On my trip to Seattle I was able to meetup with the mail artist Amy Candiotti. She showed me how to make Gocco prints - something I'd always been curious about. Some pictures of our Gocco experiments.

Amy also showed me this really cool phone she has:

We bought the phone at a yard sale where it was being sold by the artist, John Rizzotto.  http://johnrizzotto.com/portfolio.html

His paintings are amazing.

isn't the telephone fantastic? someone made it or decorated it for her. i forget now what amy had said exactly.

kiki, i had a feeling you'd have had a gocco machine at one time. i know they were really popular in japan for a long time.

not quite a collaboration zac, but definitely working together(or at the same time) printing our screens.

It looks like you two had a wonderful time! I used to have Print Gocco from Japan, when I was a child, like 35 years ago :-)
