Un nouveau debut/A new beginning

(Alright. I took the plunge, got the blog. Now what?)

Ça y est, je me suis décidée à me faire un blog-cahier de croquis, sans savoir ce que je vais y mettre et avec quelle fréquence... Ceci est donc un avertissement de le prendre comme il vient! Tout ce que je sais c'est que je ne vais absolument pas me contraindre à un format, une langue ou je ne sais quoi. Il sera spontané ou il ne sera pas.

So I've decided to give my blog a new life and finally make it a sketch/art/cartoon blog, although I don't yet know what I'm going to put there or how often. So this is a warning to take it as it comes . All I know is I will not constrain myself to a format, a language or anything. The whole point is for it to be spontaneous, so off we go!

Back in the days when I was causing a stir in the ATC community under the name Alpaca, I put up this article about ATCs that gained unlikely popularity and it still, seemingly, hugely popular. I wanted to turn this into a booklet, but didn't have the steam. I finally did it today:

It's only 16 pages, but it's packed with the basics of ATC making and trading, loads of ideas for mediums and techniques to use, and illustrated with many of my own ATCs printed full-size. It's much nicer to flip through a book, and it's also a great little gift to get for a creative child or someone getting into mail art.
It is available in my Lulu shop.
