Can you imagine finding a simple, handwritten postcard and turning it into something that stops people in their tracks? That’s exactly what happened with Inkspoken. When I came across this postcard, it wasn’t just a piece of paper—it was a glimpse into someone’s life. Their worries, their struggles, their love, their everyday moments—it was all there, frozen in time. I knew I had to do something special with it.
The postcard itself is the heart of Inkspoken. Its faded handwriting tells a story:
“Dear Grace and all, mama told us about uncle Lum being sick. Sure, I’m sorry and he is lots better by now. Billy and Shirley are just over the flue, and I’ve been grunting the last few days with my stomach and back…”
These words hit me. They’re so raw and real, reminding me how meaningful even the smallest things can be. So, I took this little piece of history and blended it with my art, creating something entirely new. Inkspoken is more than a postcard now—it’s a masterpiece that bridges the past and present.
What makes Inkspoken so unique is the way it combines old and new. I kept the original handwriting and aged paper tones, but I added layers of texture, muted greens, and abstract forms. The result is a piece that feels like it’s alive—like it has a story to tell. It’s a mix of vintage charm and modern techniques that work together to create something timeless.
When I was working on Inkspoken, every detail mattered. I wanted to make sure that the postcard stayed at the center of the piece, while the textures and shapes brought it to life. The calligraphic strokes and layered designs aren’t just decoration—they’re there to draw you in, to make you feel the emotions behind the words.
This is why Inkspoken resonates with so many people. It’s not just a piece of art—it’s an experience. It connects you to a moment in history while inviting you to reflect on your own stories and memories. Whether you hang it in your living room, office, or gallery, Inkspoken sparks conversations and brings meaning to any space.
