Valentine Mark Herman's Comments

hello,val...congratulation...great your works on wood...and the photoes with wood on the sand, wood on the empty beach...

the beach is near sigean ?

have you a blog or a site where we can find the exhibition "Summer in Sigean"?

Hi there VMH - your postcard arrived today  - I love the vintage playing card! And I don't care to remember where I was in the 1980's - what happened in the 80's stays in the 80's!

Hi Val, love your aboriginal series...just saying!

Hi Val, I'm doing great these days, with a lot of keep me busy and active. Your multilingual "Great Northern Bitter" card arrived today, and thanks so much!

As it happens, I put a little envelope in the mail to you this morning. I recently found a new kind of glossy sticker paper, so I printed up a bunch of my "cool neon" and IUOMA stickers. I'm sending you some along with a special surprise. More fun ......

So I have to look for a sea monster with 'Oost Bruist' cap ;)) The hairpin with the flower is kaput...

Ahh so glad that you found it! It will be sent out for you Friday! Cant wait to see what I get back considering some of your art that I have looked at- doubly excited!

Val we are leaving on  tuesday, furiously packing now, so see you soon, will phone from Collioure.

Hello Valentine,

I'm glad you liked my mail art piece - but please note that my nom de plume is actually "Lestaret" - so I don't get in trouble by the main Company!
I don't use a lot of film in my work, but like the format for mail art and will probably do some more - I'll look into the arty slides group too!

Don't leave the beach if you can help it! I am very close to the coast and try to spend as much time there as possible! I love your driftwood sculptures too!

Au revoir!

Christophe

I wish we could get more bitters here in the US. For some reason that beer isn't one that we have much of a taste for.

Hi Val,

I do actually exist! ;) I'm sorry to hear the mail art you sent me got returned. I'm afraid you've got the wrong address number: it's 64 boulevard Diderot, not 62.

I've been very busy writing my thesis lately, but as soon as get some more free time I'll be sending you something :D

I wish you a nice weekend,

Ana

Hi Val and thanks. I was on yahoo IUOMA yahoo group for while since it was so quiet I moved to here. I'm not really new to mailart as I have sent and received postal works before. Haven't yet set up a mail art call maybe one day. Trying to figure out the format.

Hi Val, I'm glad that you enjoyed the little "Everyday Beauty" booklet. It was an experiment, and I think that I'll make some more like it. I do need to go out and take some more photos ... especially while it's still summer!

Summer is my favorite season. Even though the winters in coastal California are very mild, and I shouldn't complain about them, I still prefer leaving my warm jacket and rain boots at home.

You're welcome! And thanks!

Master-of-the-Beer-Mat, Valentine...thank you soooo much xxx

(I hopped into Dean's blog here:

Val Herman: The master returns to beer mat art.)

Thank you for the great Manual/Map of Val, the Master of Sigean. This is really MailArt with surprises. So much to discover. Where can I book for 'In the steps of Herman'? Love it. Thank you.

Thanks for the warning, now I know what to pack, all those clothes that never see the sun here, both literarily and as a figure of speech. Love the hat on the pole.

I do this things so quickly that I hadn't noticed your gorgeous green tulips, lovely!

Yes Val the card is an antique. I carry it in my purse, together with a card from a friend who is a defense solicitor, just in case...
