I made contact recently as Guido had slipped in a piece of Otto's work in my last mailing, so I promptly sent him a little collage. In return I got a fab envelope bursting with stamps, doodles, a summary of who he is what he does and a sense of his great humor..…

I received this assemblage of Blighty celebrations in an open box from one Artist in Seine on tour in the UK.
