I’ve been reading Luis Mendo’s Mundo Mendo, Book One, which I have been really loving. At its very core, it’s a visual blog given form. He is of course an incredibly talented artist but the reflections and writing is in the style of a personal site, given form as a tiny little book that I get to carry with me in my jacket pocket.
This has lead me to putting the phone away on my commute to and from work and really just immerse myself in this ‘eccentric’ Spanish artist living in Japan.
This has got me thinking that a similar format for my short stories might be a really good fit. 50 words per A6 page, add some art or photos or sketches or whatever. It’s a new format for people wanting to disconnect from their phones.
