Is KDJ missed or what? Yesssss. She sent this piece in November, as well as a most generous gift of a well-known collage book I'd not yet obtained. It became an instant favorite: KDJ, since you're not forgotten, why be gone? Ack, not to pressure, but as you can see it is sorely tempting to try. ...

KDJ started the IUOMA group "I'm Enchanted With David," and here is but…

So my home computer is still gasping its last few breaths, and I have ben WAY too busy at work to be able to get myself to the tech store to buy a new apparatus.  So I am staying late at the office in order to catch-up on posting some of the fab mail art I have received in the last month or so... (Apologies for posting things so tardily.)  This will be a sort of Blog Jam, therefore.  (I am starting to feel like a binge-blogger!)

 

I have also decided to enlist the help of an…

This is "to get you arted," and who wouldn't want to be arted?  Or *more* arted? I love more anytime, especially when it's free and art historical and romantic. This is a beautiful thing, Grigori, and are those lipstick formations we see on the face of the Haptic Werewolf? What a shock!

Here we have beauty A-N-D brains on the flip side. An Ed McMahon voice-over would be…

I remember seeing Grigori's blog post about Ryosuke Cohen, and this real piece of Hollywood memorabilia making it to Brain Cell, and I found it absolutely brilliant. It is of course Grigori's hijack of the famous Daily News…

The Off Scene Akademie At Minneapolis has issued a new and very interesting Taxonomy. I'm studying it every day ever since I found it in my mailbox, it keeps me occupied when commuting to work. There's one piece I am still struggling with. Who's…

New mail from the one and only Grigori Antonin to his devoted Marie Antonette :-))

A yellow envelope containing an A4 sheet which I will happily Pad and Ass on. And on the back of the envelope, Groot Suster (to me, every woman with blond hair in a comic = Groot Suster) is very much inspired by Mary. Now that's a twist! Usually it is rather the other way…

The other day I picked up an envelope from Le Gristaire. It wasn't for me, it was for that rock star Mère Ubu (I know there is also a Père UHU walking around, laugh!). She doesn't live here anymore but I bumped into her at the supermarket today, she says thanks!…

This week I got a bit richer. Grigori sent me these very colorful Fluxus Bucks. I had to check out what they actually are, and found a whole world of arty bucks. As you probably know there is a group dedicated to them on IUOMA and hosted by Ruud Janssen, check it out here. These seem to be from Julie Jefferies aka. ex posto facto, miss Fluxus Bucks herself. A couple of them seem pretty "done", I might send them back to…

There was a time when I thought that I would never receive another postcard from Le Grigstaire. Or at least not with that same signature of his. I was wrong, and so happy that he resumed his mailing activities, it was a great surprise to find this in my mailbox.

This piece is quite a dark one though. La Battaglia di Legnano (see below for the original painting) is quite a violent sight on its own. Like in an attempt to erase… Continue

Yesterday I got two beautiful postcards. Ever so special since they are the very first mail art to reach my mailbox. And it made me so happy.



This one is from Grigori Antonin, much obliged. Love the way the camera lens seems to be popping out from the card!

And this beautiful japonesque postard is from Jennie Hinchcliff.

Am I lucky or… Continue
