I like to see what people are doing as art and share what I am doing. I like to meet people and get to know them. [DISCLAIMER: tho I am called a mail "artist", I 'cannot' draw due to a lack of proper mindset.]

I received your letter and excellent graphic art! Thank you! I've been in Arizona for 10 days and I'll write you and let you know the update. Love, Bonniediva
Thank you. Admittedly, I'm not at all familiar with recent research. I suppose it would be quite the cognitive feat to describe wordless thought in words. I didn't intend to attempt that...but I do wonder (fantasize even) how humans could experience it's existence in a concrete way. I don't know.
Say, Fike, your fascinating cards+note arrived, thanks a lot. Glad you liked my envelope--but you forgot to open it. Check it out. Asemic! You'll blame the oversight on your age, so I will too. Won't you post your Picasso? N.B.
That's it! The envelope looks 100% not opened, so you fooled my eyes completely. This we *can* blame on age, for starters. More than once a mail-art envelope turned out (say, a year later) to contain something I'd not realized at first. Love when that happens.
Oh, you keep sterling records, that's clear from what you sent me. You could send me your Leftwich contents from 2004 if you'd like, though, and not worry anymore about whether you responded. I could reply within, say, the current decade.
Sorry but you can't join the Groucho Marx Group. This is nothing personal, as no-one can join the Group. That's what Groucho wanted, and that's what happens. There are lots of other Groups though....
wow thanks for the message and these wonderful prints Fike! In a fantastic envelope with very nice stamps. all a treat. posting images in a few minutes. thanks again.
Thank you Fikus for the new mailing. I have come back from two weeks Holiday and hope to catch up and blog soon and respond next week to everybody. I did a lot stuff while sunbathing!
Really enjoyed receiving your cool art--thanks so much! It will be a little while till I can reply because I'm in the middle of a few projects so please don't think I forgot. My husband Dave (also on this site) liked your work so much he posted it on IOUMA Facebook. I too am sad about Steve Dalachinsky--today, September 29th, is actually his birthday...
good to hear from you! thanks for the friend invite. we moved to Hawaii to be close to family, and we love it here. hope all is well with you and yours!
Hi Fike! Thank you so much for the Mail Art and printed Art Cards. I love them! I like Sci Fi, too, but am not nearly as avid a reader as you are. Hope you are well and staying safe. Best Regards, Pam
Howdy, meye [new] ol' Bud; weiser I am now. I have received a package from you, today, 15 Feb 2021. The postmark is from last year! You may have received mail from me recently or you will imminently (or maybe in a few months time!). That envelope is not a reply to the mailing that I received today because, as far as I know right now, I am not a time traveller but time and other things may prove differently. I will reply to this one quite soon because I like it a lot and have much to say regarding it. Thank you. Mel Anie (PS. I still can't post or see images on here so you are just getting lots of words from me. Oh dear.)
My step-daughter-to-be wears a pair of Fike brand Nike knock-offs when she's not wearing the actual Nike's I bought for her last week. They always make me think of you.
Hi there Ficus, and thanks for your comment! I'm looking forward to discovering what you send my way, whenever that happens to be! I'm adding your address to my list, so you can expect something in your mailbox as well.
Hi there Ficus! Thanks so much for the delightfully decorated envelope of art and your letter! My reply will be headed your way in tomorrow's outgoing mail. Happy Sunday!
Thanks for the mail, Fike, hope you are not overeating the polar bear liver! Like pennyroyal, I hear it can be toxic... I am finally getting caught up with mail after being away for a couple weeks. See you in the mail.
