A house in the sky: a memoir
(Audio CD)
Maybe some of you remember we used to have a series a loooong time ago on the blog featuring illustrators and postcard makers? We loved those posts… but the interviews were really time-consuming to put together, and we don’t do them very often. Recently, postcrosser Clarisse Hart (aka CStar9) reached out and offered to interview some artists they admired for their blog, and we were super excited at the prospect of being able to publish these on the Postcrossing blog too, so that the community could learn more about these fantastic artists!

I go back and forth between typing and using a track-pad with my left hand and drawing with a Logitech pencil with my right. Ergonomic stuff that I’ve learned over the years, to protect those joints!
And next to all that is a laptop that’s playing the Great British Bake-off. So, there’s a lot going on.
