Jokie, you may be on to something here. "Aftermath Code Art"

Thank for the Mail…

PATRICIA LANDON: Pantone 17-1436

Cracked Art. The Witching hour is slowly approaching. The light is fading and so are the bell tones from the painting store around the corner. Pantone 17-1436 is sliding into a red phase while a raw Sienna scream can be heard from behind the front door.…

Dharmadada Erni Bär: Der Herr ist kein hirte

The Dharmadada Erni Bär is still out there walking the streets of Hamburg looking for a Urban change now. Or at least someone to pick up all the rubbish and remove all the tags. The Kurt Whistles is doing over time in the think tank like in a painting of Edward Hooper. It's the shadows that make this Mail Art, or should I say the lack of them. They are gone now, and the…
