his echo re-postings are kind of like looking in a fun house mirror

and could this be considered a Fluxfish?…

Exhibit D sends off a long necked bird to deliver --

turns out we share a soft spot for LFLs, where papyrophilia + tsundoku =…

Mark sends two squares and a rectangle (an old 'Esquire' cover - and yeah, once you're in the soup, it is definitely hard to stay buoyant for long).

i have a feeling like i should recognize who that is in the drawing on the envelope; maybe someone else can clue me in?

as for the anthology artwork, looks like FOUNTAIN #2 by R. Mutt. now…

colors and textures of a world awakening, and a few hearts to boot.

spring means longer earlier warmer days are here... 

yes let's keep the mail flowing! gracias

check out these little gems; she's done it again! so satisfying.

oooh! sadly, this terrifying envelope arrived missing a few letters (see what i did there?). i checked to confirm my hunch that this should read "cannibal circus" and not something else.

i love that halloween appears to be your groundhog day, Magogo (can i call you that?)

thanks for including me in the…

spring-time tidings from Greece! because we appreciate the shape, some of us still use CIRCLES to measure/mark time. Laurie Anderson asks "is time long? or is it wide?"

this picture was taken in Vaxjo, Sweden in 1985. sad to feel the rightward tilt there lately.

toes as tar, alchemical eggs, and that reassembled face! (makes me think of 'Ex Machina').

yeah, some kind of revolution is taking place (with AI, it's beyond just digital now- cyberborg? cobot?).

the 'hot button topics' postcard made me curious... i learned that Magaluf is on the Spanish island of Majorca; Mail Art is educational. thanks…

'Rosagrafia' triptych (sanguinellos?)

after green, orange is my favorite color. 

muchas gracias Sabela

lovely collage card and an intriguing invitation to participate in 'Love Warriors', Sonia's ongoing project... i'll have to find a good spot for these hearts; stay tuned. gracias por todos 

zany envelope complete with Cascadia Artpost stamps, containing some helpful words and a little green thought experiment. i love me a good 'what if?' thank you Carien 

nice pairing - 'the mail brain' (late 20th century) and 'Fire-Blower' (1st half of the 12th century). thanks Amy 

such a cute and clever valentine! i'm filing it under 'reappropriated candy bars' 

love this old-timey "New Archives Building" card, decorated with stamp fragments.
