I'm Enchanted with David

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: 

(scanner art for you, David ...)

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

OPA OPA!

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:

blogged: RED dot marks the spot...from David :-)

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

Always glad to be of service

How much did you get? Probably more than the around 56 cents Diane sold a John Bennett shopping list for on ebay. It was worth more, and you probably got more for the Martin photo from David.

The market for Milner is red hot at the moment because of reports that he fell at a Bob's Big Boy in Glendale. Some said it was booze, some said it was his prostate medicine, some said there was ice water on the floor and anybody would have slipped but the fact is he fell and he broke his ankle. We're waiting on pins and needles to see if/when his temp starts rising. When he hits 99.4f the market is going to go apeshit. Don't say I didn't warn you.

See, if it weren't for IUOMA, not many of us would know what David has educated us about here regarding Martin Milner. I feel deeply in your debt, David, because I stopped getting my gossip from Parade magazine a number of years ago and have been quite a lot dumber ever since. Thank you ... truly!

Dear NBS,

My job is provide you with tasty morsels of pop culture in bite-size digestible chunks. No sticky mess. No gummy aftertaste. Just the pure gristle you want and crave. And, in a way, we do a great service for the forgotten celeb who's age has shoved them from the stage but still give good copy when they're gliding in a gurney down the corridor that leads to death's door. Anyone can find something on Brangelina but what about Lionel Atwill and Claude Akins? What about Albert Salmi and Geraldine Brooks? These people have lots of mordant secrets that I am here to make up for you, the reader, (Nancy, in this instance).

Now that Kenneth Anger is no longer. I mean he's still alive. He's just not that angry. Well, someone, dear reader (AKA Nancy) has to step up to the plate and jump in those empty shoes which is really tricky if you have a bad knee like I do. It goes on like this for days....

The bite-size digestible chunks are very digestible and I appreciate them. Also, your logic is logical, Dave, and the aging forgotten stars gliding on their gurneys deserve your and our attention. What about Gale Storm? Maybe her gurney glided through the door already. I'll check for you.

Just love the tales-you-tell, David! xxx

David Stafford tells a story...many, actually
