Thanks, DV. That's probably an excellent place to start. I'm sort of wandering around here.

Hey, DVS! I just searched IUOMA members for "confusion" to see if "Amalgamated Confusion" is a member and lo'n'Bhold, y'r name came up. ONLY y'r name. Y'r ol' Bud,  Fike

Hey De Villo!

Yeah, I cut my teeth on that literature thirty years ago. I submitted to BFS, and got a snarky response from Dennis McBee. I didn't know if he was pulling my leg, or that brutally "honest". I was a nineteen year old greenhorn who wanted to dive into the community head first.

A couple years later, 1987, I began submitting drawings and collages to Factsheet Five. They never published anything from me, but I received free issues. The only two publications to showcase my work were out of Huntsville, Alabama: Chris Fitts' & Chris Chapman's Fred's Wonderful Newsletter and David Chamberlain's Auricle.

My "claim to fame" are the hundreds, maybe close to a couple thousand collage/mixed media postcards I sent to friends, bands, record labels, 'zines, random strangers, and cute girls I liked.

Such is life, no?

thanks!

Oh, Fantastic! Sorry I didn't see that blog post. Thank you though for letter me know :) 

Hi De Villo,I was wondering if you received the ATC's I sent you awhile back?

Did you ever hear from Babs Bird again or find out what happened to her page on iuoma?

Hi there Villo.

I don't think the system lets you comments on peoples photos if your not a friend.  At least that seems to be my experience, but I'm sorta new, so what do I know.  Wanna be friends?

To answer your question, though, the Fluxus Southwest is not a stamp, but a printed "thingy" I did on my computer.  I had no idea anyone was using it.  I hope I didn't step on any toes.  I am in the Souuthwest and I just decided to create it for myself. Unless someone claims it as their own I will probably continue to use it.  I saw others adapting it to their locale so thought it would be ok.  I thought I might even have it made into a proper stamp.

Are you planning to open a New Hampshire Walmarth outlet?
