YOU ARE NOT HERE
Oh Eight… …maybe you are
And you may find yourself over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house you go driving through McCleary in Grays Harbor County.
Perhaps you’re taking your bike off the train in PDX down to visit Steve in Multnomah County.
Maybe you’re reconnecting with a high school girlfriend, having coffee in Lake Oswego -you know bro- that’s in Clackamas County.
And you may ask yourself
Well, how did I get here?
What would you do if I sang out of tune? I mean what would you do with a huge stack of old USGS maps? Pennies on the dollar at UW Surplus. I snagged two off the top of the pile. Spending $1 and then spending my Saturday morning, creating these 10 postcards. One More One Less ONEWAY or Another one-of-a-kind hand made scraps of cardboard in Rainier Beach.
I don't have any high school girlfriends in Lake Oswego. But I do have an old school appreciation for maps printed on paper, much like my old school appreciation for postcards.
The Grays Harbor County card is on its way to Gramma Judy in Aberdeen. The SE Rip City grid is on its way to Steve in NW PDX. The colorful Clackamas mashup is on its way to Wamsley, who as those in-the-know know, knows a thing or two about maps. The seven other cards may find their way to you two and you two and you two too some day, plus or minus one.
Cheers to old school arts & crafts
Cheers to dot-a-lot dimensional craft paints
Cheers to the solstice
