Using a large advertisement postcard put out by the New York State Museum (which shares a building with my organization, the New York State Archives), I wrew a little calliglyph with walnut ink. Actually, I prepared the glyph ahead of time to save time, and I love using walnut ink because of the randomness of its tone and its wonderful nutty scent. This inkglyph is one of a series of visual poems examining how to reorganize the parts of calligraphic letters into new letterforms.

It look very neat and tidy but don;'t you bang your knees on that drawer?
Must be strange. Being in a Hotel with a laptop. No wonder one sends out mail-art in such a place.
You sure are floding my Breda P.O. Box. Thanks for that. I already scanned the first items, and today 3 more arrived.....
In 2 months I should live quite nearby that P.O. Box as well....
