When I used to live in Chicago, they'd say there were two seasons: Winter and July 12. Well, welcome to summer Chicagoans. And welcome all to another great month of blogging here on ephemera. I have so many special summer fun plans. One in particular that I'm very excited about is my upcoming interview post with the Collections Manager at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. We're going to be talking about the new FDR exhibit. But, wait, that's not all. There are other interesting interviews in the queue. And, I'm going to be posting about a number of fascinating topics and featuring some pretty cool, old paper.
This month I've lined up several interviews with artists who use ephemera in their work. I've spoken with several artists--from collage artists to illustrators to crafters--and I'm going to try to feature as many of those interviews as possible throughout the month.
In between those special interview posts, I plan to feature the usual fair--lots of neat old ephemera and a whole bunch of wacky stories, news items, and such from around the world of old paper. There are also a few surprises in store.
Last month, I snuck my first video podcast into a post about Chet's World War Monkeys. If someone else sends me any cool ephemera-related products like Chet did, I might take out the Logitech and do another YouTube epic. Who knows? I might become the next Gary Vanyerchuk. I mean, I'm all about the hustle, right? Seriously, though, Gary is my idol when it comes to online video. If I can find something worthy of broadcast, I'll make one.
