ContactLinks Off Thee Wall is a writing and drawing process blog that began as a collaboration between illustrator Lyndsey Lesh and Michelle Meyering, editor of The Rattling Wall, a literary journal.
The Concept:
The idea for Off Thee Wall came about in late 2011 when Lyndsey was asked to create original artwork for The Rattling Wall, Issue 2, and she quickly realized that she wanted to contribute her own writing to the conversation. Lyndsey asked Michelle to choose one sentence from each short story, travel essay, and poem published in the issue, for a total of thirty-five sentences, and sent them to Lyndsey. Using each sentence as inspiration, Lyndsey is writing thirty-five flash fiction stories and pairing them each with an original illustration. Off Thee Wall is a collection of the original sentences and the stories and artwork that sprung from them.
Many of these drawings and stories were displayed at the gallery opening of Lyndsey Lesh: The Art of The Rattling Wall at Synchronicity Space that was held in Los Angeles on April 14, 2012.
