I can see where Joey is coming from in terms of the similiarities between Brain Cells, but I think this has to do with using the same technique for 30 years! Otherwise, each issue is a snapshot of the network at that moment. So I see the variety, too.

I just found a stash of Brain Cells from the 90s, and looking at them brings me joy. I love the colors and all the details. Each time I look at one I see something different. There's a surprise (or ten) in each issue.

@ Joey, I think each Brain Cell form unique in its own, by both then combination of images and the combination of artists. Personally spoken, I love to see cartoons and well-drawn animals, so if there are fun cartoons or ‘wow’-causing drawings, my smile large.

For this reason I keep the received Brain Cell forms untouched. One day I was annoyed by again and again seeing the same image of a nude woman, so I drew my comment to it (a breastfeeding woman - as nursing a one year old in public still is taboo (also in my country) while magazines with nude women are easy available).

So one idea, if you get bored, is to create a reply to the received Brain Cell form.

An other idea is to recycle it, into an envelope or cut out parts to use in your own mail art, zines, etcetera

And one idea is to stick 4 or more together and paint something over it: this way Ryosuke Cohen creates ‘portraits of artists’, see for instance http://www.ryosukecohen.com/dion/fractal/141516.htm

To be short, I think you are right when saying the forms look similar, but for me that is only at first sight; when looking more close there is so much more to see. And to do, if one is not afraid to cut or stick the forms (I am, though :-) )
