Hi Diane... I didn`t receive your asemic pages yet... Would you mind to re-send them or posting them by e-mail in high quality so I can print them?

Greetings.

 

Thank you, Diane for your absolutely wonderful postcard. I will respond ASAP. <3

Hi Diane!

It's the Asemic #1... Tell me when you post it, please.

We always have to wait a lot for the mails, but yesterday I recieved a lot of stuff but no Asemic pages #1 :(

Greetings from the south!!!

Diane i recieved the Trash Book today. I am delighted. Thanks you so much.

Thank you, Diane! Your trashpo has arrived in Greece, and I posted it on Erni's blog. 'Love the way you added all kinds of interesting "rubbish", as our South African friends would say! It is a fun mail art piece..'love it! xx

 

My D-Koder ring came! My D-Koder ring came! I believe! I believe!

Diane, I will wait ...even until after I return from my travels to Paris and London...I will be back by Oct.1. I think that Cheryl is sending me your Asemics #3, so we'll wait and I am sure I'll get that copy. No need to make another. ;-) Me patient with art in the mail!

Thank you for the lovely trashpo card!

Hello and thanks for your card, got it in the mail today. The weather is finally getting pretty nice around here. This past weekend was great with the windows open and the football loud...thanks for checking in.

I got your postcard today! Most sincere thanks for thinking of me. There are some pretty fancy words there. "Infantilization." That's a fave. Best, Sandra

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Xx

Hi Diane;

Thanks so much!

Glad you like the zombie kitty. I didn't print him, though. I drew him with a black sharpie on printed scrapbook paper, glued him to cardboard, cut him out & added a couple coats of polyurethane varnish for that silky satiny finish.  I hope his "kahloon" stayed attached through the mail.  Watch him at night ... He can be a handful!

In case you like a heads-up, a 9x12 envelope of anti-depr't paper material went out to you today. To ward off the trashless blues or bipolar freakouts as supplies get low. Just in case.

That's great news, because without works from you popping up online or in the mail regularly, my art life would now have a giant hole in it. It's probably safe to say there's an endless supply. I never realized until now just how crazy a paper packrat I am. Everything gets written down in some notebook or on some envelope and apparently I just haven't been able to toss 'em. For decades. They're on shelves and buried in drawers, etc, mostly for no reason, until now. I am so happy that the stuff gets to have new, beautiful life in your hands!

Just got your PC in the mail. Love your style!

You are most welcome. That slick finish happens only sometimes, and depends on the texture of the book page itself and on how many glaze layers it ends up with (of Golden's fluid acrylic paint) and how thickly/thinly I apply it. Each page tends to be different from all others. The slick ones I tend to use only in small doses; most of my work ends up matte overall. Glad you liked the trash stash, and I sent it Thursday--just two days, not bad at all! That's almost short enough for a true emergency!

Diane, Thank you very much for the Mail Art you sent me.  Yes Trashpo is the place for me, although I call it gifts from the Mail Art Omens it is basically the same thing. Trashpo sounds trendy.  And what a wonderful way of passing on the messages in your fortune cookies. Yes, I will have much to be thankful for in the coming year ... Trashpo, and breathing!

Hope to see you in the mail again soon, and why not even Paris.

Hi again,

Yes, Val told me about Trashpo.  He said it was the place for me, and stop sending him banana leafs, roof slates, ice cream spoons, and cell phones which were run over by cars.  And of course he really did not like when I took one of his envelopes, put it in the shredder, glued it on cardboard, (in disorder of course), and sent it back to him.  Yep he said to me; "Young man, you need to send your Mail Art Omen stuff to even crazier people than yourself."  And thankfully he said that right in time, I was about to send him a hamburger bun glued to Styrofoam!  Nice to have met you...

DK, I was just looking up something on your blog and I saw that garbage performance proposal and the response from the gallery director (or whoever it is). That is completely priceless! I don't think I've ever seen anything so funny.

 

And you know the sad thing? Fluxus is this huge movement, chronicled in art history books and represented in museum collection. What you were offering is if not exactly very close to a Fluxus performance. And how many people get to see something like that? It's a case of people thinking they know all about art but are actually clueless?

 

Anyway, it is an amazing exchange.

