Lynn Radford

Lynn, your work did arrived safe and complete. Love it, the titel is very true and I took it to my heart immediately! Many thanks!

Hi Lynn. I apologize for the delay, but I've posted your last postcard here. Hope you are doing well! 

(btw Lynn, I sent you a li'l somethin' last week...)

not sure/maybe...? i've had probs w/ quite a few of this particular design being returned to me, or taking a long time [To address in light coloured letters on a dark BG). Wait a while & let me know if nothing appears in another week & a half or so... If nothing, I'll send you another... (I think I've run through this printing, but I may do a second ed. If not, I'll get somethin' else to ya...)

Good! Thanks for blogging!

Youa re very welcomed Lynn. Your work look fabulous, an amazing transformation from trash to TrashPo

TrahPo Bubbles, very well explained and very, very beautiful. I also tend to keep nice packaging but never thought of such transformations could happen. TrashPo Mindfulness will be my meditation subject this evening. I see if I can make a quick Zen TrashPo object to fix the attention on. This could be a new cult altogether.

Oh Lynn, shame is something to leave for the assholes who want to silence Assange and Wikileaks!

Artists are scattered types, made me laugh out loud, so thanX!

You're a wildwoman, Lynn. IT arrived and is a RIOT!!! You probably didn't know of my passion for old signs, so this has EVERYthing--rust, dents, scratches, bullet holes galore--maybe they even tried to burn it--letters, crookedness. I love love love it, Lynn, thank you thank you thank you! Blogging it will be a blast, so to speak.

Feel like a feather, lifting 200 pounds from the earth!

Thanks Lynn.

No Lynn, I do not drive a car!

Anecdote: In 1997 I want to collect some money at a bank in Chicago and they ask for identification.

I give them my ID card. What’s this? My identity card. ??? Can you give us your driver’s license. Don’t have any. I do not drive a car.

They looked upon me as if I was scum of the earth and a possible highrated criminal.

They refused to give me money!

HOOT HOOT HOOT.

You live in a craaazyyy country, Lynn, hoot hoot hoot.

(True story by the way)

Well, everything about it was ingenious, Lynn, including your careful packaging. Its existence remarks on so many things about our society. I love it no matter what! For its speaking as well as all the other art-trash-history aspects mentioned earlier. Today I managed to get decent photos, so it will be blogged soon. You were really great to think of me for it!

In the press here last week the portrait of a Republican who runs for the senate (in one of the Southern states) and who defends the position in public debates that raped women cannot get pregnant because a self defense mechanism in the female body prevents that in case of rape. This incredible F**** nonsense to defend his position (the real agenda) he is against abortion in ALL cases.

Now about the hidden agenda of our press! It is to show that the USA is full of lunatics and that our leaders are so great (compared 2) and/or please back Obama, he is a saint and saviour (compared 2 again).

Wrote this text for Guenter Schwind, in the present context I could say it is an attack of americanism. The concept that something is american or non-american (the heritage of Mc Carthy) has never been quite eradicated...

Hi Lynn, I received your banana stickers card this tuesday - many thanks!! Beautiful handwriting! 

All righty, then, that's the spirit--exactly what was needed. Results shortly. Thanks my dear!

Ah, dearest Lynn - I received your gorgeous card yesterday - thank you so very much! As I said when I posted the scan, I believe you "must have been using that focus tool of hers and looking into my heart when she chose the colours....%_^)"  It's very interesting how different the composition looks when you used the contrasting colours here (not literally, but you know what I mean...), as opposed to the monotone/chrome version you posted last week... a somewhat plaid/textile design sense comes across in this one that didn't in the other...I never cease to be amazed at the power of colour... (This is why I prefer more muted colours to brights generally - all of the immensely variegated nuances can be so much more eloquent because less facile (obvious), thus seeming deeper to me...) Aaaanyway.... Thanks again mon amie!

It's a cosmic combo, "encourage" and "corrupt"--kind of like real life! You juggle them so well.

Bonjour Lynn!

Your banana sticker card arrived safe and sound yesterday: thank you very much, and merci beaucoup. It does seem to be a labour of love (for bananas? for Dean?) and I wonder how big will the eventual thing be?

Yes, your Summer in Sigean piece did arrive. And it was exhibited. And admired. I'm sorry that I did not acknowledge it at at the time, but I was overwhelmed (still am, but with other art projects). I received over 550 envelopes for the Summer exhibition, making it one of the largest in Europe this summer.

I got so far behind in writing thank you's -- and I soon realised that I couldn't afford to send written thank yous, on cost grounds, as I originally intended -- that I just posted some photos of the exhibition panels.

Naughty of me, I know...but if you'd like to join in & write about 400 other thank you's, I'd welcome your help.

Thought not!

Anyway, thanks again & regard, Val

your Zack sighting/mail landed today my friend..Thank You its great

Hi Lynn, I hope you are well. Cowboy Willie arrived and he and Butchie Barnes are a big hit in the Bunk House. Many thanks:

Hi, Lynn

The artist Jean-Francois Aillet invites you to collect your sample of sand from a moraine, from next to a waterfall or beside a river, along the shore of a lake or a stream, in a desert or on the border of an ocean. One should not, however, send him sand from a construction site. You are asked to document your collection of the material with a photo, taken as you are pouring the sand into a container. For an example, kindly visit his home page at www.aillet.com . English : http://www.aillet.com/traductions/anglais.htm

See you to take part in this international project.

Lynn, I just saw you on the main page, don't try to deny it. And it's good to see you. The bullet-riddled Keep Out sign you sent still has a very prominent place on my wall. It's in my top 10.

Thank you, Lynn.

Hello! I just received some new mail from you, thanks so much. Yeah I'm still at it. Ever since I got the ball rolling it's just gathered more and more speed as it goes down that hill. Trying to make as many thing as possible. Will send something new to you very soon.

Hey Lynn,

I blogged your Dole Mandala....

Dave

"...It's a great way to share inspiration..." A bit of mine is in the way to Marigold st. Thank for your banana post!

Yes, Lynn ... Val roped me into the Vinyl group yesterday and I did put the "Another Time" piece there: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/group/vinyl-art ... glad you like it! Cheers.

Yes, I did send you something, Lynn but I'd better not take credit for it until I know what it is....

Thanks for the kind offer, Lynn. Unfortunately I'm currently unemployed, which is good for playing in this avocational space, but doesn't allow me to afford snail-mailing. :(  However, all my work here is copy-free, if you'd like to print anything out and make it your own. :)

No, no, no....your line is supposed to be, "Perhaps THIS will refresh your memory." Said with a lawyerly flourish...Yes....that's mine....After I scanned it I tarted it up a bit. 

Uh oh...The Banana Hat....

:-)))

Hello Lynn! Sent you mail today. Cheers!

Hello from Greece, nice to meet here, too.
