Hello friends, I have a newsletter.
Welcome to my newsletter, Found Objects, inspired by the eclectic array of old furniture, objects, and ideas floating around my apartment.
This past summer, when I moved back to Maine, all I needed to complete my space was a large wooden drawing table. Days later, while running, I spotted the exact table I’d envisioned abandoned on the side of the road. Could I have manifested it?
Most of my ideas come to me when I’m walking, running, and giving myself time to observe my surroundings and let my mind wander. I bring these ideas, sketches, (and sometimes objects) back to my apartment, where I mainly work at my drawing table.
I plan to publish this newsletter every two weeks or so, featuring whatever I’m working on at the moment. This may include: drawings from my sketchbook, notes from my research, short comics, long comics, photos, illustrations, essays, and works in-progress.
But what about Instagram?
Sure, I still post artwork on Instagram, but these days, I’m mainly delving into longer, messier projects, and when I’m not scribbling in my notebook, I’m experimenting with new materials and techniques. This blog format allows me to document my progress and capture behind-the-scenes sketches that don’t perfectly align on a grid.
