Oh, yes! another great Haptic box arrived in Greece! Thank you, thank you, Erni! xxx
Look, look, look what all is inside...'tis like Christmas when Erni sends "Eat Art"! Teddy BAR, too:
But first the wrappings...and Dean Marks instructing "How To" open a package from EB
(art from Erni is never "low art"!) :
Well, carefully, as there is the teddy BAR on the package, and palm trees, and the usual stamps and images!
Inside? ah...just the beginning: a super crafted box, embellished with Erni-pic and other meaningful text
The " art-of-the-box"!
Open the cover (art of the flip side, too), and surprises await:
EAT ART! Yep, inside some highly organic and healthy rice cakes (oh, how i love these munchies!)
And then an amazing collage as only Master Erni can create...vintage matchbox and "flower-children" times:
comics too! Fascinating collage, thank you muchly , Erni!!!
But under all that...all these wonderful goodies...there is a super surprise BOOK:
needing many, many hours for enjoyable "reading", and seeing the celebs of Andy Warhol's world and Studio 54...
Mick:
John Cage:
Burroughs:
Comment
It is nothing less than magic box..!
LOVE :-) I reply with "αγάπη" ....well, I'll really have to search to find some goodies for the Haptic Werewolf!
The book is a fab collection of photos by Andy, I think he did them with his Polaroid camera...so they are very "candid" shots!
Ok - wow - what does one return for a box like this?????
I guess methadone really makes you pack on the pounds.
Erni's mail-art packages are turning into epics! What an amazing collection.
The Psychedelic All-Stars shots are like "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas." I have never seen such strange depictions of Burroughs & Warhol. Warhol looks like a corpse residing over a feast & Burroughs looks like a wino - easily the most hideous pic of him ever - or some mutant from one of his books. Cage is lookin good & right in tune for the 1970s, I think. How did DharmaDaDa find this stuff?
Thanks for posting, Katerina.
