Very Palatable Postcards from Pals around the U.S.

[Thom Courcelle]

From Subreal Alchemy (Pennsylvania), Renée Brandow (Iowa), and Tofu (California)...

Dave (Subreal Alchemy) and I are on the same wavelength...

Indeed, what billionaire could ever spend it "all" before they destroy everything and there's nothing left to purchase?  Hoarding wealth is a phenomenon of the ultra rich, and is why it stagnates the economy—Billionaires stash their wealth and remove it from circulation, driving the economy and the stock market down. Meanwhile, the middle-class and impoverished are exhorted to SPEND> SPEND> SPEND in order to drive the economy. But it's hard to spend it when you ain't got it, and corporate billionaires refuse to pay living wages while they store away their own billions of dollars.    ...Why, it's enough to make an artist CRAZY!!

Dave often provides a relevant quote on the reverse of this mailart. This one reads: "No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger."  ~Rainer Maria Rilke

That seems accurate...and if we aren't testing that statement philosophy right now, then I don't know when!!

Renée got *ALL* her mediums out for this naked postcard... It includes collage, rubber stamps, cancelled postage stamps, and paint...

"Don't be afraid of being different," it implores...  "Be afraid of being the same as everyone else."

Tofu is trying to "line things up" by providing a free lesson in 2-dimmensional perspective on their card with perspective lines provided...

Lesson continued on the other side of the piece:

Thanks to one and all!  These were all creative , splendid, and thought provoking!
