Every year Anna Brones makes a postcard calendar. These 7x5" calendars are designed so that when the month is over, you can cut off the artwork and send it as a postcard. Just cut along the dotted line, buy a stamp, write a nice note and send it off. Once cut, postcards are about 4x5". A great challenge to send a handwritten note to a friend.
From the artist:
Every piece in this year’s calendar is an ink drawing. In a flattened, digital age, I wanted something that felt more textural, more tactile. A little more wild. Instead of grabbing a brush, or my usual blade, I went outside the studio and picked a dried stem of a bracken fern. This would be my tool. I dipped it in the ink jar and slowly began to make marks on the page, creating scenes and abstractions inspired by places and views that I love. Some real, some imaginary. The result is a collection of drawings that hopefully feel more alive, like they’ll jump off the page.
The calendars are loose, unbound, 7x5" sheets and printed on recycled paper in Seattle, Washington.
