BANANAS

 AKA Anna Banana Appreciation Band (ABAB)

The theme is Bananas & Anna Banana.  Many of our members are « bananas » themselves, others are »fruity », a few are « nutty », and one is completely « ape ».
If you are none of these, don’t worry we can help you with specially designed projects and exams for your progress to the banana status you deserve.
We will also explore the many works of Anna Banana as we give appreciation for involvement in Mail Art & "Art".
PS I you are « crackers » or « loony », this group may not be for you.
Also: see link and fill in the form and return it to Anna Banana!

Oh Sorry, I thought that was your bedroom and not a Banana Museum.  Well the Banana Museum is now on my list of things to see, but I'm afraid it is after the train museum in Hamburg.

You two are surely Bananas.  Where do you get this stuff?  I like the photo of Erni's bedroom!

Great come back Erni, you amaze me.  Very funny.

And go shoppingon a 'long' Saturday?

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on March 26, 2012 at 7:28am

Let me guess, Janine has really gone Bananas!  And Erni as well with his Anna Banana stamps.  What is the world coming to when Germans and Swiss go bananas?   Does this mean that you can now wash and hang out your clothes on a Sunday?

It is Freudian symbol-laced tale of madness-not a happy ending. My imagined bananafish (double-phallic symbol) goes on and survives in my world as sculptures, Mail Art, etc-in a surreal, existential, pop-funk kind of way...

More Mike, More Mike, and then what happens to them?  Great story, scary in fact, might we be related somehow?

Very good bananafish sticker, Mike Dickau. I remember that story. And the dominoes with banana--it just does something for me in a big way though I don't know why. Just does.

This is what the 3-D version looks like (the piece is called: "A Hot Day for Bananafish"):

This is one of my first Bananafish stickers. I created the character as tribute to J. D. Salinger's short story "Perfect Day for Bananafish" in 1976 first as sculpture and later as a graphic for my Mail Art:


This is an excerpt from the story:
