ArtAtomic Newsletter October 2021

Helloooo....it's been a while since I've sent out a newsletter. But there's lots going on, and I'm overdue to send out an update.

I'm delighted to say that we've exceeded our funding goals, and I've started the process of having the candy made.

There are still 5 days left on the campaign, so you should jump in now if you're interested in the project.

I've added a bunch of fun add-on rewards...lots of my art, including silk scarves made from my chemistry inspired generative art.

I'm starting to experiment with creating temporary tattoos from my daily #inkyDays drawings. The first batch is using of the drawings I used in my most popular sticker.  They're currently available through my Cell Biology Candy Kickstarter.
 

So, the USPS has announced that the 'new plan' goes into effect this Friday. All mail delivery will be slowed down, and prices are going up. It's a disaster! And unnecessary!

Here's a map of what expected delivery times will be from west coast to east coast (via @7im):

My own small data set shows that things can get even worse in various locations, regardless of 'zones'.

I'd very much like to collect more data, and that requires more folks to sign up and tell me when their letter gets to them.
