice.
Stay anonymous or sign your name. Mail me a stack of cards once a year or one card once or every month, I will keep writing to you. This is how I am making sense of too much too fast world. This is my way of slowing down.
As a bonus, I sometimes ask other artists and writers and thinkers to work with me!
