Description:

Art doesn’t come from nowhere. We are all influenced by those who have gone before us. For this swap let’s make postcards paying homage to CHARLES BUKOWSKI, a poet whose work shows us how to go beyond the ordinary.

Make and send one handmade postcard for two partners. All media welcome. This is an international swap.

Let’s attempt to channel this crazy spirit and make some unconventional, unorthodox, eccentric, idiosyncratic, outré, strange, bizarre, weird, peculiar, odd, outlandish, out of the ordinary, Bohemian, alternative, zany, quirky, wacky, freaky, way-out, off the wall, kooky, oddball art.

Since this isn’t about your partners profile, you can start creating your cards right away. Visit your bookshelf or library and brush up on Chuck.

Did you know that they just designated his little bungalow in Hollywood as a landmark in his honor?

I've just finished my postcard. It's a digital design so I am going to send one to everybody. It's totally cool that we have this many swap-botters that appreciate Bukowski. A toast to you all :)

Wow, everyone sent their cards! Who knew that fans of Bukowski would be such a reliable bunch. Thanks for joining this "out there" swap.

gloriouslyhorrid didn't get a postcard from gummie. :(

I did receive a postcard from gummie for this swap, although it didn't reference swap-bot or the theme. It took me a while to figure it out.

I hope everyones else is happy!
