The memory of things
30/05/2016
This idea – of memories in objects – is explored beautifully in Anna Smaill’s book The Chimes. You should read it if you haven’t already. It’s so original and a page-turner to boot.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that it’s Winter Zine Fest at Thistle Hall, Cuba Street, Wellington, this Saturday 4 June between 12 and 5. I’m going to be there, selling the first chapter of Mansfield and Me: a graphic memoir if you want to have a sneak preview. Maybe I will also staple up some of my Let Me Be Frank comics – it depends on my finances! Anyway, come and say hi if you’re in town – I’d love to meet you.
LET ME BE FRANK 
Lovely memories
Cool
Nice
These memories were very cool, and I love the illustrations. Did these come from the book you were referring too, or did you sketch these? Either way I really enjoyed this post. 🙂
delightful post.
Reblogged this on basheerabdulwahab.
These are such pleasant memories!❤
Cute illustrations paired with beautiful thoughts. Great post!
Pleasant memories…!
Love the simple illustrations,they catch the eye and the writing looks like a real journal entry. Smells do it for me and songs. I once went to a hotel and used their body wash and memories of a man I once knew flooded back,he used had the same body wash. It was startling but good. Really like your blog.
Great article! 🙂
Nice post, love the evocation of connections through items
Aren’t memories wonderful, they are like road signs on the highway of your life. They enable you to pinpoint events, remember people and provide referent points to navigate one’s mind.
Great post! Made me think of a book I had to read for a course at university called “The Comfort of Things” by Daniel Miller. The book discusses how our identity is formed and expressed by the objects we own, well worth a read!
What a wonderful post. Really made me think. Thank you.
Great post!
I like this a lot. Thanks for sharing this idea – I think of memories held in fragrance and music, but hadn’t really thought about objects. 🙂
creatively done, wow

Lovely.
It’s a similar on Mind Map. I’m learning English in this way 🙂 nice drawing
Beautiful post
This is so beautiful. I’ve also had random memories of people embedded in daily objects (and sometimes the associations are random). I love that you illustrated this.
beautiful article
Sweet memories and cool doodles! 🙂
Very Cool
I love the post, and the original illustration is well done. Very inspiring. I have not read the book you speak of but I think I may intend to do so. Does it at all explore the idea that Other People can read those memories from some of those objects?
AMAZING! your so creative onto your own thinking !
can you please tell me how can i improve here !https://spiritsights.wordpress.com/2016/07/28/reflections/
Brilliant job!!! Happy to find your post. Xoxo
Amazing! Sweet 🙂
Moving…& Soooo familiar…Whenever I hang laundry I also think of M…and when I make tea, I mean liberale Evert time, I relive that very undistinctive moment with T.
It is indeed so familiar! I also really love how you make such a point in such simple down-to-earth drawings. You really set me thinking, you know? Good luck writing further, I will definitely follow your blogs and might read your book one day!
