John Bennett and Matthew Stolte - When Partial Words Collide - and adding Jim SantAmour!

[cheryl penn]

John sends me - and others - the most wonderful things :-).  I have NO idea why, but they just YELL at me to add to them - I'm sure some of you feel that?  John is also a well known ZALOPIST.  ZALOPISTS inhabit ZALOP City in the World of Emphatics.

ZALOPISTS make maps to secret doors leading to ZALOP City.  Its very difficult to find you  see.  This is NOT a FAKE map - this is an AUTHENTIC JMB map.  It is NOT a shopping list.

There are various ways to say hello. Matthew knows quite a few. 

Matthews vispo  is dense, textured - almost as though the seeping ink matches the bleeding words - and visually very rich.  An ideal melding of image and language. It is  textured and rich in color, an ideal melding where language and image are combined.

No, keep adding :-) - I'm going to experiment with something - will let you know ;-) X

Glad you like it. I don't know which technique she uses. I would like to! How can she come up with one marvel after another? Like this one too: (then I'll stop) ;-))))

Hello you two :-) - nice to see you here.  That work by Les Brumes is fantastic - its done on acetate or x-rays? Only being able to see work when its held up to the light adds a whole new viewing experience :-) X

Thanks DV, you gave me an idea. I'm sending it back to JF Chapelle.

You should stamp that on your work. "No! I prefer MinXus."

Of course, an influence of cherry blossomism or minXus
