A couch to bear the weight of Caligula, and a New Tetris

With my apologies for having a temperamental scanner. Eduardo's envelopes are unique and always otherworldly- looking. Maybe it's because he succeeds at combining his own drawings with cut-outs to form unearthly collage. I like the little hat on the envelope belonging to the mustached-gentleman who thinks so fondly of mail art. My scanner did not pick up the title of couch piece but it does say, "Caligula" who, I believe was a no-nonsense ancient Roman leader. All that bossing around does require something elegant and sturdy to rest upon. "A New Tetris" refers to the space that cracks creates and I like it. I'm so sorry Eduardo's signature red letter "E" did not get picked up by my scanner. Great mail-art assembly, Eduardo. Truly an anomaly. Thank you very much.

Bravo to Eduardo Cardoso and of course you too, Bifidus. This is the wildest Eduardo piece I've seen thus far. Love that sofa, and you can think Caligula=decadence to illuminate it a bit more. His signature red stamp is great, and can be found elsewhere. To be candid: I think Eduardo is a kick-ass visual poet too, if you've ever seen any of that work. Have been a follower of his Paranormal Mail-art blog for a long time. Wonderful to see this. Thanks.
