What with email, Twitter, Facebook and all manner of other computer communication things rather taking over the world, the future looks a little bleak for the humble postcard.
Why bother sending a postcard to one person when you could write on someone's wall and let everyone read how bloody great your holiday is?
Well, because now a collaboration between MA Fine Art students at Chelsea College of Art and Design and some leading contemporary artists has resulted in some pretty cool postcard designs.
They're being auctioned off at the ICA on the 13th August and the proceeds go towards the students' MA show. Sounds cool.
