Erni and the Haptic Werewolf strike twice! Volume Two: tiny package MEGA treasure!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

So let's see what Herr Haptic Erni has wrapped in a tiny package

(see scissors for relative size)

The Haptic Werewolf greets us, and carefully the wrappings must be cut...art-of-the-wrappings:

Inside:

Aha! An Inspiration Box!

Whose Inspiration Box...why not for Herr Haptic Erni?

Oh, Erni, for ANDY WARHOL! Yay!...it has arrived !

And it is not simply a little staue of the famous man, but the "throne"  is a stand,

and within the stand...a very important boekie! What wonderful revelations in this boekie!

Words of Wisdom from Andy:

Oh, there is much more....will have to post later perhaps!

What inspiration! And Andy likes "thinking" about Erni's art too!

And he will join blue mouse and friend to tell his impressions on mail art....like these bar codes!

Marvelous treasure! Thank you muchly, dear Erni!

Must read and mediate more....and post more tomorrow...

No urban-exploration this Greek Easter weekend, but instead I was out at the seaside shack ( for roasting the lamb-on-the-spit naturally:-) Anyway, I did do some beach-combing-investigations. Whala!

(I guess the Greek weekender fishermen do through their cans overboard?

Or the kids play: "Let's crush the 7up can from the top" ???) Now...how to send and to whom?

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Oh, yes, Erni...that can is a beauty...and it does look floral as "petals" emerge around the center...a vertical crushed can...amazing! And the rust is beautiful...definitely for Nancy, she is in love with RUSTic things! I am still looking as I take walks around the park and neighborhood...either no one tosses cans, or the "recyclers" are there immediately to snatch it! Still will continue my urban exploration...

Andy says: "Keep lookin' Kate, Dharmadada Practices Urban Exploration!"

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Yippee! Yes, how could that vertical crush happen? It's unimaginable. The iron plate does look beautiful.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Oo-la-la, rust AND a crumpled can that looks like a flower from both bottom and top--wow. That's an exceptional beauty, and I admit to coveting it muchly. My hand is up / it is waving / there are tears in my eyes / ... !

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Ok, gotcha, thanks Erni. I didn't think of you as old-fashioned, though, with your cutting-edge m.a.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Hmm, sorry you disliked the blogjams, Erni. They seem better than the work not being seen at all, and if mail art backs up again, for whatever reason, I'll probably resort to them again. There was no way to blog much with two quite devastating deaths within a month and my heavy involvement in both their aftermaths, but like I say, for whatever reason.  I was able to do about five individual blogs in all that time, and one was of your terrific m.a.--you don't fit well in a blogjam, even though you were included a little bit in one, because the wondrous assortments you send really must have more than one or two scans/photos! :--}  

[Alicia Starr]

thanks sir erni. sent you something Dean-ish. curious if it makes it through the system.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

It is quite a treasure, and tiny things like these stickers (on the left) that I shall be putting into mail art soon...watch you mail boxes for Andy/Kat art !

[Alicia Starr]

A dandy andy treasure Kat/Erni. Haven't seen this pic of Andy painting the car.  He did have a  fascination with horrific automobile crashes.  He was such a tidy painter, not a splatter of paint on him. Wonderful package erni, and thanks for the heads up, 'Songs for Drella, homework for later.  And thanks for posting this little marvel Kat.
