The family puzzle / Tapestry of life - from Cheryl Penn

Another super-galactico mail from Cheryl Penn has made it to my lucky mailbox. No angry in here, says the envelope (laugh!). I hear you, Cheryl...

The puzzle of family unfolds, complex and rich, beautiful and mysterious. This is another one of those pieces I just couldn't stop taking pictures of. Gorgeous!…

Big time flâneur the Crimson G has landed

This was a very much awaited envelope. In fact I had lost all hope of ever seeing the face of Cheryl's Giant. Do you know how long He has been on the road for? Three months! Where has He been all this time? Oh well, I guess they didn't call Him a flâneur for nothing, there must be an abundance of things to see between South Africa… Continue

I am not the red giant - from Cheryl Penn

Seek - from Karen Champlin

Another piece of Karen's Bad Art closely followed the first one. Just kidding :-)), this is an awesome and very special piece, Karen.

It's funny how cardboard and paper can turn into powerful imagery. I see the search for a Treasure Island. The cardboard sea is covered with grids, calculations, estimates, routes. All of them leading to the Island of K, if everything goes well and the winds are favorable. I'm quite sure I won't get lost,… Continue

Art so bad... - from Karen Champlin

I can see it coming, De Villo is going to say that Marie is getting all the good stuff again :-) And he'll be right!

I know how difficult it must have been for Karen to deliberately make bad art (I got another envelope from her today, and Karen is not kidding her people). But I keep coming back to this piece and it still makes me laugh every time. Got to love this minestrone of Sponge Bobs, virgins (probably),… Continue
