The Polo Mint Adventures Part 7: Suus & Val in the Rijksmuseum & Rembrandt in O'Reilly's Bar

Or have I got that the wrong way round?

Try again: Rembrandt in the Rijksmuseum and SuusinMokkum & Val in O'Reilly's Bar.

That's better.

The Polo Mint has recently been to Amsterdam. It was practically impossible to Polo Mint the newly-re-opened Rijksmuseum, but I did manage to take a few photos there.

And then went to meet up with Suus.

Ready...steady...go!…

The Polo Mint Adventures Part 6: Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark

This is The End of the Danish  series of Polo Mint Adventures, with photos from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen.

The Museum is so called because there is a large bar on every floor that offers visitors unlimited amounts of free Carlsberg beer, and when you have drunken a lot your tummy begins to rumble to the tune of 'Glytotek' -- the Danish Eurovision Song Contest entry in 1997.

Or something like that.

This Part of the Adventures begins with some Polo…

Florence was a cool woman, from Dean.

#560 from Dean. This is a guilt posting, not that i don't like it, i do, very much, and it would have been posted a couple of weeks ago, but didn't expect you to be back home so soon and thought for sure you would be traveling to iowa, who woudn't want to visit iowa, and upon your arrival we would talk about this and i would secretly be keeping notes because...as Bukowski…

A Return to Mail Art

After a long period of inactivity and wondering whether I'll ever get anything started again, today I made some mail art. I feel good. And that's saying something!



The last year has been pretty traumatic; a period of time when lots of things happened and forced dramatic changes to me and my family, all in fairly close succession, without any time for reflection or adjustment or acceptance. Some of these things created a chain reaction too, where several smaller issues escalated and… Continue

A response to a question about imagery... Use of racial content....

I had some questions regarding this imagery (from an artist friend), so I thought I'd share some of my explanation here for clarification.  

The image was taken from a book on the history of the American Civil War, which ran from 1861-1865.  The two young men in the picture are (l - r) Andrew M. Chandler and "his faithful servant

", Silas (quotes…

NANCY BELL SCOTT: Found Art

Actually I found it under my bed. Several months ago I horrified Nancy by losing her artwork immediately after it arrived and then blaming the disappearance on our overzealous cleaning person, Consuelo. Oh, I am evil to the core. Anyway, I was cleaning up the filth next to my nightstand and thar she blew, the smell of Kordite was in the air. Consuelo, forgive…

To Mrs Cheesey Potato* and many others, the COLLECTIVE THANK YOU continues.

Mrs Cheesey Potato lives just across the Impasse from me. This morning she gave me some Mail Art that I had received during my recent absence that would not fit in the Mail Box...and so I will continue with the Collective Thank You.

I will be mailing stuff to y'all when I have raised some money for stamps by disposing of my children. The Pawn Shop wouldn't take them, alas, and so I am forced to sell them. I can offer you a Special Mother's Day Three-for-Two price if anyone is…

My mother died.

On Friday 24th of May 2013 my mother died. So now starts a period of mourning for me and I won't be active here that much for some time. She died peacefully and the day before we were able to say goodbye to here. She was 82 years old. May she rest in peace.
