I think this is the first X-Mas card I received this year. With Pre-Christmas-leftovers. Dean is somebody with foresight. Or hindsight? The card includes a reflection on how this Christmas card came together and - possibly - a crash…

What sparkle! What joy! A cereal box top design by Ana Kawajira (sequins!) and squares by cubistic Dean Marks:

Collab mail art they created on Oct. 28...before Ana left Paris to return to Brazil.…

Some time ago Dean and I had a discussion about a particular type of vintage tourist postcards, where an image of the place is placed within the letters of the name, which I like. Dean came up with the term "raised letters". And now he…

What does she see out her window?

If she is a guest at Boulevard de Bercy in France, she sees this:

And, if she's had champagne, she may see THREE of 'em?…

Nice large card from Dean Marks as he traveled to Strasbourg:

Looking at the map fragment...beautiful Alsace, yes Marie?…

Don't ya just love Mondays?

Especially when the mail box gets filled with great mail art.

 Besides the golden CHEESE from the Haptic Werewolf,

there were also a few wonderful mail art cards and collages.

This multi-imaged collage is from the Artist-in-Seine, Dean Marks:…

August 27 was Banana Lovers' Day.

And somehow, somewhere hiking high in the French mountains,

Dean Marks managed to find a La Poste box and send this card off to La Grec.

It is "cerealism" with attached images of the famous Banana Olympics:…

What is it?

And of course we are talking about "naked" mail art items...

no packaging, no envelopes here...pure metal,... and feathers and ribbons, too.

Of course, I did have to go to the post office and claim it,

no way was the post gal going to carry this around.(about 15 x 30  cm)…

Two from Dean Marks, the first in Celebration of Banana Lover's Day

A child eating banana...WOWZA!!! And to think I didn't even know it was Banana Lover's Day. I'll definitely be marking my calendar August 27th so I don't miss it next year...August 27th  :)…

This has to be the best Mail Art I have ever received.  Wait a second, it's my mail art that I sent to Martha !  So let me get this straight.  One receives Mail Art, then makes it better and then sends it back to the person who sent it?  Maybe I should have increased the explosive charges when I had the chance!

    Of course what Martha has done here is to reply to all of my fire questions and statements.  And she did a great job of turning it around and making it funnier.…

What wonderful art awaits in my mailbox after a ten day absence!

BLUE reigns supreme, of course! A real beauty from Suus in Mokum. Many thanks, dearie!

And from Erica Durante, BLUE "SHINE": …

Dean has sent me some mail-art while I was in France. Since there was a flea market coming up that weekend I though it was a perfect opportunity to get some good cash. I was sure of the success of this project, as the piece contained some rare british mail-art omens, as well as a unique "Manoir aux Visons en Alsace" address.…

Yippeeeee, Jubilee Diamond Mail from Dean. This is such an honour. I guess the figure on this card is Henry the-so-many'est, isn't it?

Look at the stamp! Ulluzubuth smiles. She must be very happy with Dean, visiting her Kingdom. I wonder what Dean's…

Now this card definitely came from England! "Let us eat cake"!!!

And it seems to be a great "add 'n pass around -the-table-as we drink"...tea? ale? wine?

Look at these fun details...characters one and all:

Thank you Stripygoose…

What a bunch of garbage? NOT! FAB Pink Trashpo and mysterious "eyes" from the Artist-in-Seine: Dean Marks.

It asks:…

Another tragedy, but this one apparently avoided ... so far ... :

You must read the story. It is well worth it. And now I'm wondering, beneath the barcodes and 60w BELL bulb labels, are we seeing a map of the nefarious and unlawful procurement of the…

Including champagne, even: 

Those caps just do it for me somehow. As we know from the other side here, and from other blogs, Dean's first meeting with Val sadly did not happen. I view that as a terrible tragedy. Could there be any more fun had by…

Dean, not a fragment of glitter out of place. and 'two r's better than one', you are the bestest. thanks dear, you always make me laugh. …

Dean has sent me so many great pieces and I am so behind with blogging... I wanted to be the first one to crack the code, but I think several people have done so before me. Corked SOS, of course :-))…

Collected  a few of the blogs for this wine cork festival of mail art from Dean.

He will have a chance to view all :-)

Here are a few of the blogs:…
