30 minutes of "fame."


I had 30 minutes of local fame today. Woo Hoo! I was interviewed by Tim Bowring on his show: Zero Hour on WRIR (97.3) This is our local indie radio, check it out on-line, it has a live stream you can pick-up. Tim put me at ease and I completely forgot about the big microphone right in front of me. He's an excellent interviewer, really listening, and asking questions that made me think more about what I do as an artist. I talked about Artist Trading Cards, mail art, the art-o-mat, and the RealSmallArt League. I hope that some listeners will become interested in creating some small art themselves. Come on, everyone, make some art!!

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
