Congratulations Ruud - this series you posted in the summer helped me and it looks like hundreds of other people understand how mail-art and the web work together. A great day for the IUOMA.

When I tried to explain Minor students at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam the concept of Mail-Art I was talking for almost 2 hours and showed lots of slides (they actuually are published in a book that is available).

After the lecture I tried to figure out if they grasped the conceot. That wasn't that easy...... So learning takes time to absorb the process.

Any specific questions, just ask....

Well, to say it in the wrong place at the wrong time: I get starstruck when it comes to you and Litsa. Even if some would argue, you are Fluxus to me - which represents a huge gigantic thing. So OK if I learn? I mean, mailart is part of it. I know you have a group discussing that. I'm a moron. But I arrived here at your door.

And anyway, I have a lot to learn. I'm enrolled in one of your classes. I need to take more.

After some more colours the next one will be ready tomorow I hope. I work on several drawings all the time. That way I am quite productive, when a few lie to dry some new ones are started. Always with a fresh view I start on the next fase of a drawing....... So expect something new tomorrow...

Working on more. Just be patient. I work with indian ink, and even in hot Athens, it still needs time to dry. The waterecolours I use are russian ones. Actually bought them in St. Peterburg (then called Leningrad), and I bough so much then that I have enough for decades. The colours are very good (and expensive too, but that is always the case when one wants the best).

Looking more now that I've had coffee. All the Higgins charts - and I know he was not the only one to do it - are in black and white. The color adds a lot. And I see it as being more circular at core. This is a riot. "What is this?" - the notes you add. Can't wait for more.

Whith reactions like these there is bound to be more. Making scheme's and charts is fun. Structuring the things is something quite human.
