Erni Bar sends Rustpo

Two of the latest: 

The wire thingy is a very fanciful three-dimensional piece of rustpo; it almost stands on its own. I admired a photo of it Erni posted, and voila, here it is. The rusted crushed can, what can I say, it's in the TOP 10! Thank you, Erni. Here are two recent Dharmadada collages also. The other side of the Blackout one entailed more work, I suspect, but…

Fooled again and smiling

Was the package marked "rusty iron" that arrived today and appeared to be empty mailed not long ago? Methinks it might have gotten here PRONTO due to its weight--almost lighter than the packaging paper itself, almost lighter than air. But I was fooled:

Not quite yet, though at first after snipping an end off, I found that Erni had apparently enclosed nothing.…

Apfel Keks -- "Eat Art" -- from Off-Scene Akademie at Hamburg

Ok, "Off-Scene Akademie" wasn't on the package this time, but "Eat Art" must emanate from that view and its priors. Stills of an Apple Biscuit from Germany experiencing life in OOB today: A whole.

Bite one: Bite two:…

Hamburg bottle caps, crushed cans, reptile, rope, dark pink O's, toothbrush--you name it

From Erni Bar, of course, but even extra variety:  Cameras in Maine don't like close-ups. Will Erni kindly include in a comment his photo of ALL the bottle caps laid out plainly and beautifully? It's posted now at the E.B. Fan Club, and quite wonderful.

We…

Art = Cheese

Something old and something(s) new from Hamburg

First the old from Erni, of course--a great found paper, mounted on cardboard: That part of this paper is rust-colored is yet another sign of the thoughtfulness of Erni Bar. But this isn't all! In a small round cheese box the following contents arrived:   Clay…

Can Erni get more diverse? Bread art, interactive drink art, wash art, crushed-can trashpo art, and more from the Haptic Werewolf

All in a nice (flowery, I might add) box, one of many to join the studio collection here as functional mail art:

That is scanned bread art. Each is marked on one side as bread art, and on the other side we have "part one" and "part two." They are ordinary, and hard as rocks. In person they are like quietly celebratory beacons with souls of their own. Erni posted a fine…

Erni Bar sends me passion!

Mine, that is: rusty and/or crushed cans--and this time a lid, to boot! This can, though some earlier ones compete well with it, is my very favorite so far.  Am IN love with it: It is such a beauty, I have to look at it every day. It doesn't get put away. Here is the other side of it, along with some other amazing crushed cans in this batch: …

More Hamburg street-trashpo favorites arrive in OOB !

Am I lucky or what--a really beautifully rusted iron piece, and a can crushed vertically, which hardly seems possible but Dharmadada Erni Bar found it. If it's there, he'll find it: 

Close-ups of each piece alone (other side of iron plate): …
