I wonder if there might be enough interest in Gyotaku, Japanese fish printing, to have a group or maybe a sub-group of Ruud Janssen's Rubber Stamping group?Y'r ol' Bud, FikeContinue

"I'm nearly certain that this used to be text and drawings from a patent. I don't know how it got THIS way but suspect it suffered innacuracies during xerography."

"another cutup: source text 'held' in Corel Photopaint, target assembled in Corel DRAW, then exported as a JPG. READ AND OBEY!"

Ficus strangulensis commented on MISS NOMA's group ThE/ CuT-UP/ TecHNiQUE/

"Here's one constructed over a JPG image scanned from a Rita McNamara envelope. Too much stuff over the beautifully asemic image but it shows that one can paste lines over the image in Corel DRAW."

"here's another, this time using GIMP as the pot full of "wisdom" where bits selected are dipped up and put into a window of Corel DRAW v9"

Ficus strangulensis commented on MISS NOMA's group ThE/ CuT-UP/ TecHNiQUE/

"I should've been more forthcoming about what I want from a digital cutup method. 1) allow me to put text lines onto a pre-existing ['stolen'] image. 2) allow repositioning after first importing lines of text. 3) would be nice if it…"

Ficus strangulensis commented on MISS NOMA's group ThE/ CuT-UP/ TecHNiQUE/

"Ok, trying again, this time from one instance of Corel Photopaint v9 to another. I mention the version because it is old, Old, OLD and the newer ones you may use might not behave the same."

I guess I do. Or at least, that's wot the clicky-button said on the previous page. from which [by clicking] 'I' got 'here'. [virtually].

Currently [re]reading all of William Gibson, at least the novels and a wonderful read he is! Taking a break with Thomas M. Disch's "334" over these past few nites, charging up the ol' memory B4 lites out each eve. Richard Brautigan awaits also.

If you like to use old US postage on your mail art envelopes...

Posted on October 4, 2014 at 5:01pm 0 Comments 0 Favorites

Karl Anderson's a good source who I've used for several orders over the past few years.

His current list and very detailed information on requirements for ordering from him are found at:

http://www.andersonstampandcoin.com/Pricelist.pdf

Currently, he is selling mint US 3-cent stamps from the 1940's-50's for very little over face value.
