Gangblog of welcome cards from Dean Marks, JJalltheway, and BarnArt

First, Dean's claim that Barcodes Are Human Too: We've exchanged a few words on the barcode/human idea, but actually Dean convinced me with the art itself, as soon as it arrived. I love it and look forward to more of whatever Dean chooses to send. I like his style! And it wasn't bad in the cards that came to my mailbox from Dean and Katerina drunk in a Paris cafe, either.

Below is my second handsome card from JJalltheway (#211). Why the post office thought it needed to put its computer coded strip on both sides of this piece is unknown, but it's part of the piece now and can always remind you that the piece didn't arrive via carrier pigeon or pony express. Thanks, JJ! Love your compositions!

I really like the person smoking that BarnArt sent. Not only is it mysteriously and wonderfully done, it reinforces the fact that Smokers Are Human Too. The word needs to get out there before we see a new kind of hate crime in the U.S. It might even have already happened, who knows? By the way, is that asemic smoke? Right on. Thank you Sarah, for the attractive and somewhat out-there Triscuit address side of the card too!

KDJ, here it is, finally. Way more wonderful, yes? The very delicate paper on JJ's piece started to rip with the strip, but then I just peeled from horizontal top instead and it was fine. I will think more about this before leaving the strip on (case by case basis, as in the DKult claims dept work :--) .

Well, first, I worry about damaging the art and have probably never even tried to remove a strip because of that, KDJ. Second, the signs of its journey are important to me (and in general, I think). I did *really* wish it wasn't there, though, when scanning JJ's piece, and I can think of one thing that should make her piece an obvious exception: there's a strip on the address side too! Since you sound positive that they come right off and don't damage underneath, I'll give it a shot with this piece of JJ's and post the result in another comment, how's that?
