Accidentally Wes Anderson: The Postcards
Postcardist
I ordered two sets of in July. And then I kept looking at looking at the , anticipating the U.S. release of those cards on October 11. Yes, I knew the date. This was exciting stuff. Guess what? As soon as I saw the postcards I knew I needed two more sets because I used this hashtag when I sent the first ones: #onetosendonetokeep. Yep, for every one I sent I knew I had to keep one.

info_outlineCamilla d'Errico joins me this week on Episode 52 ( a year's worth of shows!) to talk about her pop surrealist art, her love of postcards, and her creative life.
I became fascinated with Camilla's art a couple years ago when I got a pack of postcards that featured her very compelling manga-style art. And that morphed into more and more fascination with her art and her energy.
I'm always dazzled to talk to people who are at the top of their field. To hear their origin story...and their drive to continue to deliver on their artistic gift. And when they're as kind and generous as Camilla is...that's a good day.
I think you'll really enjoy the show. A special hello to the legions of Camilla's dedicated fans who I know will listen to this show. Thanks very much for listening. And don't forget to send Camilla postcards. She likes those in her mailbox.
Here are some links and resources we discussed on the show:
