Glad my little something arrived. I'm trying to figure out how you get that wonderful washed look on the postcards that I see on here. Is it ink?
peace,

I am glad you got it. I did not write your address on the white space, so I wondered if a mail person could read. Good you like my elephant.

Good mail art day, Bifidus!

Your mail art arrived. Thank you! I love the antique quality of it. I can tell that you used an acrylic medium on the front. I am trying to place the architecture. Ravenna? It's been awhile since my last art history class. I also love what looks like the giant peach amongst the planets. And whom is that white bearded fellow on the back? What a great way to start the weekend.

OPA,Bifidus...that was also the name of the Greek song for the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday in Oslo, Norway. Greece came in 8th place out of 39 countries, not bad. OPA!

Well Hi to you, Bifidus! And thanks for the welcome. Say, do you make

Howdeee Bifidus,

Would you like to trade your firstborn for my firstborn and a set of triplets to book....plus the added bonus that they're all teenagers! You are most heartily welcome!

Jack's pack, Article 1, C-sectioned

CrackerJack Kid

Hmm, Bifidus,

Left a comment, but it seems to have left me. Something about you needing to moderate answers.
But what I believe I said before it was probably lost in the ether world, I mentioned that I have a first born, and a set of triplets to throw in for our trade off. You get the added bonus of receiving four
kicking, screaming, parent hating teenagers. I call it a Crackerjack ARTicle 4, C-sectioned, prize in your mailbox. I did stick my nineteen year old in my oversized mailbox when she was eighteen months old. Had someone take the photo and I mailed it to my friend Ray Johnson. He sent a card back with his comment over the photo, "Love that Kid!". Ray sent her a birthday card once. I think Lauryn was one of Ray's youngest members of the New York Correspondance School. The legacy lives on now that Lauryn is creating Mail Art with passion. She received two big mailers today. Zilch for Crackerdad!

Thank you for watching You Tube. It is just short film taking with my camera. Thank you for looking at my painting. I was just disappointed I sent it to some contest and did not win anything. Please check again.

Hey Bifidus,
Thanks for the new piece,as always it is very intriguing. I have been crazy busy. Two shows opening the same day, TV interview and 2 receptions this weekend. Missing sending out my mail art to friends. Look for something before the end of this month.
