Glad to hear it made it to you intact. Hope you like it, the past couple of months have been rather trying, but I'm gradually getting to a better place mentally. Just moments ago the Postman picked up 6 pieces of outgoing MA, which brings my total for the week to 11 sent. Just wish my scanner wasn't misbehaving, as I haven't been able to document any recent items.

Thank you for the invitation to join Asemic! I've left a message there already.

Hi De Villo!

I decided to send something to you, and guess what ... I have already done the piece, follows in the mail tomorrow :)

"The Desolation Angel in the Ruined Theater of Fluxus" - for Marie and DK

Hello Mr. DVS, This is kitty and I was hoping that you received my cards sent so long ago. I wanted to show my friend  and hoped I could find a picture of them on your page here. It would be sad if you did not get them......2 dreams in a green envelope sent at mid February.

I guess I will just have to send you more! I am enjoying your food for thought in the meantime!

You're welcome. I, too, have an interest in that postwar Frank O'Hara/Larry Rivers/Joe Brainerd/Joe LaSueur period.I love Brainerd's comic strips. I keep thinking I'll find a way to do something similar but I think too much about it. There's a randomness, a Brion Gysinishness if you will that really doesn't suit my nature. I want those laughs goddamnit and that sort of zen gag writing is probably a bridge too far for me. The closest I got recently was on Laurence Robert's valentine. But Padgett and Brainerd were way beyond this sort of thing. I hope you get something out of it. I think I found Gooch's biography of O'Hara slightly more interesting but I think the definitive history of that period has yet to be written. Really, it's the flip side of the execrable Mad Men.

While I'm thinking of it, keep an eye out for a card I sent before my trip to Florida last week, I figured if anyone would get a kick out of it, it'd be you.

Hi De Villo

I would like to know if you already received my piece?

n"Like Ray Johnson, another master collagist, Brainard is one of those great nonaligned artists who now seem to fit in everywhere. His love of intimate scale and pop culture ephemera (no one did more with matchbooks); his penchant for captions and punch lines; his forthright joy in being gay; his inability to adhere to a single style or medium (to make "Brainards" as he put it)-- these characteristics link him to a host of contemporary artists, among them Jim Hodges, Robert Mele, Raymond Pettibon, Karen Kilimnik. His own influences include Kurt Schwitters, Arthur Dove, Joseph Cornell and Max Ernst, and also Edouard Vuillard.3"

I can relate....

Well I won't reveal the songs that inspired them just yet, but consider them yours.

Thank you DVS! Yes I'm very very very familiar with Owsley's 'artistic recipes', 256 times familiar if we're speaking of the same Owsley.

Absolutely!  I can see the potential in using rubber stamps.  I have used all kinds of things to make marks with.  I should post a photo of all of the junk I use to stamp and lift paint with.  Are you carving your own yet?  Lets see some more!

I just wanted to thank you for posting the 'Mr.Krinkle' card I sent, it's aways a pleasure to read your impressions & thoughts about my work. Often times you point out things that I myself didn't realize I had done.

Honestly I'm not too familiar with his stuff. Although I'm going to find some later to download & give a listen. Oh, I was gonna ask if you'd like an 'Alien Asemic' card, I've made three in the last day, so if wouldn't mind I'll send at least one your way.
