Dean aka Artist in Seine's Blog Posts Tagged 'Erni' (54)

I call this one Kurt Whistles.  I have had this one on my desk now for two day.  I stare at it and whisle a happy song and try to think what am I going to say in my blog.  I still haven't decided.

Thank you Erni, sometimes words can say to…

Sorry, No record breaking here.  It arrived "as is" with 3.45 euros of stamps on the back and undamaged.  Udo Jürgens (79 years old now) will be happy to see that his 1967 smash hit "This ain't the Erni's Blues" is once again back on the charts.

     I can't wait to…

Well to tell you the truth, I'm a lost sheep on this one.  These are craft sheep you put on cards.  I'm lost for ideas here.

Wait, what about using them for a get well card; "I heard you are feeling Baaaaaaaad"

Thank you Erni & please let me know the next…

Well if this isn't art then who knows what it is.

My…

Well I don't know how he knew this or where he found the label, but yes this brings back childhood memories.  Sonne means ring, hence, ring a bell.

In Kyrgyzstan the local beer was called Arnina Kashtan, and it had a very bad taste.  I just realised that this is…

Get the Kack out. Aa? 

I can see straight through this Mail art piece.  The hole is bigger than the bite.

Thank you very much Erni.  You brighten my…

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go

I'm standin' here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn

The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn

The adventures of Erni's Mummy begins. …

Straight from ERNINESS king himself. Never before has something like this been turned into mail art.   But what could it be?

The Art Hammer hit the nail right on the head.

Ready to "go" moist toilet paper…

Erni sent me this very interesting banana holder.  I just couldn't wait to try it.  With a carrot of course.

And it worked.  I turned a carrot into a zucchini or courgette, it might even be a Cucumber.  I'm not sure, but it's green none-the-less.…

This metal, yes metal, dust pan arrived today.  However the handle was missing and the main message was covered up.  Ah but I know who it came from.  None other than the Hairy Wear Wolf, or something like that.  I'll have to look it up.

And here it is in all of its glory.  From the Haptic Werewolf himself. (I knew…

Actually in Eurpoe that would be; In for a cent, in for a Euro.  But not this tme.  No, Erni walked right pass that Euro shop today, and went home and made an Erni classic.

OH Erni indeed.  Sorry that caution sign fell in there somehow.

Thank you Erni, the inner Erni is worth much more than an…

Off scene found art, purchased in the One Euro store, or made by hand in his woodwork shop?  It is hard to tell by this piece of real wood with two He s' in it.

Ok maybe the Swiss Customs put the sticker on in the wrong place.  Maybe there are "He Werewolves" or even haptic ones as well.…

From Erni, this game is where you chip away the stone to see what is inside.  Our postman thinks there might be "coke" inside.  I told him "coke" isn't art.  It's a 3D object so the scan didn't work very well.

We'll come back to this another day.  Maybe a video needs to be made.  I hear you Mummy saying; "OH dear, not another one of Dean's…

Erni sent me this little row of sticks attached together.  To top it off, he paid 2.99 euros for it. 

What ever in the world is it?      And whatever am I suppose to do with it?

Watch this space (stay tuned).  By tomorrow I'll have and anwser.  Today I'm a bit busy with it being V day and…

     Two simple 3D foam "C" elements locked together.  On the back Erni writes; "Strange Yin & Yang    Fire & Water    Good & Evil" 

     At first it looked simple, but then many deep meanings come to mind.  If Fire is Red and Water is blue, then shouldn't Good be Red and Evil Blue?

     It would be interesting to come up with a questionaire with words, and people would have to attribute colors to them.  Yes, I'm sure someone is going to tell me that it has already…

Just when you thought you could do no more with Trashpo cans, Erni pops them on a background and the whole idea takes a design approach.

The three cans have been pinned on blue packing foam.  In a frame with backlighting, these could look FAB on a wall.  Sadly the cans are unsigned as they normally are, but I doubt that these are Erni copies.  They look too…

A 2D piece from Erni?  Really?  There is more than meets the eye ...

What looks flat to some, may not to all.  Remember it wasn't too long ago that sailors thought the sea was flat.

Well Well, the joke is on all of us ...…

     The Long package arrived to our gardien (concierge).  She said directly to the mailman; "That must be for Mr. Marks".  Yes, she now knows Erni's art when she sees it.

     I open the box and all of these things popped out.  And yes, I should have taken this picture before half that chocolate bar was gone.  Not very professional of me. Was that Nancy speaking about self control?

     So I put on the oven glove and clapped my hands.  It worked !!! No noise.  I replaced the…
