    Got bad mail from you today, mixed with great stuff. To be honest I like the bad art quite a bit, but the "good" art was much gooder. I'll send something to you later in the week.

    Hmmmmmm, I can see above that you sent me something that looks great. I'm not going to open your blog post about it and read the rest, I want the surprise, so I'm trying very hard to leave this page. Very tempting though, arggggg....

    Karen,
    I received your collage! It's funny because last night I was reading an article about Kurt Schwitters and today I have this very Schwitteresque piece in my mailbox. Thank you.

    check out the article about him in the current NY Review of Books...I never knew that much about him...interesting character...an art movement unto himself...(much like the rest of us, I guess).

    yes, Santo said the Cubs kept him alive. He suffered from diabetes since 18! I wish he could have seen the Cubs win the World Series. I wish I can see the Cubs win it! My aunt in Chicago is a amazing Cub fan and she is waiting...she is 93 this year!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Once a Cubs maniac, always a Cubs maniac! I used to cut classes at Loyola U. and go with a few classmates to see a game...I think there were no night games because no lights! :-) I am still always eager to hear how da Cubs are doing. Now with internet, it is so easy!

  • Marie Wintzer

    It's not particularly dark in nature, but I could easily make another, tapping into that portion of my Gemini psyche.

    Well, I see some dark clouds on my mental horizon; so it'll probably strike sometime today. =)

    Dark & twisted is more than just gross & disgusting.

    serial killers are fine...I watched Bundy fry...

    KC,

    Just finished that Dark card you wanted. I figured anything inspired by the My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult's song "After the Flesh" would qualify as at least semi-dark =). It's going out with Saturday's mail.

    How about historical mass killers & artifacts?

    Dec 12, 2010

  • Bifidus Jones

    Thanks for the kind words. Did you get a lot of snow?

    Dec 12, 2010

  • Bifidus Jones

    Yeah, we got hammered. I was supposed to go to the Vikings game to watch them hammer the NY Giants but the Metrodome where they play collapsed early this morning. There was no mail delivery yesterday and there might not be any tomorrow (a mail art junky's nightmare, believe me) either since a lot of streets in St. Paul haven't been plowed yet. A good time to make more mail art! Take care, Bifidus

    it's all good

    Thank you! I hope 'After the Flesh' was 'Dark' enough.
