To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. customized logics. mail art is a good feeding ground for 'researchers'. i can't stop smiling. i like your stamps very much! irony is a good philosophy's tool.  it's ok not to know all the answers. cheers

uh, yes Brecht is a player in my life. And in my stamp art:

Frogging, Sampling, Plagiarism guide

Brecht's first full-length play, Baal (written 1918), arose in response to an argument in one of Kutscher's drama seminars, initiating a trend that persisted throughout his career of creative activity that was generated by a desire to counter another work (both others' and his own, as his many adaptations and re-writes attest). "Anyone can be creative," he quipped, "it's rewriting other people that's a challenge."

What is originality? Undetected plagiarism. Dean Inge  Plagiarism

Blaster Al Ackerman is the most commonly used name by an American mail artist and writer born as William Hogg Greathouse. Ackerman had been active various subcultures since the early 1970s. He died on March 17th, 2013, in Austin, Texas. His latest book entitled "Misto Peas: Tiny Special Stories", was published in 2009 by Luna Bisonte Productions. The book contains COUNTERFEIT, convergent evolution, resemble, SAMPLINGS, reworkings or "hacks"

of poet John M. Bennett's writing. He read most recently from this new book at Shattered Wig Nite hosted by Rupert Wondolowski at Baltimore's 14 Karat Cabaret in November 2009.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

Heavily influenced by post-war pulp writers like Theodore Sturgeon, Raymond Chandler and Fredric Brown (with whom Ackerman corresponded as a young person) as well as by modernists like Ray Johnson, Francis Ponge and the Oulipo, the name Al Ackerman is a pseudonym most likely alluding to the Science Fiction editor and collector Forrest J. Ackerman.

Al Ackerman's writing has dealt playfully, if obsessively, with themes of madness and weird phenomena. His visual work is also in the tradition of black humor, often including a trademark character, the hebephrenic, with a wide upper lip and two protruding teeth.

I thought this stamp a poor effort, but now you have opened my eyes to its rich possibilities

When I made this stamp I wasn't sure I liked it. But now I really do.

I'm sure we have pirates: that's part of today's stamp. Most piracy happens in petty crimes, like shop lifting and cheating. Children don't get what they need, health benefits are stolen by corporations, or maybe just he parents. Taxes? that's piracy by authority. Jobs are stolen, and who is responsible?

Oh there are ostrich people living everywhere. Especially those who maintain the sewers, cellars and subways of California. Myth
Ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they're scared or threatened.

How It Started
It's an optical illusion! Ostriches are the largest living birds, but their heads are pretty small. "If you see them picking at the ground from a distance, it may look like their heads are buried in the ground," says Glinda Cunningham of the American Ostrich Association.

Why It's Not True
Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand—they wouldn't be able to breathe! But they do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for their eggs. Several times a day, a bird puts her head in the hole and turns the eggs. So it really does look like the birds are burying their heads in the sand!
