Dean aka Artist in Seine

Oh, Dean! Boohooo...tragedy!

Look what happened between France and Greece! The card arrived today.

Slaughter. Lost is the Eiffel Tower in its bubble! boohooo....

Although it is so nice to see the Paris streets again, and thanks for

marking the spot where you live. Nice!

Me shall wait patiently, while I scrub floors for my mean step-mother. 

(Though I must say...the stamps are FABulous!)

Dear Mr Spensers,

I got TWO from you today (after we had spoken)...€500.01 and a piece of non road-kill chocolate, t'other the Parisian way to make wine.

The latter seems to be a nice little vintage: delicate, crisp, with a nice head and subtle colour. That's just the Mam'selle.

The chocolate should i think stay on the card, but I've put the cent to good use -- it's in the Buy a Bottle of Parisian Mam'selle Wine fund.

I'm not sure that I can keep up with your prodigious output, but we'll see.

Regards from C&A de Sigean

Hello again! I'm going to send you next week a copy of jennie Hinchcliffes' 'Red letter Day' Mail Art 'zine. (It's my only copy, so i'd like it back, please). It has an article from me in it. She's looking for contributions for next year's issue, and i thought that you might like to contribute something on your, er 'wacky' stuff de Trashpo. And/or we could write something together.

The Royal mail always gets through, well sometimes it does.

Hasta la vista, baby, Val

Thank you, Dean....banana bingo has arrived and FABULOUS envelope! (blogged it at main page) Great work! 'Love it! xxx

Happy Halloween in Paris!

(and send me any extra fruity stickers?)

'Shredpo" arrived in Greece today. Many thanks for a great card...back and front! Big smile on my face, and it came along with fun stuff from Val and David, too. going to blog ya awl!

Lots lying in the Greek streets these days, but no Eiffel Tower :-(

Maybe I will just have to come up to Paris to get it handed over personally???

(But then, is that mail art or hand art?)

Dear Mother Bored and Father Brake Fast at the End of the Boulevard, I got your incredible circuit board card, and all the parking credit cards (don't send me any parking fines that you get). I'm amazed that you manage to send this stuff through la Poste.

I'll mail you an extremely modest vegetable/philatelic bingo card type thing back in a day or so.

If you Google 'Dean Marks' and then 'Images' you find some very, very strange folks there. they can't all be you. Or can they?

Are you gainfully employed yet?

Regards, Val

Has my identity been cloned, I wonder?

"I am you, and you are we, and we are all together."

As to why didn't you think of gunpowder before, it could be because you were experimenting with enriched uranium.

The Eggman

Well, if you are me for a day, would you like to pay my 'Start of the month bills' that I haven't round to paying yet? There are still some 9 hours left of today

Hold on to the uranium, but send the ladies.

And as to re real estate, well, that's got me worrying.

Who are you going to be next? Google 'Dean Marks Images' and you'll find lots of name-a-likes.

Regards, Val

I think you probably did, Dean. That was a fun project, wasn't it? So much humor around the number 5. I haven't heard of any project about 11/11/11 though. Anyway, I posted something you last week, so watch for it in your postbox:-D

Love your new avatar, by the way. Lol!

It's HERE! xxx Thank you, Dean!

And it is even BETTER  than the first one...this is a REAL Eiffel Tower (Made in China?)

Also...did you know that you used my old map of Paris that I had marked off my IBIS hotel near the Pullman Hotel ? Perfect! xxx

Hi Dean, thank you for the champagne cork egg carton RK performance art documentatoin piece I received from you. I truly hope it is NOT the last of the RK series as the story of its' creation is quite inspiring. Thank you so much. did you ever receive the paper plate?

all the best

DK

Val (who will be mailing you soemthing back in the enxt day or so).

Hope you enjoyed your mini-hols

Hi Dean...did I write that I got your Eiffel Tower in-a-bubble? Yes, of course! But I enjoy it so much, that I feel like I "receive' it every day...(or is that a senior moment? hmmmm)

In any case, I was at the post office today to mail you on this great day: 11.11.11 , a "tower"-in-a-bubble, too! I hope it arrives safely in its UHU-banana-bubble!

As the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris, so, too, does the City of Thessaloniki have a tower as its symbol. The White Tower stands at the sea front,a reminder of the great sea walls and city walls of the Middle Ages, dating back even to the Byzantine Era ( when there were not Chiquita bananas ;-)

Dean! your scrap sando arrived. I love it thank you!

thank you, Dean...I also received what I call your "sandpaper tower"! It is a beauty, and I so understand the hard work that went into WEAVING sandpaper strips! Oh my, that was quite a task...and hard on th finger tips! Wow! But it does have the shape nd the sone color of Thessaloniki's "White Tower", so I am sending you one in-a-bubble ;-)

My Blue Mouse looooves your woven sandpaper. xx thnks!

Thessaloniki's "White tower"...like your "sandpaper tower" ;-)

Bo.nsoir! We (Bianca, Trouble et moi) have decided that you are well and truly NUTS. Thank you for them...and the olive stone/pit.

Bfeore you discovered mail Art, and besides long-distance running, what on earth did you do to keep yourself busy?*

I'll be mailing you something back in the next day or so...if you provide your personal ID no, of course.

Thanks again! Bestest, Val

*I almost wrote 'to keep yourself sane', but well I'm not sure that's quite what I meant.

Bonjour! What's your non-IUOMA email address, please?A couple of things I've sent recently to deanandvanessa etec have bounced back, and i might have got the address wrong. Ta. Val

The only thing better than getting mail art from you, is hearing the story of how you went about creating it. I LOVE the thought of you asking for a piece of tire, cutting it, and the worker rolling his eyes. Your piece is hilarious and I appreciate the tire tread to RK all my future mail art. You are the best-your imagination is appreciated. Love and art

DK

Dean, dear boy, Don't make a "spectacle" of yourself, Pleeeeezzzzee change back to your other romantic, handsome, and beguiling portrait photo, please. You are scaring us here at IUOMA with your new "glasses"   ;-0

AND thank you for the very special "trashpo" Eiffel Tower, all the more special where and how you found it! I thought it might have been broken "in-the-mail"...so like it the more this way: ruined, discarded, saved, recycle, and created into ART! xx

Bonsoir....did the barcode and numbers arrive in Paris? Regards, Val

Sending you some good stuff as soon as I thwart the nasty rumor that I'm pregnant!

DEAN, IT ARRIVED! You probably knew it would, but one never knows around here. It's in fine shape, ring and bracelet and all, and I LOVE IT--what an uplift this omen has brought. Thank you thank you, et merci! (I laughed my guts out before even getting a good look and seeing how wondrous it is.) Man, I love how you work ...

Never mind my beret...wait until all those Sheilas see my socks!
