May 11, 2018 - Richard Canard is a faithful and generous correspondent to the point I cannot document everything, but I do try to choose a few plum gems from the laden branches of the C-Tree to share with Tenderfoots. How is that for a confused-mixed metaphor?

Several copy art and asemic compositions by Richard caught my eye. As I have discussed before, Richard C is a master of avant forms and strategies. This includes copy art. So I will focus on the copyart aspect this time. He also has taken an interest in the current asemic craze, although some skepticism could possibly be detected.

Here is a large piece by Richard C that was composed last January. I believe it refers to a polar swim ritual, the kind that takes place around the turn of the year. Ruud Janssen and Litsa Spathi are the subjects of the work. The piece is so large I had to take it outside to get a good pic:

De Villo, I love all of these pieces from Carbondale, Illusion! Especially love the alpha-bits / alphabet asemic poem, and the Burger King performance piece. Very neat (if not, tasty) concepts from Richard C.
