A recent and all-time favorite in the crushed can department, posing as the Big Dipper and then a flower:    And handsome rusty lids!: And a light…

He looks only slightly possibly a relative of Timothy Leary, but that can't be it. Is he your Uncle Jack? My Uncle Jack doesn't look enough like him: 

Help.

Here is another collage by Erni, whose collages are really appealing to me:

There's…

Fantastic collages--they knocked my sox off.

Next come the latest crushed cans from Erni, always a thrill, and in this group the one at the upper right especially kills me. It is so flat--flatter than usual--and some of it seems to be…

Erni sent me a couple of things over the last three months:

In his urban explorations, he picks up things he knows I'll love and sends them. These include numerous beautiful squashed cans from the street, a few of which are shown above, most especially the exquisitely rusted one which has "RUST NEVER SLEEPS"  on the lid--the lid still attached and not imploded!

It makes a great noise, and I have no idea how Erni got the one lid into the other. There are no obvious signs of…

Starting with this special favorite:

Who doesn't need fake binoculars? You wait for them your whole life, but they rarely show up. In that package Erni also included a "moving sculpture," which can be seen in these instructional photos he sent with it: …

Giant candy bar. It's gone now. DeLISHious! Erni collaged the whole thing so tight that I wanted to take a hammer to it, BUT that would have destroyed the collage. You can see what's left--rather interesting things going on in Erni's brain, I'd say, probably…
