Hey Jon, thanks so much for the postcard, love how all the little details in it come together :) Expect something in the post from me in the near future too!
Jon, when i get all the boekies from the othes, and see in which order I want to arrange them, then I shall add yours in an appropriate place. i may be able to make a photocopy version to send you! See? YOU will be part of the "Alexander" book! (The most recent tape transfer that you sent me, which i call "Mountains", is amazingly beautiful...texture-wise, layer-wise..our scanned images here give only a tiny glimpse of its beauty. Many thanks, jon.xxx
Thank you, Jon! This great tape tranfer arrived in my mail box after my return from a trip to Athens! It is great! and check out my posts about it all at the Alexandrian group...you are going to be part of my "Alexander" book...and no weeping and throwing-in-the-towel either! We may just include the mail art you have already created...they are magnificent pieces!
Hey kid- thanks for the great 1960s-era technology collage! I finally posted the image and I really dig your work- I'm making a special Jon Foster wall to display your great pieces!
Thank you, thank you, Jon! What a great quality of layers of images..I am indulging, love your art and techniques....(and how about a few pages of same for Alexander?) I blogged this on the Main Page, oh yes!!!
Make something "terrible", jon! Make four or so long pages of your tape transfers...they are "terrible". Then add that they are from Alexander's visit to Dallas. Then go and make ONLY 12 copies(photocopies are fine) and send them to us. We are waitinggggg, and we wait because we know it will be "terrible". (Then don't sign up for Cheryl's new one: 26"...that menas 26 copies of a boekie.AACK). you can do it...before Christmas even! This weekend, go, go,go!
Hi Jon,
Yeah, I know what you mean about the Who. I haven't liked them for about 35 years (since about 1972). The early mod stuff in the 1960's by them was incredibly powerful - although on the records they were much more subdued. That first show I saw was this: Eric Burden and the Animals, Moody Blues, The Who and the Chocolate Watchband (who was later called the Strawberry Alarm Clock - remember "Incense and Peppermints"?) This was in a Department store in Oakland, CA. I loved the Who from those days. Guess You had to be there. I'll be making something for you to listen to soon. Thanks again for that great CD - Listening to it right now as I write this.
'Got a SNOW day here in Greece too! Schools are closed, though i am retired this year, so everyday is a snow-day, how nice it is! Yes, i really like the Rembrandt eye, and all the transfers are great...texture, transparencies and paper!
By the way, Jon, did you send off your "Alexander" in the mail yet? Me just waiting here for the others so I can start to make the "book". Alexandros o Megas (as we call him here) just wants to know!
