Jon, that's good news. Extending it beyond the "peak" years of Punk opens it up to a lot of good work and styles. Most of what I have would technically be post-punk - years when Seattle was a center for music (Grunge and Alternative) and, yes, mail-art too - they crossed over pretty extensively. I have a lot of Seattle stuff - quiet there these days it seems. Excellent!

I'd already planned to make this group, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I have a lot of punk zines from the late 90's that I can look through to see if there's anything usable there.

Johnny "Rotten" Foster - maybe we can set up a punk exhibit in one of the discussion groups - sounds like people have some great collections and images from the era.

A great place for all of this stuff is with punk rock zines and what not, from around that time. The newly released complete Touch and Go zine has some wonderful stuff like this. Any band that existed in the 80's had some Reagan collage with buildings falling, etc. I need to unearth some of this and add some pictures.

Jeez Bifidus, that is a classic. It was still considered underground and subversive - and there was an explosion of it in the '80s - Midwest was a vital center. I still haven't figured out why. I did not know about this one in Youngstown. This stuff fascinates me. I wonder if it could fit into the recycling thing. Seriously - thanks for sharing.

Found some old FaGaGaGa punk art while looking for something else in my collection:<br />

To use such a famous photograph--FaGaGaGa has guts, that's for sure. And then I came across this one:<br />

DVS, you and Jon should definitely start an IUOMA punk art group. It'll give some of us old farts something to reminisce…

Hi Marie - thanks - strange stuff. I was really surprised in the "Less is Real" piece to find that bit of sort-of minimalist poetry that is so similar to Fluxus word things - I hadn't looked at these things in a very long time - total coincidence. I guess ideas have been "in the air" longer than we realize. See what people send me? You get all the good stuff :)

Fascinating stuff you got in your archives!! No, really! :-o<br />
That softer punkNouveauX card you received is quite cool. A bit less "in your face" and still high impact.

Yes, those are 3D specs...and it's kind of an inside joke. I got those specs at the Nasher Museum in Durham NC, where I saw an exhibit about music and fine art.
