Really excellent and evocative piece. It makes me think of being bombarded by news media and advertising and the brain trying to filter it all out and still maintain ones own…

Is he/she wondering where his next meal is coming from? Received this moody, medieval, haunting card from Sandra complete with gothic castle on the back. She asks me how she can be indoctrinated into DKult, not realizing that she already has. Just one bit of red…

Fantastic Piece from Carina Granlund

This is a large piece-13 inches long. On the back she writes, "Or Should I ask what is NOT important?" We think the animal is a devil dog--the intellect with its constant need to know everything. I do know that mail art is very very important--and nearly everything else is not:) thanks…
