If you don’t feel up to doing ICAD, it’s completely understandable.
Please know that I recognize that we are each dealing with different circumstances with respect to the pandemic. Experiment with the materials you have on hand. Ģ021 is the 11th iteration - and I invite you to proactively seek out beauty in the process of making, of taking simple index cards and altering them! You can doodle with magic markers, use alphabet stamps to write haiku with magazine text, paint mini-landscapes, test hand-carved eraser stamps, draw portraits, the possibilities are endless. You might choose to simplify what you create, or shift your expectations to take away any perceived pressure. Remember that art can help in ways that are difficult to describe in words. We inspire each other while we inspire ourselves. I didn’t have any idea whether anyone would be in the mood to do ICAD but we had a record turnout! It was incredibly uplifting to see the colorful art flying! It is comforting to focus on making and sharing what we create with art friends around the world.
