    Hi Peter,

  • Torma Cauli

    Hi Peter!

    OK! Very good... Thanks.
  • Bradford

    Sorry about the website - used only for selling on eBay but had to provide one when registering here. Hope to flesh it out this winter, but more on topic would be to get another going intended to replace postcardx which disappeared recently. There's one hidden page on my site: http://www.bradfordscollectibles.com/QS.html

    Hello Peter.
    I am very slowly getting around to making a postie for everyone that took part. Doesn't help that half of them keep coming back to me because I've confused myself with postage and put the wrong stamps on them... Keep a-watchin' the post box something'll arrive someday!

    Les, It is here you can also write in English ... Now you are a "laugh" of how we write ...
    But we understand, art is a universal language ...

    Hi Peter, Thanks for your note. Will add something to your discussion soon. Lots of stories to tell, but not that much time for many words. Things will start soon for your discussion I am sure. When someone replies, it goes to the top of the list and will get some attention.

    Hi Peter
    Thank you for the correction on my blog. The P is near the O on the frensh keyboard and have caused a lack of FRAPS. On the site this shit is a statistical tool, but I will remove it. This is the same as on the blog ruud and is a real shit. Look the little blue square with red lights at the bottom of the page and click on it.
    Best.
    Denis

  • Denis Charmot

    Ha Ha Ha... Thank you. It is true that december 2009 is in one years. Last year, I sent several postcard: Happy New Year 2006. This type of error is not uncommon for me.
  • Torma Cauli

    Hi Peter!
    Glad! :-) Good, thanks! My family name: Torma, given name: Cauli. This's artist name, FRIPS give me, she can Torma László in handscribe 'Cauli' see. :-)

  • RF Côté

    I am glad you like the last issue of CIRCULAIRE132. It's OK to keep the cart-o-cycle as they are on your blog, honestly, its like the Kamasutra, all positions are possible....

    Cheers!

  • Carla Cryptic

    Peter, I think that some of the best work ever done is quick and 'random' like you made that cube art. It flows from somewhere less conscious that way and our conscious minds sometimes try to orchestrate things too much.
  • stan askew

    Dear Peter, Wow! What a Surprize. Haven't seen that stuff since
    Colorado, where, for some reason, i put art in Heat sealed Plastic
    Bags. Ha. nice to see them. Might not put your kids through
    Collage, but some nice early Doo Da's. Thanks for sending on the
    Pictures. I don't know how to put pictures here yet, but I'm
    learning.

    sincerely, doo da

  • Ian-Patrick McAllister

    Thx for the heads up on the Art Raw Gallery call. It's a bit weird that they require an 18$USD purchase of a 5x7 studio board to qualify. I'm looking into it though
