Ficus Strangulensis, here is a live link:

Ficus and Alfred Jarry! Pataphysical!!!!!

Dear Panjandrum, I am honoured that Your Booingness remembered our previous postalities and made contact again. Your magnificent selfportrait is already hanging on the Clouds together with the pictures of flowers and electric sheep. I am bowled over by your Usonian flora and fauna; it is out of this world and out of all the parallel ones I know, I feel like taking a trip to Usonia to admire them personally. Likewise I hope Your Strangulation may consider visiting the Queendom, where you shall be most welcome.

PS; Winnie the Poo sends his regards

Fike! Thanks for the beautiful envelope w/ Peony seeds,photos of you, fried soup and the cutup! I love the way you write; kind of like a cross between Herman Melville, Mark Twain and Phillip K. Dick! So glad to here from you! See you in the Mail Man!

Its all about Pataphysics !

Thank you! For the 5 postcards. What a range of techniques (he thinks): fractal, photomicograph(y?), and straight-up photography -- and all very cool, and whether they are post cards are not (they are postcard size) all going in my "L'Art de la Carte Postale' Exhibition.

I'll be mailing you something back soon.

Thanks again & regards, Val

Great package to receive and it is all blogged now here. I particularly love the fractals but I must confess I am not into sci-fi', rather more into science itself, which is even more unbelievable.Nowadays so many great scientists condescend to write for the likes of me, it is great. You may like ' The amazing story of quantum mechanics ' by James Kakalios who uses pulp fiction and sci-fi comics to illustrate the latest discoveries of science.

I always meant to ask, is your photo Edgar Allan Poe?

Thanks for the latest post, great art as always. I went to see what was Medhi's kaleidoscope and found some exciting plugins. And from there some more in other links.  So much to explore.I shall be in touch soon.

Last mail beautiful and serendipital useful, I needed a hibiscus for a little funny book on the Amazonian Jaguar I am writing.How did you know? Big thanks!

Her Majesty would appreciate a white (albino? ) fruitfly if you create one, for her Zoo. This coming February we start the Year of the Horsefly.

Regretably Tom the tomato plant has been euthanasied as he got too big and ugly for the living room. It also stopped producing tomatoes. It was probably exhausted as it produced about 200 cherry toms over all. I was tempted to keep it because I found out tomatoes are perenials really, as an experiment. Probably it would not have been as fructiferous as this past season.

Your work fascinates me completely.I don't understand it - but I'll do a bit of reading about fractals and the fractal explorer program you use before I jump in with stupid questions! 

Fic, count me in on NotSo. Thanks.

Left you a message some time back somewhere enquiring if you had been upstream or downstream of the toxic spill in WVa. Looks like you're still hydrated.

Will be in touch - DVS

Ficus, thanks for fantastic collection of postcards. They are on my blog. I hope to have some time now to create something worthy of posting to you, amy be even a fractal or two? who knows... 

oops forgot to link to the blog

Thanks for your mail art! Love your photographs - and also the fantastic stamps you used!

Not so?

Here's my latest 'pet peeve':

Ficus! thanks for all the mailings. interesting to find out what a ficus strangulensis is and do. It is all on my Front Door Gallery and published in my Photos

http://iuoma-network.ning.com/photo/albums/front-door-gallery

The fractals look so exciting in your photos, better than printed. You can send your postings by email to me, I love electronic mail art. It is time that eArt should be accepted alongside traditional stuff. By the way there is an eMail art group here where they would shine!

Dear Fike,

Thanks for the explanation. I think I'd rather you did it than me.  --Linda

By the way, I love the science of fractals. Should have known there would be artists exploring them, too.  --Linda

Happy Christmas! I haven't heard from you for some time and wonder how you are. Wishing you a greatly creative New Year, buddie!

When I hear anything about fruit flies I think of you. We saw a lecture by Al-Khalili a British scientist which was amazing. This is the link to his paper, enjoy!

Howdy Uncle Fike! Happy to be a part of this site! I just joined last week so it may take a little time to learn my way around.

Thanks for the welcome!

Some juicy postings indeed! Start with our tumblr: rayjohnsonestate.tumblr.com

Will do, (new) ol' Bud! :D

Hi again, Ficus!

you might have forgotten that I sent you this long long ago ...

hi ficus,

good to be getting back in touch.

i don't use IUOMA very much.

actually i don't use anything all that much any more, but i'm probably on facebook more than anything else.

Wonderful! Thank you for joining The Gashlycrumb Tinies Theme. I hope you have a lot of fun! Enjoy and see you in the mail my friend :)
