Critical Thinking from De Villo Sloan

no hanging chads from this score card. DVS' work is always inspiring as I would never have thought to something sans envelope that had a flap. Astonishingly, it arrived fully intact.  Great holiday card with DVS' signature muted colors/antique mystique thank you…

Quilton Loves Your Bum

Got this great trashpo po from Vizma. She says it is genuine uncensored studio trash from her floor. It includes a DNA sample , which will be great for the DKult archives--we might be able to sell that strand of hair for millions one day. Your hair tested positive for artistic ability. Tucked inside a mini envelope was a tiny stamp that says D=Day

Love this Viz=and your…

Invisible Squatter from David Stafford

For eight years we have been receiving mail for the ever elusive, Barbria Carter. Val Marque gave me the idea to make a series of "Barbria Carter Does Not Live Here" Mail Art. David was the first to receive one and this is his response. He has put my mind at ease to finally get some insight into who this invisible squatter is. The dark underworld of mail art seems to hold many mysteries and it is no surprise that Barbria Carter has become a part of that. The biggest mystery of this piece…

Blogjam: Hot Seat from Claudia McGill, Minxus Mail from Claire Dinsmore, and Trashpo etc from Vizma!!!!

I'm in love with the color palette Claudia uses. It's hard to read from the scan but it says" when they said I'd be in the hot seat in my new job, I certainly didn't envision this."  she also writes on the back, "Thanks to you I will NEVER forget to use the zip code again.."  Jon Foster had touched on the inevitable paranoia that can creep in when we exchange mail art and communication stops. This happened to me with Claudia as I hadn't heard from her in awhile. I thought maybe sending her…
