About this deal

And we decided we are going to go to The Met and we’re going to get there as early as we can. And we’re going to go try and find each and every single one of the art pieces in these postcards. And we’re going to take pictures by them. Both my mom and dad are very faithful Mormons or members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. When I left Guatemala, she was just eleven and she was just a little girl. There is a picture of her just like bawling her eyes out and holding onto me and saying goodbye. She was wearing a brown shirt and I was wearing a pink shirt. I’m so excited and she’s just so sad. I think she understood that I was leaving. Recycled board: For a more craft feel with less colour and detail heavy designs then recycled board is excellent for creating for extending the impact of your visual design, whether you want it to be either quality, vintage, craft or just a damn good postcard. Single or Double? When I think of Melina growing up, I remember all of us sitting around the table and everyone’s just kind of screaming loud and talking and like, blah, blah, blah.

Writing the postcards was a way for both of us to feel love for each other. You know, choosing to be vulnerable, choosing to on purpose, share our lives, choosing to think of each other. Um, that allowed us to grow closer together and kind of share in our struggles, in our victories, and, uh, to celebrate each other. Samy knew Melina was lonely, so he decided to reach out and get to know the person she was becoming. Welcome to Frame of Mind, a podcast from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, about how art connects with wellness in our everyday lives. This week, learn how a collection of one hundred postcards from The Met bridges some lifelong gaps between a brother and sister. New York was kind of this crossroads for me. It’s when life got real, I remember just wanting to give up. And thinking, I don’t think I can do this anymore. I don’t think I can keep doing this. This is too lonely of a path for me. And so I think that kind of helped me be authentic with her. So I would say, “today was difficult, but this thought made me happy.” I remember times when I had to find a reason to write something happy. The front of each card bears one of Morris's Greenaway Medal-winning paintings; on the reverse, you will find an accompanying quotation from one of the spell-poems in the Lost books, as well as identification of the species shown on the card. The remaining space is left blank for you to fill in these wild cards with pen, pencil or paint– and then send them out into the world to make and renew connections.

The things you have learned will guide you and nothing on earth can silence that quiet voice still inside you. And when that voice starts to whisper.” So the postcards became quite popular, actually. Her companions would notice that she would get postcards and they were like, “What are these?” and she would say, “Oh, well, my brother went out to New York to The Met and bought these postcards, and he sends them to me every few days, and there’s a hundred of them, and I have, you know, twenty-something, and I’m just waiting for the rest.” Being alone with my parents, when all my siblings moved out, helped me find my own relationship with my heavenly father. I feel like I had the time, I had my parents to ask questions. Really having prayer in my life and the scriptures have helped me realize that God is there. So, you can really see how we have evolved and all the, you know, trials we’ve faced as humans and I would just walk around and walk around, and it became kind of this good place, you know, to go learn and think about life.

Resell your printed postcards So the very last one he sent me was in the 26th of May of 2018. I was finishing my service as a missionary. One of my favorite movies is, um, Moana. As an immigrant, you know, you leave a place you love to find who you truly are. So it’s just a movie that really resonated with me. Senior producer is Ian Enright. Story Editing from Morgan Springer. Series Illustration by Sophie Schultz. I’m your host Barron B. Bass. A special thanks to our guests on this episode, Samy Gálvez and Melina Anderson Gálvez. Not tall enough to keep him inside, but enough to just guard him, and around it is tons and tons of different types of flowers.And she would always sit right next to my mom and she would whisper into her ear. And then I was like, “Why are you saying secrets? That’s rude. Like, we’re all here.” She was like, “Well, you guys don’t listen to me. She’s the only one who listens to me. Silk board: This is most suitable for high resolution graphics like photos or for general everyday printing. If you’re a photographer then this is probably your best choice. Samy is a person that does things very fast. Everything’s fast-paced in his life. And we spent the whole day at The Met.

We felt like we were new friends. We were new siblings. We found that we had so many things to do together in life. I moved alone. I moved on my own to New York and so all the coming out process, all the exploring who I am, and becoming who I am was kind of a process that happened independently from my family. I think there was a time when I spent four years without seeing any of them in person. Anyone who’s moved to New York has been lonely. I mean, it really can eat you up sometimes.I think that sending the postcards not only helped him, but it also helped me, like it helped both of us. If you are an artist then you might want to provide a way of getting your artwork into more hands that can’t afford original artwork. Postcards are a perfect way of doing this because they provide your customers with an option of displaying your artwork in a small frame or even by itself. Not to mention that you can also make a sizeable amount of profit per a postcard in the process. Use them as event swag They’ll be like, “Oh, what did he send today?” I think one of the most beautiful ones is the unicorn in captivity. It’s a tapestry. I really like it because it’s this beautiful unicorn, something that might’ve, or might’ve not existed. It can be images, it can be paintings, gestures, or things that really mean a lot more sometimes than words. Because people can say whatever they want, but once they’ve expressed it, somehow, that expression is embodied forever in this thing. So it can be a little more powerful than just a word that will fade through time...

We don’t talk about religion that much, but when he sent me those postcards, I think he was writing from a perspective that he had already served a mission and the things that helped him through his mission. So I think it helped me know he’s been there, he’s done this, and so can I. I had never had a chance to even get to know her. And I felt like I didn’t really know who she was. And I saw at The Met Store that they have these collections of one hundred postcards. One hundred masterpieces at The Met. And when I saw that, I said, “Eureka! This is it!” The front of each card bears one of Morris's Greenaway Medal-winning paintings; on the reverse, you will find an accompanying quotation from one of the spell-poems in the Lost books, as well as an identification of the species shown on the card. The remaining space is left blank for you to fill in these wild cards with pen, pencil or paint - and then send them out into the world to make and renew connections. Read more Details I felt like I was really changed while I was in my mission, by the people, by the adventure, by every single postcard Samy sent, and he has built me into the person I am today. And also words of encouragement or words of telling me, “I am proud of you. Your whole family’s proud of you.” It’s just very important to hear, you know?Oh, I found it. It’s this one. It’s a Ganesha statue, which is like an Indian God that controls all obstacles. And he added something that says, “Sometimes we pray so that the obstacles may be taken away in our lives. But I feel like God rarely takes away obstacles. Usually what he does is give us the strength to overcome them. Keep this card because there’s a hundred of them. With love, Samy.” What you want to do with your postcard will vary so there will be no one single right or wrong way of doing things, but there is certainly a case for always putting something on both side of your postcards.
