Archive: BJR Neon Graff ATCs (December)
YAY! We have finally made it to December! That means I am only about a month and half behind on documenting my projects here on the blog! I don’t document EVERYTHING, but making sure the final and special ones get some shine- well, that’s important to me! This batch of ATCs are some of my favorite I have EVER done in my whole life and I really want to make them prints at some point. See the original Instagram post HERE. I also decided when I made these, that maybe I should start making a batch a month and that’s exactly what I have been doing. I made two batches in December and two this month. I want to base them on “themes” but usually I just go with the flow.
These cards were made with my rainbow sidewalk scroll paper and some new graffiti handwriting pieces from a BJR Paper Pack. I really wanted to use the last of the packs and kits of 2020, and I thought ATCs were the perfect opportunity for that. I also love looking back on these and realizing how many table scraps and recycled paper and mail art that I used and USE daily! I was just telling my friend Shannon that if my internet art friends didn’t swap and trade paper and scraps with me, or I didn’t find it stashed all over the old boxes and magazines in the house, I would be lost. It’s hard to go hunting the way I was before cv, and quarantine is rough because going out and finding inspiration out there…well, it’s nearly impossible. I am grateful that I can find the best sparks of inspo in the smallest and most mundane of things. I love paper, and I love making art. Life wouldn’t be life without it.
