POSTCARDS TO MY PARENTS


Carolyn Sewell, or Pedestrian Typography as she's known on Flickr, seems to have come to the end of her Postcards to My Parents project, in which she sent a doodle a day to her folks for a whole year. I love self-initiated projects like this that really allow an artist to focus on one thing in mass repetition. Carolyn's hand-written typography that is playful yet elegant, playing with puns and pop-culture references that her parents are apparently hip enough to appreciate, and picks great color schemes for her messages so that no two cards are alike. I don't know how they were made -- the colors seem digital at first, but I'm thinking it's all paint pen on colored paper -- but I love and admire them, and find the whole project very inspiring and meaningful.
