Test Tower (1953-2018)

Information

Received this news today (19-1-2020) from Jack Latteman:

Dear mail art friends,

Several mail artists have asked me recently what has happened to Test Tower, also known as Ron Stenberg, who most recently lived in Chehalis, Washington, USA, about 30 miles from Cascadia Artpost in Olympia. Thanks to updated research from mail artist Kathleen McHugh, I sadly report that Ron passed away at home on April 27, 2018, after several years of illness. We last saw Ron in fall 2014. Those of us who attended Ex Postal Facto in San Francisco in February 2014 will continue to hold fond memories of Ron who shared a table with Cascadia Artpost at the Saturday public event. His mail art as Test Tower will always be remembered as a unique contribution to the Eternal Network.

~ Jack Lattemann, Cascadia Artpost

Test Tower was a very active IUOMA member and this group was made to share our thoughts and create a place to remember him. May he rest in Peace.

Welcome to Heebee Jeebeeland

When I was a kid, there was an old cartoon I saw many times on TV. While a child was sleeping, the unusual wallpaper all over his room came to life and began to dance back and forth, up and down in a rather fanciful symmetry accompanied by a sort of goofy graveyard mischief music. All manner of mayhem went on until the sun shone again at dawn and the dancing pranksters rushed back to their original spots and the wallpaper became still again. It is in the vicinity of that realm that Heebee Jeebeeland exists.
Please send Mail Art that needs to live here and be shown on this blog.
