Another little Night Watchaman! These little unexpected guardians keep watch over you whilst hidden in the shadows, or under a darkened leaf. They help protect us in ways we would never see or notice, but do so just the same. 🖤✨.

Commission for a client on Instagram

The United States Postal Service allows you to preview your mail before it is delivered. I took advantage of this feature to create animations from mailed postcards, like a flipbook scanned through the lens of a federal institution. 

It began as an art project with general criticism of government surveillance; these same images of mail are offered by the USPS upon request to almost any law enforcement agency, without warrant. However, in mid August, it quickly shifted towards something much more direct: Criticism of the newly installed, useless Postmaster General, and sincere encouragement to USPS workers to disobey and obfuscate his directives however they may.

Writing advice from my uni teachers:

If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.

Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.

Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.

Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