Diane, I just fished your wonderful postcard out of the mailbox, what a great surprise! Thanks a lot, I really love it! I'll send something soon!

Thanks Diane. Just saw your post. Your's was the first. Boy if you miss a few hours around this site you/me/we miss so much. Hey, and by the way, thanks for turning me on to Trashpo. Downside, saving soooo much 'stuff' and can't figure out how to store it. It's piling up on my desk.

hi Diane, am slowly getting this done like a turtle crossing the ocean to get SECREts that open like clams to reveal their pearls in your hands

I blogged all THREE trashpo mail art pieces that arrived in Greece. You are super Queen of Trashpo, girl! All are amazing and fun...'love the book, each page is fascinain! Many thanks! xx

A little boekie from Lesley SA in lower left, in good company with ALL your trashpo!

Each page is FASCINATING...(spell chick just ate it up)

Glad it made it!  Check out David Stafford's pics, he gave her a head.  Hee!

Is your stash size good right now?

No tears, will put together more stash today. Don't *worry* about what you send me, have I not loved anything you did? No. I seem to love it all, am helpless in the face of it.

No zine, except a superesoteric research journal for Peabody Museum. Mostly I copyedited nonfiction books for publishers, also college textbooks. The former were interesting, the latter deadly, esp new editions of the same thing every couple of years.

A couple of children showed up at my door needing costumes for the Halloween Ball.  They said they were friends of Zombie Kitty, so I let them in.  Thanks a bunch ... I'll post them over at New Tombstone when they are properly attired.

funny, crying men don't turn women off, well, most of the time.

Your FAB trash-book arrived - many thanks - I think mine is somewhere over the Sea of consciousness :-) X

Tell me where the comment is!! He'll go to the back of the class, in the corner with the rest of the monkeys. Give me directions to that Sea :-)))X

So DVS has directions to The Sea? Which one? Conscious or Unconscious?  PErhaps a manufacturing default?  One has to be careful as monkeys steal goggles and flippers and speedo's - one does not want to be sightless or coderless in monkey infested waters - tattle away - its fun :-) X

MAN! What is that above my head? Processed meat??? Ex-Monkeys??? Breakfast on the patio

I notice that they are cancelling/"franking" stamps less!!!! You know what that means!!!!.... lately the postal system is using these thin ,long barcode stickers and forgetting to cancel stamps! Let me know when you blog next. Peace, love and trashpo! Neil

DK! Got your postcards! I love them, thank you so much!! Will blog soon....

The barcodes were the start of my Trashpo.  At work we were throwing them away.  During my lunch break I started playing around with them.  Then one thing leads to another and bang, there you have it.  Presently I am working on a piece which in the end will be around 3 feet by 3 feet.  I call it; "Barcodes in my life", also titled "This guy should get a life!"  The idea is to put together interesting bar codes that touched my life: baggage tags from flights I have taken, the barcode on ballet ticket, the barcode inside my cell phone, the sticky one on the box when we purchased a new refrigerator, etc. (Note: Not the vulgar ones you find on cereal boxes.)  End of story.

PS Please define MA to me at my e-mail address: dean.vanessa@free.fr

PSS I have no idea what it means.

PSSS I'm sending something "different" today to you in the mail.

Thank you for the wonderful piece of mail art!!!

Thankyou! In less than 4 1/2 hours i am officially Very Old. I don't feel it though! Bon weekend, Val

The hand written thing was found in the library-i love Found objects!- what is "instant cue"? Is that some Netflix thingy?

Hi Diane...got the packet today...thank you for including me in the trashpo
add And pass...will definately participate... *-*

Your envelope arrived, I love everything, needless to say, but you'll have to tell me why that grungy piece is not trashpo. Thank you!!!

p.s. trashpo a+p: yessssssss!

The faith is 100% intact.

Hi Diane, 

Thanks for the request...i would not say that I am  a trashpo artist....could one definitively be considered a trash artist? I just find some things too interesting to throw away...and if it makes the mailbox brighter, the more the better. Often they are worked into more "controlled" artworks...

I look forward to seeing you in the mail!

Dear Golden Boo-Dee, there is a Take Back Wall Street demonstration this afternoon right down the street in front of the local Bank of America building. Should DKULTNY go? Dw says he wants to "score one against The Man" for Di-mocracy.
