    Your birthday booklet was hilarious.  Thanks for making my day!

  • cheryl h.

    Great David! Happy you could partake of them, in an arty sort of way.

    Were you trying to outdo yourself or did it just happen? Dave, I'm so bestowed-upon and humbled by your huge handmade envelope carrying enough materials to open a completely new path in my work + life. It may require an additional table in here! Looking through it, at each piece, has been a fantastic experience. And will be again.... Thank You, Dave. We crossed m.a. this time, though mine to you wasn't quite as large; at least physically, she said humbly.

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    There is always room for someone else's unusable stuff. It qualifies as exotic.

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    I'm sorry, but cucumber dip would be better with jetsam. Maybe aim for 7 C's, which has a pleasant historic ring not to mention additional alliteration.  

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    I wish you would. It'll be dark by then so you won't glimpse the beach, but you don't need to, with the sea in your office and all.

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    That's a very sane impulse for this time of year, minus the rubber cement part. Let me know when you get in at the Portland jetport and are out of Security.

    Hi David,

    Did it really arrive today (Jan 18th at 5:24p.m.)? considering it's only 1pm here now....I'm thinking it's someone else's time. Maybe it arrived yesterday?  I'm confused, but I'm often confused.  Hey, I don't blame you for forgetting about the knee thing.  It was a while back. And I understand your thinking you might have offended me (kind of, sorta) since I didn't respond.  It's just that once I was out of that darned contraption that they had me in to immobilize my whole leg, I had to get going with therapy and then I went back to work...and so on and so on.  Things are slow right now so that's why you see me here more often than before, that and the fact that I don't always sign out (my bad) and so it looks like I'm here when I'm not. In any event thank you for letting me know cochino arrived---hopefully in decent shape since he didn't have to travel far.

    Greetings David! Just returned to your wondrous blue MA - Thank You so much for sharing some of your creative history with me... Happy 2014! xxo, C

    lol - sounds wonderful! Frigging great pic/love it! (Can I post it on my FB page if I credit you?)

    Mmm, and love your verbal pose too ma cher %_^

    Sounds quite interesting anyway though. Do I have to go to Washington?

    Thanks again!

  • Claire (aka Cleo)

    Sorry, should be: "mon cher" (tasty gender-bent on the mind... %_^)

  • Claire (aka Cleo)

    ha ha ha ha ha!!! (You're a gas cher! ^_^)

    I believe this is from you! Thanks! - JIM.

    David, looking rather late but CAN'T find my breasts in blog.

    Oh well, easy come easy go.

    David--i can't find the pic of the blues and off whites CD you sent. You really don't want to know why, but I need a copy

  • vizma bruns

    Muchas gracias, Dave, for the AAArt, yes, it deserves capitals and extra AAAs! I got it on Wednesday but didn't open it until today, I was having fun just looking at the magic healing toaster oven and cape, etc. I grab my fun where I can these days. Then, inside the env was more fun to be had, I've had hours of laughs already and I'm doing my card on my back exercises now. Love it! Thanks mate!! xxx

    I hope you listened to some shamelessly upbeat Abba and snapped right out of that mood:) glad you liked the video, it really is fun making them as a part of this ongoing art dialogue we are having that i dearly cherish. And I'm not just saying that because I'm enchanted.  I know what you mean about the password thing. It can really drive a person nuts and I'm not one of those people who keep them in a neat notebook or something. Only earth signs are that organized (Virgos, Taurus, and Capricorns) enjoy your weekend:)

    you a shrinking violet?  can't see that. Never been to toastermasters since I'm not much of a toasteater, i never saw the need.  But good for you facing your fear--if you are purposely going for laughs then it doesn't hurt so much when people laugh at you.  It creates that bit of doubt that acts as a buffer.  it's like a bumper sticker we once had that said "honk if you are Irish" then we'd get all irrate when people would honk until we remembered that was on our car. 

  • jon foster

    Thanks so much for your newest mail art. You should get getting a couple zines in the mail any day now. We're having a lot of bad weather in NC right now so things may be a little bit slower than usual. TATA!

  • Rebecca Guyver

    Is the hilarious book letter from you? Stamps not franked and seems like your sense of humour?  Is this my banana mailing?  Fabulous!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, David! The banana art is great!

    and will post at Bananas group. xxx

  • Carina

    Mail-art arrived! Tool-using man/Man using tool. Thank you, David!

  • vizma bruns

    Snap! I just received your belated birthday card! And I thought you were just kidding about sending a belated card, ya know, Cheque's in the mail- type of thing. What a ripsnorter 'bumpy night of Bette with a chin growth' card! Thanks for the gem of a card! No need to blog mine, relax and cross it off the to do list. Although, if you do blog it in 2024, I'll be reminded of what I sent you. Cheers.

  • DKeys

    lol--I know-googling yourself is very weird. my original idea was to create vizpo out of it but it ended up having to be a cut up.  All those things DID turn up, but just didn't fit the black and white theme of the mail art. I believe I saw that speedo pic of you used on an advertising for CanCun Vacations, so you might want to look into that.  We are what google tells us we are

  • DKeys

    perfect background for my underappreciated art--is that all the likes I got?  there goes my confidence back down to poverty level.  the whole piece looks very pretty actually and would look very nice in a frame.  A frame made of garbage.

  • Dan Landrum

    Sorry David, I updated this image ( http://iuoma-network.ning.com/photo/riffing-sally-mann-candy-cigere... ) before noticing your comment "Nice Juxtaposition...toxic culture comin' and goin'" ... thanks for the feedback!

  • Dan Landrum

    Nice one, David! ... it's your movie now:

  • Dan Landrum

    RE: David's brand ...

  • Lynn Radford

    Did you send an anonymous post my way recently? You are my first guess... if it wasn't you, I'll really have to give it some thought. Sad, because my brain is in a lazy mode these days! :)

  • Lynn Radford

    Ring any bells?

  • Lynn Radford

    LOL! Fair enough, but I can't take the bells back now....

    Loving the digi-edition!

    You continue to delight children of all ages! :)

    Thank you!

    It more than makes the impending Banana Hat worth it!

  • Lynn Radford

    I'll try my best to ensure its stylishness, so as you won't be embarrassed to don it for a photo op upon receipt. :)

    How long did Dean give me? A year? It might take that long, or longer....

    I'll be sure and send something else in the meantime.

  • Dan Landrum

  • Lynn Radford

    Finally managed to get your piece worked into a real, live blog post! You can read it here: http://trashbubblesandlifeslittlebits.wordpress.com/2014/05/05/in-t...

    Thanks again for the most Punny Art to grace my mailbox in ages! :)

  • Jay Block

    Thanks for all the mail recently, the Dogs of War arrived.  Been away from my scanner the last month or so.  Gallery sitting  a western exhibit... Frank Tenney Johnson did your neighborhood in moonlight... lone cowboys and big sky... I will post soon the great work you have sent... many thanks again.

  • Claudia Garcia

  • borderlinegrafix

    I had fun, thought about doing a Pelosi "leg-a-see" but decided it might turn people away from the light.
