NY Lyric Postcard Project & The 1000 Journals Project

A friend recently sent me a link to the NY Lyric Project: http://nylyricproject.tumblr.com.  It's an interesting idea where a fan submits a lyric to the artist and an old (or new?) postcard is sent back to the fan with the lyrics hand-written on. Although I am moving away from working with postcards specifically, I appreciate how others are collaborating with strangers and using the postcard itself as a platform for exchange.

This also reminds me of San Fransisco based artist "someguy's" The 1000 Journals Project: http://www.1000journals.com/

"The 1000 Journals Project is an ongoing collaborative experiment attempting to follow 1000 journals throughout their travels. The goal is to provide a method for interaction and shared creativity among friends and strangers."

If interested, there's a documentary on this project, here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klnFtLGrKWU
