Thank you once again Carl for the wonderful 'Zine, xeroxes, ART!

[Hilary Konrad]

I love this guy's stuff and way of thinking, what can I say? He sent me some stuff, I sent him some back and here today I get in the mail a full size 'zine made up of more of his great stuff, plus a lovely postcard and a kind and friendly note. How does he do it so expediently and yet not miss a beat quality wise? I can only hope to measure up one a these stinkin' days it takes me forever to achieve a fraction of his precision...! Thanks again Carl, right back at you in good time...H.

Sometimes the "old ways" are the best.  You used to have to already be in the network, or pore over an issue of Factsheet 5 or Global Mail to find those who worked in the Xerox medium.  Some of the clunkiest old zines are still examples of the best in Mail Art.

Since is it a form of printmaking, I've always been fascinated with any and all such office equipment.  I was fortunate to have been employed in an office when still a teenager where once in awhile, I’d “experiment” with “cut & paste” on a print that went through the copier more than once.  Wish I still had some of these now 40+ years old experiments.
