Collage, D-Kunst stamps & more by JOB (5Blanks) (Worthsee, Germany)

[De Villo Sloan]

Mail-art by IUOMA member JOB (5Blanks) aka Jurgen Oliver Blank (Worthsee, Germany)

July 18, 2014 - Previously, I have had the great pleasure to post work by Cristina Blank. Now, belated as ever, I am excited to share outstanding art received from JOB (5Blanks) aka Jurgen Oliver Blank. Apparently they are partners on one or more levels, and 5Blanks suggests a collective. I am not entirely sure other than that Cristina and Jurgen are wonderful correspondents. They do have an excellent website:

JOB’s fantastic collage (above) came in a very large envelope I have been compelled to scan in two parts:

FAB stamps! I note that 5Blanks have created FAB DKunst stamps: DKunst is the German chapter of DKult, the international collective of Trashpoets. Here is a close up:

Jurgen Oliver Blank also kindly included a card with a greeting. (The reverse side included information about a mail-art call that I assume is now closed):

And of course the usual suspect:

Deepest thanks to Jurgen Oliver Blank!

'Great pleasure'?! Indeed. Wait' till you get to know the other 3 Blanks
