The postal box has been full every week when I head up to Clayton Street.  June has been a good month for mail art.   There was even some mystery mail from Portland, Oregon. No idea who sent it, but I do love it — and it so happens I am currently working on collages with old yearbooks myself.   Here is a list of the artists shown here:

Lynne Buckner – California

Jennie Hinchcliff – California

William Mellott – Taiwan

Dori Singh – California

Fleur Helsingor – California

Mindaugas Žuromskas – Lithuania

Jerome Jacobs – California

Meral Agar – Turkey

Marina Salmaso – Denmark

Katerina Nikoltsou - Greece

The Sticker Dude – New York

Jon Foster – North Carolina

Valdor – Catalonia/Spain

Gregg Biggs – Museum of Unclaimed Ephemera – California

Kathy Barnett – Missouri

Anonymous – Oregon

I was wondering, is it difficult at all to have to draw similarly to the style of su? Or is it easier? Personally because of my style being far near su's style I find it hard to replicate something similar to the style. If it's fairly simple for you, do you have any tips?

If I’m completely honest, adapting to the SU Style was a bit of a learning experience for me. I have been bouncing between different styles the last few years varying from what I consider my ‘own’: 

To more simplified BATIM: 

To a mix between the two: 

My own art is a lot more detailed then Steven Universe, finding ways to show joints without having specific ‘joints’ has been some of the hardest parts for me.That and the feet and legs.. god damn tubes with nubs... 

I’d say pull together references, I have an entire folder dedicated to them at this point. I know my art strays off-model pretty frequently as more of my own stylization seeps in, and I’m working on that honestly, but don’t entirely reject it either. If it looks right roll with it! Nobody said it has to be perfect.
