<p>and Valentine Mark Herman in France does all kinds of art</p>
<p>on slides, cassette tapes, floppy discs, CDs , vinyl (he has a "group" here for "Vinyl Art")</p>

<p>I do what I call "media-on-media." Basically: using things like paint paper stamps and such and applying them directly onto the media of the cassette tape, for starters! I am in love with cassette culture and mixtapes as a form of 90's era folk art-this cd idea, is just too good!!! Thank you for this post perhaps some day we might attempt an exchange, tape for disc??? It is also beautifully done.</p>

<p>I have not yet mailed out any tapes, but I do also do headphones, small musical instruments (a marocca, a cowbell, a children's sized xylaphone, also other media like my old flip phones, VHS tapes,</p>
<p>I just painted like 15c pairs of aviator glasses white for some reason...WHY? I got nothin')</p>
<p>I'm working slowly now with vinyl both the actual discs and all the beautiful paperwork and cardboard cover art. </p>
<p>Mail art loves music! Who was it made the rubberstamp in the 70's that reads "endless music?" I'll have to go check my files. Anyways, here are a couple pics of the 2 I'm just beginning to layer up with base coats! I make them down and dirty with neons and spatter-you in contrast are so elegant and you thus bring the whole concept and practice to a level I've not ventured into, I was a teen in the 90's so I'm still doing the garage rock aesthetic I guess...</p>
<p>Thanks again & AWESOME WORK!
