jackie no. 3


done quickly, kind of wonky, sometimes wonky is more playful than drawing a perfect square, notice how the overlapping lines of the marker don't even matter, another layer of wonkiness makes the original wonky look fine. white gel pen used to make the perforated edge on the black border. the address is wonky. nothin' wrong with a little wonky. jackie never complained.

jackie no. 1


the next ten envelopes will be from the jackie series. she no longer lives at the address on the envelopes. there will be a couple hundred envelopes in this series. this style is done with a gel pen on a translucent vellum envelope. i call the style "two wrongs do make a right" because i double stroke every part of each letter and neither of the strokes are right, but they give a nice base for the dots and cross hatching.
