Zack's Blog (807)

sunflower seeds, the night sky, the rings of saturn and part of the alphabet... yes, sadly, future regret is inevitable. but maybe radical acceptance will soften the blow when it arrives. thanks for these cards Madisyn; see you in the mail!

is this some sort of Fluxus musical score? Ebb Yowza can certainly be Cage-y at times... 

(and hey, is SOUND VARIABLE any relation to nonlocal ? )

but wait - there's more:…

cows and other barnyard animals, a couple of acrostic poems, artistamps - who could ask for anything moo more? hey, do mooists carry little black and white books? wow thanks CMB for this treasure trove of clever creations! happy (belated) anniversary to you and…

this fun collage features the Albertina Museum, but i especially like that the red ribbon in the sky is blank. lovely composition; danke Anita!

wow - glad to know that no arrests occurred at this Fluxus Bombs event! looks like the Cascadian/Portlandia alliance is holding strong, and cool to see that the whole event (which took place on March 19 of this year) was inspired by Jon Foster. changing the world one magnet at a time and yes indeed let's Sing while we…

these two cards arrived three months ago, and sadly, still no peace for Ukraine...

Paris will always have the Tour Eiffel, but Cotignac has two Sarrasin Tours, dating back to the middle ages:…

Frida's intriguing background patterns and textures call to mind those old wallpaper rollers... thank you James, esp for the reminder on the other side of this card: 'there are no solutions at the bottom of a doom scroll'

'La Vie secrète des Mots 21' - merci Pascal tjrs impressionnant - j'ai hate de voir numero 22...

so much crammed onto this assemblage-card-board! wooden spoons, heavy cords, broken engine, acrylic/oil spills, and of course, Dean's signature ascot expertly placed around the neck of the faux Arcimboldo. a tactile delight that can be appreciated with eyes open or shut ];-) 

merci…

'Just Be Kind / It Will Heal Your Mind' - excellent words to live by. ditto for 'Join this Mail Art Convoy'. thanks Medwolf.

p.s. FYI, i'm not related to the David Zack you're looking for; all best wishes on your hunt,…

this envelope, featuring an angel and a headless figure (maybe Narcissus?) contained a twofer of oneiric collages - 'The Keeper' and 'All in a Day's Work'. thanks Melanie for all your artwork + your…

thanks for this eggstra-special collage; i'll file it under Eat Art!

so cool that Chris Ware was tapped for this!

yes Katerina this naked postcard made it through the mail safely (still catching up on Spring arrivals).

hope you are enjoying your break ]:-)

Connie writes that this bad-ass gal just might be her alter ego. the marbled papers are also delightful; thanks!

obrigada for this Tape Composition; hope you are having a lovely summer

wowie zowie a fantastic Steve Willis-themed package!

a full sheet of stamps, background info, a replacement postcard (the first one arrived slightly damaged - so thoughtful of Jack to send a replacement!), and assorted drawings. i especially like the certificate for the Volunteer Firemen for the Apocalypse - surely/sadly we seem to be in Black…

this arrived a couple months ago, but the call to End War is even more urgent now given current events...

Matisse meets Cocteau? thank you DV (or is it dv?) for this lovely textured postcard

deconstructed beach balls? even though this arrived months ago, it's very hot here these days, so that's where my mind goes... 

i love the juxtaposition of stamps on the other side - 

too bad…
