Product Description
"A Weird Unfathomable Ordinary Everyday Life" is the lively and colorful record of a three-year correspondence between Bill Bridges, a professional writer and poet, and Dianne Jenkins, a mail- and rubber-stamp artist. Bill and Dianne live in Indiana and Massachusetts, respectively. They are correspondents in an almost 19th century sense-although they know about (and even use) computers and the telephone, this book was produced without a single e-mail or phone call. The result is illustrated with more than 100 pieces of Dianne's art (and a few of Bill's, who had to try his hand occasionally). The letters touch on art, travel, museums, writing, "collecting," Zen meditation, and cooking, among other subjects. As Bill has noted, "We did this for our own delight-but if anyone else wants to come in, they're welcome."

Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | Do you buy strange things at yard sales without knowing what you will do with them? Nov 9, 2009 |
Do you think the art you make is not good enough to show others? Should you make art if no one sees it beyond your family and friends? Are these the questions that crowd your mind when you're trying to be more "zen" and not think?
Do you buy strange things at yard sales without knowing what you will do with them? Do you go to the weird, out of the way museums? Do you collect stuff that no one else would think to collect?
When you read or hear a memorable phrase or slogan, do you wish you could make it into a rubber stamp and stamp it everywhere so you wouldn't forget it?
When you go to your mailbox tomorrow, would you like to find a letter that's like nothing else you've ever seen, that will inspire you do make art, even if you don't think your art is good enough to show others?
If any or all of the above is true, you will love this book of letter after letter that you'll wish you had received. Artist Dianne Jenkins and writer Bill Bridges have generously shared their illustrated correspondence in this beautifully designed book, complete with color reproductions of Dianne's amazing art in more media than you ever thought of as art! Read it and be inspired to make your art, to write your letters, and as one of Dianne's rubber stamps says, to learn that "Giving = Getting." | | | Write your own review about A Weird Unfathomable Ordinary Everyday Life
