Little Bit of Everything From Cecil Touchon

This envelope came today including some asemic writing (asemic group/concept in general makes me think of the movie "Crumb" and his brother who got more and more lost in scribbles and concentric circles. Not in any way making a comparison regarding the fact that he was mentally ill so hopefully you know what I'm saying). Also a TX lottery ticket, some paper ephemera and a poppers… Continue

Two Great Pieces from Erni

So how is it that the US came to be known for hamburgers? This minimalist card made me laugh. The other "Young Star Fest" has a good theme as well. The back says Bon Appetit or actually "buon appetito and Guten Appetit". Love the torn out section adding an even more layered effect. Thanks Erni-you're spoiling me with all this mail but I'm not… Continue

Off Scene Akademie Enrollement form from the Haptic Werewolf

Corrugated Haptic piece arrived with .45 postage due because of a postal worker who obviously failed math. My wonderful postman paid the difference out of his own pocket so he is now a patron of the arts. Ernie, I hope I am able to enroll in the Off Scene Academie. I don't quite have the wardrobe for it but I can work on it!! Thank you Ernie getting art from you always makes the day roll smoother…

Werewolf Bonanza this week from Erni Bar!

I have been so lucky over the past week to receive all these haptic pieces from the most enlightened Werewolf I know. Ernie always uses such intriguing images for his trashpo and I laughed so hard when he sent a piece of the box I sent him back to me, along with a piece of pink duct tape I used on the same box I love the concept of morphing mail art taking on a life of its' own.… Continue
