Surgeon nightmare, a Viennese whirl or a play by Shakespeare?

Antonio: "I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano;

A stage where every man must play a part,

And mine a sad one."

(Hamlet. Scene 1. Venice. A street.)

A wonderful technical drawing (about 30x40cm) of (fantasy) Artspace from David reminds me of a blueprint! Oh how I can look forever at this architecture, engineering design and the humor by David! I just love all details - and I wonder if I have met your guards earlier in my life... The entrances are themselves a performance..

This…

A mess with aces and wax, what a wonderful surface! Love it, thank you…

Wise sentences written on a color chart tells us to make it simple and trust our own judgment...

Thank you Richard!

This wonderful painting is large, about 21 x 21 cm, painted on panel. The surface…

Great collage with a tricky question! But it's solved thanks to Wiki :), option B. Onnes is the right man here. Thank you so much Steph!

Love it and especially the flap with the typewriting! (more more typewriting) Thank you…

Dean's bottles spreading across the world, Germany, Switzerland, USA and now Finland ... I see it as a bottle riddle but I can not solve it! (I am not enough drunk?)  Dean writes: "I am Sending this out without a bottle but what is it?"…

"Please don't run away. I mean you no harm"

Claudia's figures always have inner dialogues with themselves or their surroundings, very thoughtful and funny! This is a another great work by Claudia, thank you so much!

Cheryl sent me a piece of her beautiful painting, still with the scent of oil paint! It has been a chop day in Cheryl's studio.. and I fantasize up a picture how a chop day might look like, it's not as hard as Cheryl has written a note (poem)..…

This is no ordinary comic strip, when Sarah is on the move it's often embroidery we are speaking about and this is no exception! Unfortunately my scanned picture doesn't really show where the embroidery is, but it's the black around the text and between the strips. Sarah is telling me that this work/comic strip is to be continued.. wonderful! Thanks…

Dean makes a profound lesson in drawing back to the violent prehistoric times. It can not go wrong, everything must be built up from scratch, even in the drawing?

If you look closer, you can see Dean's careful drawings on these strange nuts that no scientist has discovered yet...…

Don´t know how you did this piece, Janine, but it looks fabulous! It seems to be lot of layering, collage and acrylic medium, the structure is great to feel. Thank you!

PS The stamp is very sweet.

Useful wisdom one can't have too many! Love the simplicity and your stamps, thank you Katerina!

Thank you Erni!

Thank you Arttower!

I sent an MA with the question what's important to Nadine. She was kind to make a lovely list of some different statements, very good to have around when you lose focus ... on what's really important. Thank you Nadine!

1. Erni Bär, Germany, Thank you. Your use of German colors and cheap collage trashpo in your mail art is classic, love it.

2. Frieder Speck, Germany, Thank you. Love your lively drawings…

Marie sent me wonderful photographic mysteries. I'm lost in the world of Marie, everything is new. I'm trying to sort out the mysteries, but it's perhaps not the intention, best to just leave it as it is...

Thank you Marie!…
