Seek - from Karen Champlin

Another piece of Karen's Bad Art closely followed the first one. Just kidding :-)), this is an awesome and very special piece, Karen.

It's funny how cardboard and paper can turn into powerful imagery. I see the search for a Treasure Island. The cardboard sea is covered with grids, calculations, estimates, routes. All of them leading to the Island of K, if everything goes well and the winds are favorable. I'm quite sure I won't get lost,… Continue

Can't find a title for it - for RCBz

I'm sometimes starting something with a clear idea of what it should look like, and then it ends up in a limbo. Like this piece. I now think it might send out the wrong message. Like ugly vs beautiful, man vs woman, western vs asian etc... Even if it is based on a famous Japanese wood print, I'm a bit worried that it might come out as borderline racist. I can assure you that this is not the case (or not my intention). At all.

I… Continue

fREAKIN' OUT OUT THE OLD LADY MAIL FROM Jon Foster

I got this mail. I'm starin' at the address totally freaked. "Why did I send myself mail?.....and what does Jon have to do with it?" Okay, in my defense. I'm on more drugs than most of you have tubes of paint (no, just 8). But it all made sense (thank God) when I turned it over. It was created from my Bad art envelope. Is this kid clever or what!

Thanks Jon. Maybe call me and warn me next time.…

Received from Marie Wintzer, Japan--Tanuki Mail

It appears that Marie is well on her way to some eclectic fashion design and perhaps I am her first victim customer. The composition of this piece is a nice balance of written and illustrated collage and the tanuki stamp is the frosting on this dessert. I love the bits and pieces from…

Boy's Day - from RCBz

This is my favorite so far from RCBz. I love the retro atmosphere, cosy and velvety with an underlying feeling of uneasiness (cf the ghostly figure of death in the background).

The original card is picturing Boy's Day, nowadays Children's Day, celebrated May 5th. Families honor their boys on that day with all kinds of treats. Carp-like streamers made of paper or cloth are flown a bit everywhere. Taking an iris leaf hot bath… Continue
