I have a project in mind about how to share my work in terms of feelings as you describe through a series of postcards (I am old-fashioned as well:), and now zines come as an interesting addition or combination or a project on its own. Even if I don't do it, just by reading your post I felt so nice and inspired, thanks so much!
It is always about the soul in art, isn't it? The technique yes, the idea yes, so many things matter, but it's the soul of the artist that you will resonate with or not. A form of magic :)
