DVS--thank you for your friend offer. I am very impressed with "Vertical Thoughts" and am grateful for your careful documentation of this masterful art work. Your efforts help to keep us all on the path of creative growth.
Hi DVS--thanks for stye thumbs up on my mono print. This was my first experience with a Gelli-plate for printing and I was rewarded with some interesting effects.
The postcard I mailed you has two stamps stamps you can pick from. . . you'll receive a second post card with a third stamp. Let me know which one you want. You can email me.
See you in the mail BF
oh thanks for poining them out, I missed them, I cannot get my mind away from the lovely sweet sewer rats, they are as big as otters. We haven't got anything like that here.
I'm a night manager at a strip club. . . the photo was taken on the roof of the building next to the club. Got busted by the police a couple of years ago. . . he just gave us a verbal warning. Rick
Some prude is screwing with us. I have pictures of Mina that would shock the shit out of them. Was the picture Moan Lisa posted more shocking then my picture of Mina??? Rick
DV thanks for the ma. I am inspired by your piece with the fringe from spiral bound notebook paper. Is there a real name for that stuff? I hate the fringe on it's own but in art it is a different story. Looking forward to more exchanges. Thanks again.
I mailed your stamp today, should arrive on Friday or Saturday. . . sorry about the delay. The rubber has baby powder on it, rinse well and apply to backing and apply that to a wood block. . . enjoy. Rick
07.11.14 Dare DeVillo S.,...it's absolutely amazing what we so-called artists don't really see..or is because we've all seen this image a hundred times & are not really looking???...i.e. You're right!" Cows don't have six legs"....& now that you mention it,...are those 5 more available spaces between the cow's legs...er.." 6"...counting that tiny space in front of the lower part of the tail????...& dare I mention...the horns, the ear & the nose?..or am I beginning to split hairs? Thanx for your habitual awareness & tolerance. Richard C.
I have a couple of questions about something you wrote:
Definitely, it would be considered mail-art. Many - including established veterans - are doing digital collage. Mike Dickau in CA and RCBz in Minn. come to mind right away. Most of Moan Lisa's vispo is digital.
The questions are, firstly, how long must one be in the Mail Art community before one become a 'veteran', and, secondly, by what process does one become 'established'?
That makes me feel better, I have a habit of not putting my return address on my envelops
I asked them to hand stamp. . . safer that way. Happy Stamping Rick
I got as far as getting one hit on the link I sent you, but if you need to go further, I think the site asks for joining, with money involved. So I haven't seen anything, just assume it is there. Very mysterious circumstances. I was in Bexar County yesterday on business and was thinking about it.
I make little books all the time, some themed, some not. Usually use about !/2 junk material --junk mail, scraps, paper bags -- that kind of thing. But I don't know if my things qualify as 'boekies'. Mostly they just make me happy. --Linda
My buddy set up his camera. . . when the crowd thinned out Shay and I climbed into the Nativity Scene at our City Park. Shay couldn't stop laughing. They have security so we had to time things just right. Glad you enjoyed it. . . you were the first to receive one. Your Pal Blessed Father Rick

You want to know.....so ,even if my knowleldge in your langage is poor ,I try to explain...
1 I don't understand " aka" , and the following "Dick,,, Bidet " Is it derision? why ?
2 I never say that I received trash mailart ,never ! I don't permit me !
But may I prefer the piece of mailart in one unit , and to say it?
3 I do not have any jugement on the work of every one !It always a great pleasure to receive all kind of mailart...at any level of art , prof or not !
4 Finally, tell me what is the advantage to send photocop to people ?what is your point of wiew of old mailartist ?
I try to use right words ,but I am not sure. Excuse me !
