I'm Enchanted with David

Yep, David is ...enchanting!

See that "A" coming forth from David's head? Well, Dean Marks took it when they met up in Paris. And now I have it! YAY! (great card, Dean!)

Did I post the picture of Dean holding that fabled "A" over my head?

Detritus from David's desk. What a winner! The Institute for Lowered Self-Esteem has my vote. Below are photos and the link to my blog about it. This is in honor of KDJ, who tries kindly to remind us when we forget to post David Stafford mail art here in his very own group started by the perceptive KDJ. Yay KDJ, love to you and may we see you soon!

Taco Cabana Turquoise is the IN color for Fall

The trashpo club house is priceless ...

Damn! Now my Corgus Mechanicalus LS is completely obsolete!!

David has sent me a package that promises "Hours and Hours of Fun Enclosed" and he was NOT lying. The game has revolutionized our family game night and we have caught our kids playing it at night long after they should be asleep. Chateauroux translates as "Better than a Ouijia Board". I send David a piece of blank canvas and this is his genius response. I will always be convinced that David is famous and I know that I am not worthy to receive his mail art, but I'm glad I do.This is the first ever DKult Industries product to be released since the merger. David was always the man to create the packaging

Oh, yes...enchanted...

someone want to post David's "Snake" here, too?

A 'mermaid" arrived in Greece recently from David, no snake...yet :-)

YES! Angie, wishing makes it so...in today's mail:

an unidentified/not signed SNAKE...from New Mexico :-)

...and a squid-fish or a monkey-fish painting?

Thank you, David xxx

...ok...it's a squid,

has pink suction on the tentacle, yep!

That monkey sloth drawing is mesmerizing. David working his magic again. And what does forward postage mean?

Monkey Sloth Squid....yeah, that's what I was goin for...(use Jon Lovitz voice here)

Actually my art is (such as it is) is totally dependent on happy accidents. Consequently "going with the flow" is essential. I've been toying with the idea of reducing my dependence on happy accidents by 40% but after crunching the numbers scientists tell us that would mean I would need to live another 80 years (to develop the necessary skill sets etc) which would mean drinking a lot more kiwi juice. We're still running the computer models to study the feasibility based my learning rates and life extension technologies. The result: Under ideal conditions I should be able to draw a squid with intention by the time I'm 89. Under less ideal circumstances I would be able to start drawing a squid monkey sloth (with intention) at 76.

Aha...So the snake card was part of a sort-of story. What a charmer; it was heart warming even if not part of a story. Maybe someone can say who the tractor driver is (or submarine driver, or giant-acorn driver?). Is that YOU, David? I really like what he's doing:

I think David's claiming that his art is unintentional for the most part, is completely intentional. He saw his drawings do not have meaning, yet we know the complexity of David's mind; therefore know there is ALWAYS a hidden meaning. I think if all of David's art was assembled into a flip book, it would contain something not unlike the Dada  Vinci Code

Excellently put, Diane. You captured him. Intentional/unintentional, there is always a hidden meaning. Plus usually some delightfully what-it-looks-like aspects. He's a rare bird.

Ha--Angie your correction gets an A+.

Rare steak.

Now if I could only teach by tentacles how to draw....

b = m....talking about unintentional / intentional....

David-if you could create a paint by numbers kit that would be great, so all can create these squid-like creatures that have no definite meaning.

I'm all over that...

David's mathematical genius has inspired French students...

see blog :

Simple Wine Mathematics from Dean..and David

When there is no signature, no return address, no Artist-in-Siene, but there is a postmark:Albuquerque...who is it from?

Our man DAVID Stafford, of course!

hmmmm, might be iron deposits running down the Man in the Mountain,

but David, me thinks this goes in the EGG exhibit. See, there is a golden "EGG":

Katerina,

I sent my egg to Afroditi on Tuesday...Hope she likes it.

'Love the mountain painting, and the pic on the flip side is awesome, too! thank you so much, xxxK

Thanks, David, for sending to Afroditi...we'll post it as soon as it arrives! Yay!

I'm just jazzed I could send mail to someone named Afroditi....

Aw, David...and it is her birthday today:

This piece was a huge hit at David's Gallery Debut. There were rumors, which David would neither confirm or devy, that these were really cleverly veiled squid painted in squid ink

David sends a squid EGG to Gallery of Colors for May 2 exhibit!

A RARE and REAL EGG!

Wrapped and packed very carefully so as ot to break.

It will be on display at the Gallery of colors!

David doing the ole soft shoe? seriously, what can this guy NOT do"?

Happy Birthday to Enchanting David :-)

Oh yah, Happy Birthday here too, to His Enchantedness and to his enchantment:

I got you and your wife these costumes for your birthday

Hmmm...quite an assortment....thank you, dear mail art friends...blog coming soon..

OPA! Party time for David's birthday! xxx

What exactly does Opa mean?

Could it mean dance?

I think it can if you really want it to.

Just got a package from KDJ....perfect timing...

how jealous am I David....very

I'm gonna try to post it this weekend along with the ton o stuff I received in the last month and a half...She thanked all of us for keeping her in the loop.

OPA! OPA! yep...HOORAY! (while dancing, of course!)

And OPA! Storytime from David...now he is seeing red dots:

I'm enchanted with David because he sent me... Well this has to be the best thing he ever sent me.
