This #publishersbindingThursday we are admiring this wonderfully textured cloth grain and the very fitting gilt title decoration on the spine. It also has us wondering, when was the last time you sent someone a letter? Send us one! We’ll write you back!

Lucy was a prolific letter writer and was very adept at communicating her thoughts and feelings to family and friends via hand written missives. To me, writing a letter, or sending a hand written note or card is much more personal and meaningful than a bland, unfeeling message pecked out in an email or text message where the tone is usually lost. This personal touch goes a long way to show people that you care and is almost always appreciated by the recipient. I usually avoid topical subject matter here but despite the issues and criticisms surrounding the US Postal Service, I hope they can hang in there so people will be able to send letters for many years to come. Let’s resurrect the lost art of letter writing!! “And none will hear the postman’s knock without a quickening of the heart. For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?”—W.H.

Good afternoon, everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted! I finished my first quarter back at SCAD with all studios and it wasn't so bad. I ended up with all A's and got to produce a lot of work that I'm super proud of. As spring break comes to an end, I'll finally be posting some projects from those classes with a few adjustments. My first task in Introduction to Illustration was to create a US postal stamp for an endangered species and I chose the Amur Leopard. Unfortunately, there are only 84 left in the entire world because hunters poach them for their beautiful, spotted fur. Every animal plays a part in keeping our ecosystem balanced and it's our job to help conserve it! https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZd8vplaCz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ajjukquvet8j
