Mail Art Martha: Hommage à Dean Marks

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

This has to be the best Mail Art I have ever received.  Wait a second, it's my mail art that I sent to Martha !  So let me get this straight.  One receives Mail Art, then makes it better and then sends it back to the person who sent it?  Maybe I should have increased the explosive charges when I had the chance!

    Of course what Martha has done here is to reply to all of my fire questions and statements.  And she did a great job of turning it around and making it funnier.

Yes, it is the one that is right for me.

Thank you Martha, but I will never send one of yours back. They are mine, all mine.

OH yes, that is Authur Brown singing FIRE.  A crazy man that I enjoyed as a child.  Right up there with Klaus Nomi, who I just found out passed away in New York at the age of 39.  Life in the fast lane!

I am glad you have taken it in the spirit it was made, fun fun fun. We used to do this with Michael Leigh in the old times. Pick up leaflets and subvert them. What sparked my reply was your statement ' When and how to use the different types of fire' so it is you that started it and you are welcome to keep it. To you too the problem of archiving, heeheehee! As far as I am concerned you can use my work to line the cat's tray but this one is more of a door stop perhaps.

By the by I understand Jill's reaction, I had it a couple of times but there are so many more nice people in IUOMA than difficult ones that it is silly to leave.
