So far was I behind, I thought I might never catch up! Better late than never, right?

Below are links to my most recent blog posts for both INCOMING and OUTGOING mail art.…

I'm sure you always dreamt of it, but here it is for real.

If you don't write a cheque now, you'll only have yourself to blame later.…

This collage reminds me of David's style and the back of the card reminds me of his humor.

David, if this is yours, please signal by saying "Aye"!…

It's the blog that's late: Man, you caught Pete's posture and everything. Sending Pete plus Dylan dying and being reborn at the Newport Folk Festival on the back of an old Kingston Trio 45 record cover ensured that I'd die of nostalgia. Thanks, Dave…

 Surely from the man in the moon.  Potrezbi or not.…

David found this piece littered in a walmart parking lot. You can imagine how excited he was thinking he had found an authentic collage. "It turns out to be an A-1 primo example of the corporate co-option of collage". The other side is a typical Kraft food packaging for a couple of crackers and "cheese like substance".

David quotes Bob Dylan, "We thought we could live forever in funk. Our chances really were a million to one".

I ran my hand over this card several times swearing…

Always inventive, always a surprise ... thanks, David!…

A reference to the Magambo Night Club, Iowa City hotspots (you did some serious research David), and a water snake, i see a moray eel too, all in an envelope my husband likes. But then who wouldn't.…

What do you do when the envelope is as good as the art work?  David has pulled it off again.  Can you see your mail art somewhere in this master piece?

Four earths.  It is not clear if these are recycled stamps, but they are now.

The simple line to form the sea.  But it is much more to me.  It's Inspiring.

Now here it is folks, hold on to your hats:

Thank you David, this hit the nail right on the…

I sent an "add and return" collage to David, and this is how he responded.

Sent to David (above)

David returned with his additions. I added the "O" "W" after I got the collage back from…

In the year of the snake, this piece of David's is enigmatic,  intuitive, introspective and refined.  What else would you expect, Kill Bill ?

The master of reptiles & Mail Art  takes on a portait commision where the payment would be his life.  Getting the nose wrong could cost him a limb.

Thank you David.  It makes me giggle.  I know…

SO MANY THANKS!

This card does not reveal the sender, so I am making a wild guess. I think it is from David Stafford, who's pieces elsewhere are being sold for hundreds and thousands of dollars! He kindly offered to send me something for free.

I had a look…

Just in case you were wondering where is was, David's "A" turned up in Greece.  The "A" you see on David's profile photo is from 20 years ago ... ok, lets say 5.  Yes that's it, only five years ago.
