A spread of letters bound for the United States, addressed in a cursive hand to Wethersfield, Connecticut; Duncanville, Texas; Dallas, Texas; and Austin, Texas.

From a purely aesthetic perspective, some addresses, from a combination of place names and postal codes, etc, are thoroughly unsatisfactory for me to write. Texas in the U.S. happens to be one of them. Ohio might be another. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜…
Connecticut, on the other hand, or Massachusetts: *mwah*๐Ÿ‘Œ

Not a sold original artwork in this case, but my work on a card counts, no? A first for Brazil, I think.

'London, Wednesday 7th February, 24

Dear Martin,

I find myself quite at a loss as to what best to say. I wondered at first whether I should choose from among the innumerable heartfelt quotations about the virtues of letter writing, but I found it impossible to settle on just one that will wholly encapsulate the experience. Each one, much like letters themselves, reveal but one facet of the beauty. But surely, I thought, the very impossibility of the task must speak volumes of how treasured a gift the writing and receiving of letters is. Then I wondered if I could point to the vast historic significance of the United Kingdom's postal services, not least, the revolutionary introduction of the world's first postage stamp, a significance which the present course of actions would seem to betray, were it to continue. But then I was afraid that that must feel like an especially egregious example of teaching Grandmother to suck eggs...'

Everything feels like a cry into the void, and this may be no different. Nevertheless...
