Bifidus Jones's Blog – October 2011 Archive (8)

Received from Cuan Miles, South Africa--Oracular Air

Cuan has a wonderful gift for adding transparent layers to mail art. I like the flowing hair, the text, the soft paint strokes, the tape, and the faint dates conjuring up past and fleeting moments.…

Received from Richard Canard, USA--Goose Island Classic

Richard does have a point. He always has a point, a thought to ponder. Let's not stockpile anything. Let's run out of stuff and see what that feels like. Liberated, if we're lucky. Richard also sent me some terrific buffalo logos:…

Received from Georgia Grigoriadou, Greece--Maiden of the Sea
