Jay sent me this space cadet meets Southwestern basket mash up. There's no way he could know this but it just so happens that I have been raiding a comic book site called Comics Plus and trundling home like a overburdened bumble bee with all these wonderful comic book downloads (what a horrid word. It sounds like someone taking a shit). The…

Marie's work does not always lend itself to the scanner and this piece is particularly delicate. It's like trying to scan a dragon fly in flight. I'm speaking of the upper left quadrant here. It's a primitive kaleidoscope with images pasted on different layers of transparent film that you rotate. It's what they used before lenses came into view. Sorry if my scan…

I received this from Stephanie a couple of days ago but it wasn't until just now that I realized this piece contained something for the neglected sense of smell. Stephanie's Luck pieces according to the ArtForum article I read are "seemingly random images thrown together like coins in an I Ching reading but revealing, in the end, the path forward."

Also, 4 Fluxus Bucks, which I have not altered yet.  Only 3 fit on my scanner. …

Mail-art by IUOMA member Eduardo Cardoso (Sines, Portugal)

October 4, 2013 - I am thrilled to be able to share this stunning visual poem, "Serpent and Sun," received from good mail-art friend Eduardo Cardoso in Sines,…

A big letter from Erni came in full of ingredients to keep my winter worm and to think for coming apricot and Biergarden seasons. I will plant some apricots, and Kastanienbäume secretly where sometime might be a Biergarten because chestnuttrees are the typical bavarien shadytree in beergarden. But if you hold them in your hand they help against lovesickness. And I ´ll be prepared now for Weihnachten. And there are some Paperworks, a cut out women who is folded that she came out 3 dimensional…
