jeevs sinclair

I got myself a pad of about a dozen blank 4×6 postcards yesterday on the way home from the dentist’s. They’re very hefty (watercolor 140lb) and I’m very eager to make good use of them. I’m thinking I might draw one of my photographs for the front side (or if that doesn’t work out too well, I’ll experiment with manually enhanced printing).
Let me know if you’d like receive a little something in the mail and I’ll try and come up with something interesting for you. I’m still not sure what what exactly I’m going to do with these but I’ve got a bunch of ideas floating around. I’m also thinking about letterpressing (inspired by jasonsantamaria) and maybe starting a snailmailing-list of interesting junk .. real junk not just handwritten links ;-) but still indirectly inspired by the spontaneity and random factor of tumblelogging [i.e].
[Anyways,] I can’t make any promises, but if you leave me your mailing address or somehow communicate it to me, I’ll try to come up with something interesting to send your way. “Requests” or even vague inspiration are welcome.
If I ever get into letterpressing, I think a snailmailing-list might actually be really cool; or sans the small scale mass printing of ancient letterpressing, we could arrange a round-robin-esque chain mailing, perhaps with appended post-it notes or something of the sort.

[I don’t really know where I’m going with all this,] but I’m really liking some of these ideas. Be sure to hit me up with your thoughts if unconventional group snail mailing appeals to your groove.

in drinking bottled water, i figure it’s best to have my spending not just work its way into pepsico’s profits; instead of drinking dasani or aquafina, i buy fiji and ethos water. Both are fine-tasting bottled waters
but more importantlythe profits end up in Fiji (where they are invested in the beautiful island nation’s developing economy) or better still the ethos water fund, which is a non-profit robinhood-style dealio which sells bottled water to us in order to afford clean drinking water to the many parts of the world that don’t.
the $US 300bn spent by the US gov’t last year on the military, is in fact more than enough money to get clean drinking water to everyone in the world, can you imagine that!

i’ve already written about how i love the ethos idea,
the irony of it all is quite beautiful and the cause is excellent.

also if you need flavour in order to not get bored, (real) lemon and/or lime are great; also tea is usually a very good option, especially green tea (very good for you and very tasty)
