"Specimen Rare" Postal Stamps

Making your own postal stamps is as fun as it can possibly get. This one was my first attempt. I took a fake photo booth picture of myself on La PhotoCabine and turned it into a vintage stamp with a "Specimen Rare" label on it.

Trip to Jimbocho

The other day I came back from the "second hand books district" of Tokyo with a stack of vintage books and magazines for less than 20$. I could easily have spend my day in the shops.

Some of them are collectables that I can't afford and would never give a cut with scissors. But, oh my, what a gorgeous place it was!…

Received: Mailart drawing from Kiera Pannell (UK and Quebec, Canada)

August 23, 2010 - Kiera Pannell is producing a series of post-card size drawings at a rate of at least one per day. Many if not all of these concentrate on heads and faces viewed from various perspectives. Perplexed by the identity of these characters I was seeing appear in diverse places, I emailed her and she kindly responded from Prague (she's…

Sent: Grigori Antonin "Big Brother" poster, Antonism cult kit, uncensored Grigster interview

August 19, 2010: After the unprecedented failure of "jade ar" followed by the unmitigated disaster of "decadence of jade ar," I am shamelessly exploiting the Ray Johnson is not dead (and he might be Grigori Antonin, Librarian on the Loose, or Richard Canard) mangled urban legend:
