    In memoriam Liz Taylor

  • Carla Cryptic

    Oh, Dear - did Liz Taylor die?  Sorry to hear it... like the stamps, Susanna.

     

    Is that a submarine, Samuel?  I tried google translate on 'a desalambrar' but no results!

  • Samuel Montalvetti

    La imagen es de una alambrado, - cerco perimetral - y uno de los elementos que tensan estos alambrados que nos indican la  "propiedad privada" . En la argentina cada ves hay mas compradores de tierras estatales con altos recursos naturales, y hasta los habitantes originarios, por ej los Mapuches son echados de sus tierras.

     

  • Carla Cryptic

    I see!  Very important to know that... thanks for the explanation.  For those who don't speak Spanish, this is the translation I got from Google:

    "The image is of a wire fence - perimeter fence -  and one of the elements that tighten these wires 
    that indicate "private property." In Argentina every time there are  more buyers of state lands with high natural resources, 
    and even  the original inhabitants, eg the Mapuche are
    driven from their lands."

    Hola Carla, Gracias por traducirlo.

     

    Ademas si todo se pudiera desalambrar se terminaria con las fronteras y es posible que asi se terminen las guerras, UTOPIA.......que le dicen.

     

    Salud!

    Mike, nice collaboration piece, always good to see your work, QEii and Velimir also, thanks.
  • Theo Nelson

    I am in an owl phase...
  • Ashazart

    Very nice work everyone! You are all inspiring me to make some new stamps. Hey Theo, I sure hope our iATCs "round the campfire" project will be completed soon so we can see everyone's results! Cynthia
  • Theo Nelson

    Cynthia,

    The last “whisper” should be on its way Nicole. It should be very delightful and shocking I hope!

  • Carla Cryptic

    Cool owls!

    Yes, I would like that too, Samuel!
  • Carla Cryptic

    Love the stamps JF - let us know if any of them get confiscated on the way to their intended recipients! ;)

    My grandson Thomas came for a visit a few years ago and I demonstrated how his grandfather makes artistamps. I took a photo of his head, we designed/formatted the stamp on the computer, printed the stampsheet and Thomas assited with the perforation on my antique Franklin perforator. Could he be the youngest artistamp maker?

     

  • Carla Cryptic

    So cool! ;)
  • Mike Dickau

    Thanks Carla! Don't look at my spelling! Here is the "before" pic:

  • Theo Nelson

    Beauty. I have a friend who is a big auction freak. I have told him if any flat-bed presses come up to buy them. I will have to add perforators. :)

     

  • Theo Nelson

    ps. Mike, I think your grandson may very well be the youngest stamp maker. Good show!!

    LATEST STAMP FEATURING THE LOGO OF MY FILM COMPANY...

     

  • Carla Cryptic

    Sweet!  Didn't know you HAD a film company!?  Cool. :D
  • Mike Dickau

    It's just me, a variety of cameras, a computer, and a dream. I taught a filmmaking class in the 70's and now can make videos using my old 8mm film, VHS tapes, and digital files. Just use the name for my video art...
  • Mike Dickau

    and, lying is a big part of my art-or, just story telling?
  • Carla Cryptic

    I'd say truth-telling, more likely - if filmmaking is your dream, and you make films, then you are a filmmaker in my book.  If we were only the things we can make a living at, we would be paltry beings indeed. ;)

    Send to:
    Miguel Jimenez - El Taller de Zenón
    C/ Santa Maria de Guia 1 - 4C
    ES-41008 Sevilla, España

    Suggestions:
    Eroticism always had been one of the motors of human being ¿Is it still a motor at the present time? ¿Was it affected by the actual global crisis? Consider the option to work about eroticism as a theme in all the possible ways, the requiered size is suitable to develop it, and it will be interesting to prove how the actual crisis is affecting eroticism in connection with Postal Art.
