this 'cautionary' missive makes me think of a lyric from "Les Miserables":

Mr. Stolte also sends an intriguing graphic by MusicMastter of Minneapolis:…

this time she she's sent me a 'year-of-the-dragon'-themed packet of small pieces. 

muchas gracias amiga!

Mim sends another fill-in-the-blank/make-your-own-adventure postcard:

as usual, the other side is full of stamps and stickers; ironically, the sign-off suffered some damage, so it just reads "I love -- ". more fill-in-the-blank fun!

thanks Jokie…

Mim sends along a do-it-yourself postcard --

he: "The buck stops here"

she: "Oh dear"

from a mural in Oaktown's Chinaland.

does Fleur know that i binge-watched 'Manifest' over the holidays? (peacocks figure prominently in that storyline) coincidence?... i think not. ah the mysteries of Mail Art.

talk about anthropomorphizing; apparently french bees are nature's influencers.

hang on - that's US postage! i guess Dean's buzzing around. 

one last question: are birthday suits allowed? 

no matter what technique or medium he works with/in, William always delivers the goods; such clean collisions so carefully executed. i admire his consistency ]:-)
