![]() Made in Humboldt fair: You can find my calendars, prints and boxed notecards at the “Made in Humboldt” event at Pierson Garden Shop in Eureka, CA from Tuesday, Nov. Registration is full but you can sign up for the Seabeck waiting list the organizers hope to make room for more participants. Seabeck Haiku Getaway: I will be giving a reading of my haiku and presenting my new collage haiga (art with haiku) at this annual gathering, which is being held on Zoom this year. Please let me know your thoughts on the new collection, and enjoy! In adapting to the pandemic, we are all having to gather bits and pieces from our old lives, then transform and rearrange them in unexpected ways. My collages, using discarded materials such as old letters and canceled checks as well as hand-painted washi papers, may be a fitting medium for this strange, disjointed time. ![]() So order soon to be sure to get enough for yourself and for holiday gifts! Consequently, I have printed 100 fewer calendars than usual. I’m not able to do any in-person holiday fairs this year, and some of my retailers are seeing reduced sales during this pandemic. Arriving next week, these mini-calendars feature a dozen of my new collages along with original haiku. This is my eighth year of producing these-and my favorite yet. ![]() I’m also very happy about my new 2021 calendar of art and haiku. I’m excited to share my new designs for the holidays, birthdays, sympathy and more. To sneak a peek at the new collection, see this page of all my Makino Studios card designs. These new cards should be back from the printer on Monday. I was genuinely uncertain whether this big shift in style and technique would appeal to my longtime fans and customers.īut based on your enthusiastic responses, I have gone ahead and designed a line of fifteen new greeting cards based on my collages. First of all, I want to thank everyone who responded to my last post ( Big Changes in the Studio), where I shared my new artistic direction creating Japanese-inspired collages.
