"Hi, Yes I send out 49 book covers so far and still have not hear from 24 people.  They may still be in shock so we should give them to recover  or re-book cover.    Trashpo is picking up and a few good Road Kills as well. Take…"

"Somewhere there I'd been too. In the vicinity of Monterrey ( and at other locations) we had made wee-breaks. Lawrence Ferlinghetti's cabin should be not far from there. A wonderful road to travel!"

"Sure thing! No doubt about that. One can even see from here on the PC screen how mental communication between the two would be available if there was an urgent need for it at all. Unlike us present day wet people, ain't it?"

"Language was no problem as it found some of its ancestors at Hearst Castle.  However they were about 4000 year old and didn’t have much to say. "

"Of course, Yellowstone! Sorry. Avoiding water, hot or cold, is ok for mummies. Wouldn't do them any good. By the way. How did Mummy get along language-wise in such a strange country?"

"I think the geysers are in YellowStone and we didn't get there.  However, good point.  I don't think your Mummy took a single bath during the whole trip.  But then again we don't know the end of the story yet."

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go

I'm standin' here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn

The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn

Rebecca Guyver: A book, it's your turn now

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 4:45pm 14 Comments

Rebecca Guyver in her younger years was that shy little girl in the back of the class with the horn rim glasses.  Those days have gone, and today Rebecca is an outgoing Mail Artist, painter and artist-educator.  Her work can be found in mailboxes around the world, and I was lucky enough to have one drop into mine.…

Guido Vermeulen: The inner Mirror Part II et hommage à Mme Fourez et the return of Spring

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 3:29pm 6 Comments

     I think I discovered a long time ago that Guido's titles rarely have anything to do with his drawings.  I always thought that this was a great idea and use a similar system sometimes myself.

     One way is to open up a book and use the title of a chapter.  Lately I used "The black spot" from Treasure Island.  Yes one of those books I chopped up.  It was a nice hard cover illustrated one as well.

     Sometime I wish I could draw like Guido.…

Hi Book Worm Dean,  I remember when I first started making altered books, how scandalous and 'wrong' it felt to tear apart, destroy, reinvent books. But I think giving them new life is a great thing to do rather than them end up at a library sale for retired books for a quarter. Thanks for the Wilde mail!!!!

Hey Dean, I recently received some great MA which I thought was from you as there's a "Dean" sticker on it; nonetheless, the stamps are US and you're in France, oui? Is this from you? If so, I love it - thanks!

Otherwise, hope you're well and creative...

Bonjour Dean,

Désolée pour le temps de réponse car je vis desormais au Bénin en Afrique et mes parents m'envoient des photos des MA que je reçois!

Merci Merci!

Bonne journée,

Jeanne

Hi Dean:

Got a very BIG postcard in the mail today from you and LOVED IT!!! Thank you for sending; my favorite thing in the world is opening the mailbox and finding these very cool things from all over the world in there!  Will return the favor soon.

Dean, thanks for the book-postcard; I'm at a loss for words [if only I had a dictionary, hey  . . .]. Made in the air and mailed from here in California none-the-less [postmarked; Oakland, CA]. This one was almost a lost-in-the-mail mail-art piece, the address label was literally placed on top of the card when I opened my mail box, and fell off as I pulled it forward out of the box. Whew, that was a close one.

Hope you're enjoying your trip.
