Mail Received - Erni Bär

[xx Jones]

Last but not least here is the second installment of the mail art I got from Erni Bär this week. Erni is getting a lot of coverage these days so I am not going to overdo it. But then, blimey, this is one productive mail artist! 

The envelope features lots of Erni stamps, but also the "E is not dead" stamp.

The back of the envelope shows a large and I believe rare (?) collage showing Erni in Picasso shirt with some Erni girls. How sweet. Where do you guys always find these images of strange and sickly looking models?

Erni sent some truly lovely presents: a full 50 page colour chocolate catalogue with golden chocolate bears on the cover, an absolutely charming photo book about "everyday dada" by Sian Bonnell, which makes me smile every time I pick it up and most importantly a collage "bio tofu".  I love Erni's bold collage style, the juxtaposition of strong colours, sparse but clever use images and (partly made up) words. Very cool! Thank you Erni, you are such a charmer! No wonder you have a dedicated fan club! And I find your Mail always inspiring - there is something especially made for you, sitting on my  desk, ready to be sent out tomorrow!

Gudrun Her Higness Herself. I'll mention You Erni as a good ambassador for her when I next time accidently meet her in the streets of Sweden.

I agree, I like that they use older models too

My mother always shops her clothes at Gudrun Sjödens as a big store is placed in Gothenburg. They have a "cultural" or arty feeling  to them and suits the cultural connaisseurs. Is she big in Germany too? (Gudrun that is, not my mother)
