Tire Treads and Broken Pottery from Dean MarksD

Dean has sent me this "Volcano Life Experience" Piece. How did he know my life has been like a volcanic eruption lately? Call it trashpoition? He has put tire treads, pottery, and what looks like a Trashpo Diety-all constructed from mail art omens from Puerto de la Cruz. He writes "Two lost souls on the road to San Juan" does he mean Him and Vanessa? or does he mean his bar code wall of China that he snuck and sneaks into every piece? Thanks for this Dean!

Yes Katerina, USA & Finland so far, but I haven't heard from Erni yet.  I'm posting his in the "show us your Artspace" as part of my studio.

Wow Carina! These guys are bananas for you! Great one Dean--but I'm glad I got shoe soles instead of meat heads:)

Yes I have to say again that I looove my fans, the way they speak to me and stand by me through thick and thin is just what I needed!

Great they are starting to arrive now.  Just a little something for your night stand.   This one makes me laugh & laugh, it just had to be for you.  I also like how the "r" in Your is a bit hidden so you can read it both ways.

   OH yes, and thank you for posting this side of the card, because I remember I didn't really like the other side, but my time had run out, and I didn't have time to change it.  You win some, and you lose some.  This is the first time I found the B side better.

I would love to move to the Canaries over the winter months, especially now when I come in contact with my supporters! I have to check if there is Artist in Residence locations to apply for! Check out the locals here...!

Well this is the first card to arrive from the Canary Islands.  I was worried about their postal service, but then again this card has San Juan on it so that might of helped.  Walking in vast lava fields, and no roads, I never expected that Mail Art Omens would put things in my way.  But on two different walks, I found these soles of shoes.  At the time, I thought AMAZING.  But after a few days I noticed that lava fields take a real toll on walking shoes.  The title and key hole were found on the black beach, and the San Juan card I found outside of a small church.  PS There are no living Mail Artists living in the Canary Islands.  We should get someone to move there!  Maybe Carina?  She has an eye.  Foreground, background, I have no idea, but I do know that Carina will like the one I sent her from the Canary Islands.  I showed some of Carina's paintings to some of the locals ...
