Okay, so folks, I have to go offline for a week. Hope you'll stay with me & check back for updates after this week.
But wait, before you click out of here, I have something for you. It's a business card I designed for all of us poets. If you are a poet, feel free to copy the image, take it to your nearest Officeworks, have it printed up on glossy paper as a business card and print, or write your details on the back to distribute.
If you are not a poet, let me know in the comments which art-related or creative occupation you'd like to see a business card for.
I forego copyright of this image for this non-commercial personal promotional use for all poets visiting this blog. Only catch: you have to let me know in the comments of this post if you intend to use the card, including, if you can, the country or city you reside in...so I can keep track of it's journey across the world. I hope to eventually be handed one myself one day by another poet. Now that would be cool!
Because poet is one of the greatest occupations on earth, even if only we realise it.
PS. If enough people are interested, I might print a few hundred off myself & sell at cost through this blogsite. Let me know your thoughts.

I will print this out, thank you Maxine!
That is cool. Oh no, where are you going? What are you doing? I will miss you. One whole week? Oh well, I shall spend it cooking up nefarious plans ready for when you come back. A whole week?
You are extraordinary, I'm a poet from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada...I'd love this as a business card, how generous of you to share your vision!
lol Have a great week off ;)
Your visual art is equally as fabulous as your written art. See you when you get back. :)
What a fantabulous thing to do! It's gorgeous. Enjoy your week away :)
Hey Maxine, great to find you here. Next time I see you somewhere I'll come and say hi. You are good, good good, woman!

Nice!
Feel free to add me to your blogroll. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I guess you cant message people on blogger...
Lovely image and even lovelier spirit behind the business card. Enjoy your journey!
Oh Maxine! Seriously dig the colors..The buttons!! Yass, buttoning up my words so my metaphorical pants stay up..here in the good ol' USA, California specifically; one must keep their pants up or ya know, they mnay overturn another equal rights law.
Consider it printed

Yep, not a poet, but love it. More art please.
Is a week up yet?
I am using it. Bangalore, India.
I'm back! Thankyou everybody! Looks like this postcard will really do the rounds. Canada, Bangalore, California, Australia...feel free to forward it and lte me know where you're sending it on to. And thanks for visiting while I was away!
If I was a poet, I'd use this. (USA).
Hope you had a good week Maxine! That business card is sweet.
Thanks Anon.
Graham: Bill-post Queensland with it, hand them out at Speedpoets, keep it in your wallet, wear it on your chest like a badge of honour, paste it over your number plate...or maybe not the last one. Don't really want to be held responsible for inciting criminal behaviour, model citizen that I am & all :)
Very creative and innovative card here. Although I will not use it for my own because I find it creatively unique to you, it has inspired me to create my own. I will print it, if you don't mind...and display it with attribution to you, as it very lovely. I can't help but wonder what each element means to you. Quite conversational. Richmond, VA, USA.
Thankyou Cordie - of course you can print it. The buttons are for healing / mending, the red of the wool for a flare signal / controversy, the style of writing (of the word 'poet') for the history of words, the wool itself for both loss & gain (possibility, I guess) and the textured patterns behind? I just liked 'em. All of this is just afterthought though. I could pretend, but really I just sat down and made the thing! Welcome to my blog.
