There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh ink on paper; it makes me nostalgic for the first day of school.
I got that feeling just the other day when I opened up a hot off the press copy of the spring 2012 arts calendar. The cover is a detail from Notes from Elmina III by Radcliffe Bailey. I love the way that the piece combines painting with found objects and sheet paper.
A friend’s copy arrived in the mail today; I guess the Brookline post office is more efficient than Boston.
