Sharing Art With Others

I just love it when something completely unexpected happens that relates to art. Today my (snail) mailbox yielded up a hand-addressed envelope. Since that doesn’t happen much anymore, I was immediately intrigued, and became even more so when I discovered that it had been sent from England.

There were two postcards inside. Here is the first one:

Ali had stamped and addressed the second card to herself on one side, and had left the other side blank. She requested that I draw something on it (since all artists must be able to “draw”, sigh…), so I printed out an image from my current project (which can be seen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janealdenstevens/?hl=en), taped it on, and wrote a brief message:

You never know who will find you and your work nowadays, and it’s a blast when something random like this happens.
