I got these great Arty Slides from Stephanie Blake today. DKult Shrine and Trashy Girls. I love the Trashy Girls, I think I knew them in college. 

If you think that the 12-12-12 End of the World Project has died a quiet death, think again brave souls ... for the enigmatic UK artist Simon Warren this past week has added 10 new chapters to his ongoing saga of the end of London as he knows it. Stay tuned for all 10 chapters being posted this coming Friday on the 12-12-12 End of the World Blogspot!

I've been spending some sacred time on mail art lately....I need to have art in my life. Until now it has been most difficult since I had no 'place' to go, to enjoy my friend called "Mail Art". Up until now, every time I wanted to make mail art, or any art for that matter, I had to gather all my supplies, paper, paints, bits and bob's and camp out on the dinning room table and then take it all down just in time for dinner. I'm sure there have been many other's who…

Suus In Mokum had the unfortunate duty of reminding me that I had let summer take over my life, neglecting to blog or even say, "Thank you!" for some of the wonderful mail that has been gracing my humble box these days.

This card is actually 35x27cm and full of wonderful lino cuts/stamping, very appealing! Thank you Josh.

This morning I had to do my administration and amongs the blue envelops (tax) and bills I found this wonderful envelop, designed by Guido Vermeulen. It is his interpretation of the Belgium flag. Is it my imagination or do I really see a doggy on the right, cats in front of the red and other creatures studying the flag?

Mail Art with surprises, I love it. Dank je wel,…

Theresa wrote a note which accompanied her beautiful book - which I really appreciate.  I know post modernism allows us free reign interpretation, but sometimes I think manners disappear in that wake. I always remain intensely curious about the first voice - the voice of the author/artist.

Theresa writes that she was excited to see I was interested in the idea…

Mr Spongebob is visiting Finland, have to admit I don't know much about him.. but his look and eagerness makes me smile! Great drawing Thom, thanks!…
