Mickey’s Postcard
They say that form follows function and I suppose that's true. Most mail is rectangular for easy machine handling, but for me the function is just the three elements of the postcard: two addresses and a stamp. Most people have a fourth element, content, but I've been letting the materials do that talking lately. This way I'm guaranteed to get a phone call where I'm asked, "OK, I got it... does it do anything?"With the three elements providing the constraints I formed an amoebic connection between them and got rid of the rest. Why take the emphasis away from them? It's better to imagine that they each have their own equal weight in this world and the rest can fall away for all they care since it's their intertwined nature that determines their group fate.
As an unintended result, the finished piece is comfy to hold in your hand. You almost want to start glopping some paint on it to work on your masterpiece. Now if only my favorite paint applicator was a brush instead of a spraycan that might be the case. Or maybe this is a good time to start, who knows?
NOTE: The name is a bit wrong. This was never meant to rekindle memories of Walt's brilliant creation. It just kinda happened even if the proportions are wrong for the little guy.
