E.F. Higgins III (1949-2021)
Information
It is my sad duty to let folks know that Ed Higgins of DooDa Postage Works has gone to the big perforator in the sky. His sister Ginny just called to let me know.
Ed and I met in 1976 and proceeded to correspond almost every day for the next 10 years. We used to haggle over who was the king of artistamps, I said it was him and he argued it was me (lol). Now I can proclaim, it is true, Higgins was and still is the undisputed heavy weight champion of stamps!

Higgins later attended the University of Colorado to receive his BFA and then went on to receive an MFA in 1976 from the same school, majoring in Painting and Printmaking. In the same year, Higgins left for New York City where he currently resides and works as a professional artist. He is a member of The Rivington School.

By JOHN DRURY, December 2021
Edward Higgins III died last week.
As sole proprietor his infamously ingenious Doo Da Post, Ed would religiously strap on his messenger’s bag each day when departing the tiny Ludlow Street apartment that he inhabited for forty-five years - that the space where he both lived and produced his paintings, and the sheets of stamps that he lovingly sleeved and bound in a three-ring binder…that then, stashed inside the courier’s accoutrement. Ed Higgins, like so many idiosyncratic makers marching to the beat of their own proverbial drummer - not the increasingly common makers of faddish or pre-meditated folly in pursuit gallery or collector embrace - was thus, not easily categorized.

Winter of 1979-1980 (can't remember what month it was) I attended my very first mailart congress. That's a young Ed HigginsII in front.
