Received from Gabby Cooksey

This little piece initially had me stumped.  It measures 5" x 3.5" and I was scared to try to open it.  So I carefully cut the tape holding it closed and got one end open. 



Inside I found this adorable little monster yelling HEY and on the other side this fluffy little sheep.

Mail From Austin Wills James

THIS IS EXCITING!

Austin has sent me many works over the last several months.  He developed a beautiful signature style that is all his.

But I received a piece yesterday from Austin and it blew my feeble mind!  A rainbow of high intensity colors all mixing together!

And the piece has scrawled across it (with bright orange), "PAY ATTENTION".  The whole piece is alive and pulsating.

I love this path your on Austin.  Yes, I promise to PAY ATTENTION.  Thanks much…

A Blog for Julian Grant - Pupa Mask - The World is a Town Contribution

Mail Art received first week January 2011.

So here's the thing.  You DONT want to meet a chrysalis like this.  But, whats the point of a pupa? To change -  to move from one form to another. In Julian's World Town I'm guessing that people could be born in Pupa's :-)  And, living in Africa means I get an immediate connection to masks. This takes me to Picasso's 1906/07 period too, where he was influenced by African masks and Iberian sculpture. Julian is America, and Picasso was Spanish…

Process for Mailart #017 - "Zabeth"

I took some step-by-step photos of my painting/drawing process for Mailart piece #017. I thought I'd share them here.

I started with tracing paper over a photo. I knew I wanted three different colors: a pale brown, a darker brown, and blue for the sky. I drew the borderlines that would delineate each area.…
