is not! is too!

I am repurposing my blog.

Let me tell you a little bit about why it began as notpaper. Sitting over Starbucks one night, my boyfriend (Jory), friend (Adam) and myself decided that we should start an apartment blog (We all live together). We argued for an hour while snacking on delicious treats and sipping our caffeine about what we would call it. We came up with a lot of ridiculous names, all of which I can't remember because they are probably unmemorable. I came up with the name notpaper as a joke, slightly, because the internet is not paper. After no firm objections and repeating the name over and over into the night air as we walked home it grew on me.

After sharing the blog for a few months with minimal entries on all of our parts, I changed it around a little. In a way I feel notpaper was meant for me. I want to do something with it, and still do. I've been paying for the domain for so long because I don't want to part with it! It's my baby and my brand. It's strangely ironic, I know, that the website is called NOTpaper and my favourite medium IS paper. And now I am going to focus mainly on my collage, collage by other artists, and collage techniques. A blog about paper, called not(about)paper. The irony. I love it.
