I have ended up using hundreds of old postcards in my work during the past year. And my post office box is filling up as people are sending me postcards for my first piece of 2012. The other day I received a little box that was filled with amazing goodies. Most of the postcards were European and about 100 years old. The print quality on the ones from Vienna is quite amazing. The images are as vivid and detailed today as the day they were printed. I couldn’t resist using a few for today’s piece for the 2011 Project.
The 2011 Project is a work by San Francisco artist Tofu. Each day in 2011 he created a 4”x4” mixed media piece. The finished project was made up of 365 smaller mixed media pieces. In 2013 the individual pieces will be distributed to project supporters. The project also acted as sketchbook for new ideas, which continue to be incorporated into new work For more information please visit 2011project.com
