Hello ✏️
Welcome to my newsletter, which I have thoughtfully titled, ‘A Newsletter from Rob Hodgson’.
I’ve been meaning to do this for several years, and a bunch of people have already signed up, so thank you, and if you are just reading this, please feel free to join along.
Whatisit?
I’m gonna use this newsletter mainly as a way to inform folks about new books / projects / prints on the horizon.
And, I want to share some other thoughts and things, and open this whole art making process out a little bit.
I just came across this idea yesterday, stigmergy, which is a behaviour ants have where they leave clues for other ants to pick up and carry on with their work and ideas. Maybe that’s what art is, really? We’re all just passing along ideas to the next person to pick up and do something else with. So my hope with this newsletter is to share a bunch of stuff I’m thinking about and maybe you can share some thoughts back. Maybe sharing the word 'stigmergy’ is a stigmergic thing to do.
Don’t worry, I’m not planning on sending too many newsletters out, maybe once a month or so, and only when I have something really important to sell say 🤠.
Over and out! Thanks as ever! ✌️
