Artistic BLock

How does one get over that Wall that can be around ones creative mind?  I do not know if it is because I am in a knitting frenzy or that I have hit a level of my art that I am now ready to step up from.  What do you do when you become blocked?

Blue tape- ATCs from Karen Champlin and MinXus stamps from Dark wall

 

I have several blue tape envelopes from Karen Champlin. I don't really know what Karen and De Villo's blue tape collaboration really is about, but I take it as a seal of quality :-)) Her ATCs are pocket-size masterpieces. Extremely well crafted. I love the neatly punched holes on those (and the A inside!). Every time I see them I think yes, she truly is the…

Mystery submission for 12-12-12 End of the World Project

 

Today, I received a fantastic -- albeit mysterious -- submission for the 12-12-12- End of the World Project. On the frontside of the card, there's a great image as you can see... on the backside, a great flash story!  If the person who sent this feels comfortable enough to contact me, please do so.  I'd love to talk to you about this piece.  (Unfortunately,…

FULL FRONTAL NUDITY FROM KDJ

It's not often we receive full frontal nudity in our mailbox here on Alamo Drive. Especially when it concerns the mail of the species. But KDJ goes boldly where others fear to tread and besides she's merely recording an actual historical event: The Day Johnny Walker Left His Pants at Home. Much like Lady Godiva's famous ride without her extensive PR team, Johnny Walker's Walk, as it's known in the deep, deep impenetrably deep South, was one of those watershed events that turned the tide.…

Arte postale de Japan

Ultra-wonderful letter from Marie Wintzer. It's poetic and threedimensional with this red ribbon and a beautiful picture of a japanese woman is crossed by layers of text weaved into it. Fantastic, really!! I'm happy to have it and looked at it full of admiration. 

Thank you so much!

 

Here more picture to see its beauty: …

Urban experiment from CP-SA

Just got a wonderful art out of the mailbox: Urban experiment from Cheryl Penn. It is a more than usual wide card to open up. There it a town (Zalop city??) and huge letters announcing the experiment. The texture is wonderful, thick paper, as if there might be something in between the inside and outside... The edge is whiped (??) with this iconic red filament CP and Marie use…

Great MA from Samuel Montalvetti

This handsome mail art card is fantastic, I love it, along with the delightful booklets: I've seen some of Samuel's ultra-tiny fluxus and asemic books elsewhere, and coveted them.

Also enclosed is a [ ... ] cool add+pass envelope (I.D. credit: Lesley Magwood Fraser).  thank you for everything, I'm so pleased to have MA from you ~…
