holiday greetings and an assortment of 'mail omens' (some from the Sticker Dude); thanks Katerina - i'm STILL catching up; something will be headed your way soon! Happy New Year all over again ]:-)

may we all have an incredibly fantastic and artistic year!

[thanks to Susanne & Lars Schumacher for this terrific commemorative card; still a little puzzled as to how it arrived in my mailbox with no postage whatsoever... i guess both Germany and France have some art-friendly postal workers and/or diehard…

et voila! colorful ink blots, a darling holiday card, and a Kokoschka souvenir

merci Helene et bonne année!

a painting, a postcard, and another one of those hand-bound 'recycled' booklets -- 

in addition to my original envelope, this one includes DC's rough drafts, printed poetry from C. Mehrl Bennett, and a…

Christmas Tagging - (still going through my backlog of holiday mail)

i notice this was posted from Paris - happy trails, Dean; hope you are now back 'home' safe and sound.

self portrait no. 17: look closely; you can see Dean's eyes amidst the golden nuts.

telltale traces on the card lead me to believe that perhaps some actual almonds and/or raisins were glued on but fell off...?

you never can tell with nutty/fruity Dean; he favors 3D mail art and glue seems to be his signature substance…

a lovely homemade winter holiday envelope and card [yes, i am VERY far behind in posting, due to  travel] and a hint of cookies (which is better for my waistline, after all).

Danke Schön, Kate - und ja, more to come in 2023!

along with a Covid poem (not seen here) and some other stuff, Mim's end-of-year wave includes a post office post card - (everything old is new again) - an ATC featuring Grand Girl, and some circles, of course - what goes around comes around. thanks and belated Happy New Year to…

maybe late to the game, but better late than never.

this fantastic calendar arrived some time ago; extended holiday travel means i am way behind on posting. the 'minor gods' remind me of the 'major deities' of Shazam... haven't yet worked out the corresponding acronym just yet, though. …

from Lithuania with love -- cool!

another large scale boomerang piece from the area of the Bay, tagged 'Eat Art Ritual & Two Found Stickers'.

quite a feat, n'est-ce pas? Mike's collaborative stuff is like a trippy funhouse mirror. 

Together Again for the First Time!

while in Paris, i was able to meet up with Dean aka Artist-in-Seine one night after the theater... over cocktails adorned with marshmallows and pate de fruit, we discovered our paths had literally (but unknowingly) crossed way back in 1985. what a splendid rendezvous! stay safe, my long-time-ago-now-new…

this is mesmerizing, isn't it? a musical/perforated sheet of variegated "Bird Brain Troubadour" stamps! 

and a fantastic road map too!

many…

four full sheets from the TICKET! TICKET! project (series 10) - wow what a feat of coordination/production! feels like we're all there together at the eternal post office. thanks Jack for assembling us.
