I believe David Stafford has special powers.

I want to have words that describe how amazingly perfect and perfectly me this mail art from David is…but I don’t have the words that will do it justice. Here is what I can say…. This absolutely perfect piece of mail art features…my love, the vintage couch! Wait… there is more….with three hilarious illustrated couch rides! But wait….there’s more! Vintage newspaper article…Chicago Daily News re: a WGN radio commentator plans to retire at 35 in Arizona! Why is this so perfectly me??? I grew up…

SHREDDED DOLLARS FOR THE HAPTIC WEREWOLF

Posted by Erni Bär on January 31, 2012 at 4:30pm 9 Comments

My most faithful mail art sender has been too generous this time and added kind of sliced US dollar bill parts to her haptic card that arrived today. Cookie queen Katerina did this to me and I'm as delighted as amused. Should I be able to organize a mail art exhibition someday her work would definitely be of major importance. Thank you muchly, Kate!…

Great Print from LMF

It was so good to hear from Lesley and I love this print she did on a doilie. The message was written in a circle on the back. The face is sad and I would imagine this is a reflection of the difficulties she is experiencing at this time. So glad things are better though. Thank you…

I received mail from Thom Courcelle and Ruud  Janssen in the same week. They seem tied together in some way – so Thom – your work has informed the meaning I have ascribed to Ruud’s new FLUXUS word.
