Willemien Visser: Bedbugs in Boots

It's an old Dutch fairy tale about the night where the bedbugs came down from the mountains and carried away all the children boots. But wait a second, there are no mountains in Holland, and if this is an age old Dutch fairy tale, children would have been wearing wooden shoes.

Thank you Willemien. Can't wait to see the one about the little Dutch boy who plugs a dike…

Jokie X Wilson: Baked Alaska

Jokie send me this Mail Art piece the day before his big trip to Alaska. I think it could have been a farewell Mail Art piece in case he never returns. I hear that it is so beautiful that you never want to return to civilisation again. I guess in one way it's similar to going to the Pigalle area in Paris.

Anyway someone once gave me a very strange deck of…

Thank you muchty Jokie. It reminds me of the song; "She was only…

Alan Brignull: Drill Chuck Wrench

How many drills could a drill chuck wrench chuck if a drill chuck wench could chuck a drill ? OK easy enough. But my newt question will surely stump you.

Why would someone send a photo of a drill chuck wrench to a drill chuck wrench fan? Yes, I have to admit it, I…

My very first J.A.D. original straight from the good state of California. California home of the bionic woman and the state bird is a red hat. This is real drawing. J.A.D.creates space by having the hat and bridge go back in the drawing.

Thank you J.A.D. Hats off to you.

So who got 2 &…

As explained on the back, this is a monotype Jokie did thirty years ago. I really like it and find myself gazing at it all day.

Let me see, the big hit of July 1986 was "Holding Back the Years" by Simply Red. How appropriate!

By the way, Simply Red is…
