THANK YOU! Mass Blog (Suus In Mokum, ARTLIKEART, Carina Granlund, Dean Marks, Stephanie Blake, Guido Vermeulen, Erica Durante AND Mim Golub Scalin!)

Suus In Mokum had the unfortunate duty of reminding me that I had let summer take over my life, neglecting to blog or even say, "Thank you!" for some of the wonderful mail that has been gracing my humble box these days. Embarassed, but glad to have been put back on track, I am here now to shout out to all of you amazingly wonderful folks!

Beginning with Suus... she's been patiently waiting since June, to hear if I'd received this lovely piece...

Artlikeart, sent me one of the prints from her "letterpress reign!" Simple, elegant and punny!

Guido's envelope art, "Breathing Polluted Air Blues," was a treat that made my soul happy, oddly enough.

Erica Durante delighted me with this piece of trashpo/receiptpo. I loved the inclusion of the library receipt and bit of russian text. The security envelope print cloud was a bit serendipitous, as I have been working with the stuff a good bit these days...

I love the minimalism of "Color Study #16" from Mim Golub Scalin! A most excellent composition to be sure! :D

Dean Marks' affinity for barcodes is known far and wide. Imagine how delighted I was to find this 9"x7" piece in the mail. Upon closer inspection, I found that it did not fare so well on the trip from France... there are several spots where pieces have literally been ripped from the whole. I am interested in a glimpse of this piece prior to mailing... Maybe Dean made a scan?

The back side of Dean's piece was as interesting as the front!

No Andy Warhol fan should ever be without Campbell's Tomato Soup Can art! I have Stephanie Blake to thank for this laminated gem!

I call it like I see it and this piece is just plain FUN!

Carina Granlund's style always delights! I love the retro feel of this one:

 A BIG THANK YOU to everyone!

Now, it's back to the studio to make art! See you in the mail!

Nice blogjam Lynn with some really fine work. Wow, the Erica Durante Trashpo is fine, and I like it for the exact reasons you state.

How does Carina Granlund manage to be so thought-provoking? Just yesterday something popped into my mind from college long ago: Lewen's P x E = B: Person x Environment = Behavior.  So if you believe in the power of environment, then, yeah, a city's design could have that impact.

Nice blog Lynn.

None taken, Suus! The post did its job, it was I, who dropped the ball. As you can see, you weren't the only one left wondering. ;) Look for a return from me shortly. :D

Oh Lynn, no stress please. It wasn't meant to pressure you. Just wanted to know if the post did its job ;))
