Red spash and cutting black.

This minimal piece arrived in Greece from Eduardo

with a message: " OCORTE SEM SOLUCAO"

google translated: "Without a cutting solution"

or perhaps: " Without a sharp solution"

'Love the splashing, and the A4 format.…

Toby Tweet 124--Toby the basset hound seems to have inspired this VisPo that is a cross between a shopping list, todo list, holiday greeting card, personal journal, illustration of English as a second third and fourth language, manifesto, invention log-ideas that ended up on the scrap heap,  commentary, comic monologue, proof that our brains work like predictive text…

I wonder how Mona would have reacted back then had she known the extent of her future fame. Which woman has provided more inspiration, undergone more transformations through the ages? Cheryl once again found the perfect starting point for a mail art call. What is an original artwork?

There is only one Mona, yet there are millions of it. There…

I have been waiting for the third of Cheryl's Dream Series (but not necessarily the chronological third) for several weeks. This forced awake state was well worth going through, because the dive into the next dream is just priceless. With this book we are leaving the House on the Hill and the Castle for a while, and the detective story is put in brackets. Instead, we…

A card from Picasso Gaglione (Chicago - USA) with on it Alison Knowles, Darlene Domel and Myself. A performance we did in April 2010 at the Stendhal Gallery in New York Ciry. He took this photo. Very nice to see these memories back in the mail with the funny rubberstamp attached to it.

Christmas arrived early this week in the form of a brown paper package not tied up with string but it certainly contained a few of Nancy Bell Scott’s favorite things. 38 of them, in fact. All carefully annotated and laid out like specimens from a Library of Congress collection. There are bits of string, rust, a rock from Mexico and Nancy’s drugs of choice:…

I immediately liked this series when I saw one of Prettylily's cards on Katerina's blog. I think it's a great thing to do with colorful paper, I might "borough" the idea for some Christmas cards :-) Thank you Prettylily!!

My first card from Kerri Pullo. I hope you can see if from the photo, the colors and texture are fantastic. I could spend hours checking her "sent" folder at IUOMA, I'm a big fan of her work. Thank you for sending, Kerri!…

I was ecstatic to receive this envelope from Marie. It says, "Hi DK You have so many TrashBooks, I thought you needed a TrashBookmark. (The other piece is data collected from my mice, cells in the brain that are active during a memory task. Maybe Trash...) I couldn't believe I might be the first and only recipient of original Marie Wintzer Trashpo!!

I…

some new rubber from E in France arrived. I already printed it onto some envelopes that will go out next weeks....…

To continue with the story, I changed my socks, (well actually only one of them) and then took the clamps off the tree.  The tension was so great from the 99 rubber bands that it jumped into the air, did three twists and landed standing straight up.  Amazing!  On closer inspection, the tree took a new form.  Wow, I like it even better than before.  Transforming Mail Art, who would have thought of it other than Katerina Nikoultsou!  Bravo!…

Thank you Val for the two headed beer.  Both with foam?…

The echo of my two words arrived back from South Africa. Thank you …

Heleen de Vaan sent me this envelope with the lovely IUOMA rubberstamp in it. Thanks so much. What I do with a gift like that? Use it on all the new envelopes that go out connected to the TAM Rubberstamp Archive and the first one goes out to Heleen:…
