Free Art Frees Art Work on Holiday

Spending some time in a retirement community visiting my mother. There's some morning time to work on my free art, but not much space, so I make 4x6 cards and little 16-page booklets that I learned how to fold from Edgeworth Johnstone, @jompiy. I make the card with watercolor pencils before dawn and doodle on the booklet sheet of paper while chatting with my mom on her patio. Later on, I slide a 4x6 card with QR code glued to the back, into a plastic casing, along with a booklet. I'll hand these out with other free art in the near future.

I watch what @jompiy is doing and am amazed at the effort he puts out as the Camden Market Free Art Man. I also understand his recent desire to make and record music and work on more Blond cards when he gets to Thailand in November. I have a lot I'd like to work on this summer, and I'll be writing up an explanatory post about it soon. Let's just say I want to experiment again without the internet. I want to live more on the outside to give my inside a rest. Detach the devices from my life. Put them in a box and have Rose hide them for a few months. Meanwhile I'll continue making these cards for a few more days, then remodel my studio to welcome an easier winter than the last one. The space was offering more of a tomb than a light in the dark. I want a design I can live in. No more coloful coffins!
Thanks for watching.

Here is my mother's first short film, with a jump scare!

Minimising computer time is something I'm focussing on too. The Camden videos are going on YouTube with far less editing now, which is one small step in the right direction.
