i received Mail Art from Ficus Strangulensis

...life imitates AI imitates life imitates art imitates AI imitates...

i received Mail Art from Jimmy Connors

charming winter scenes interrupted by a holy baby (although that wig is def not purple).

what you can't see in this photo is that there's a hole cut out of the original postcard, and the religious icon has been inserted there, which is why i'm writing 'holy baby' (aside from the halo, i mean). danke schon…

i received Mail Art from C. Mehrl Bennett

Catherine sends New Year's Wishes - yes i'm still way behind with blogging incoming mail - and a delightful assortment of printed matter. i'm in awe of the prolificacy of Luna Bisonte, not to mention the funds required for so much color printing. i like the chalkboard drawings on the cover of the bookie "Root Soup" (a pithy little story by Jennifer Weigel,…

i received Mail Art from Jokie Wilson
