At 12:19am on September 28, 2011, Marie Wintzer said…: Oh, so you have been working very hard all summer! Good luck with the thesis! It will all go very well. I missed you too, and am really looking forward to having you back here and seeing new art from you.

At 7:18pm on September 22, 2011, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Bonsoir Jen! Many thanks for the Marilyn Monroe card, with all the string attached to it. Somehow it arrived intact and the French La Poste -- which isn't good at this sort of thing -- managed to read my address. The postlady was amused by it.

Hope you are enjoying your pens.

I'll be mailing you something back in the next couple of days.

Bestest, Moby

There's an area called the Waipio Valley on the big island that is almost to get around unless you have a four-wheel drive truck-thankfully my friend has one. As we were driving we ran into some wild horses in the valley who I guess smelled the sweet bananas and stuck his head into the car. Right as I took the picture the horse clamped down on my arm.

At 6:36am on August 27, 2011, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Thanks Jen. I don't know Rosie the Rivetter, but I think I get the general idea. I have a small collection of books featuring propaganda posters (from the USSR, China, Cuba, etc) and some of the images there of the role of women in traditionally 'male' industries are really interesting. I was in Moscow in 1979 at an international political science conference. Lots of Western women were promoting the feminist cause, in what was then the usual Western and agressive feminist way. We all went out on an official coach trip and saw a gang of women building/making a road. They were doing all the heavy stuff, and there wasn't an Ivan in sight. Our well-dressed, well-coiffured, well-perfumed etc Western feministists were really taken aback to see their sister Ivanovas doing all this work. It did put some of their extreme feminist ideas in a different -- dare I say more realistic?-- light. Hope you get the Master's. Hope you find a job. Bon weekend, Je Sweefoo

At 7:55pm on August 26, 2011, Neil Gordon said…: Jen. the computer ate my "friend" message! Love the work your doing! Like the retro-web images. Your thesis sounds interesting,i'm still puzzled why they wouldn't let you do pin-ups? There's a lot to write about in terms of art, history american culture,etc. Could i read your thesis some day? All the best! Neil Gorodn

At 11:53am on August 26, 2011, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Congrats! What was your thesis on? And what degree was it for -- bachelors, masters, doctorate, superstar? Do tell. Glad you're well. Time to send now, perhaps; think of moi. Bon weekend! Regards JE Sweefoo

At 5:55am on August 23, 2011, cheryl penn said…: Good news! Jen - just work into them and send them back - once they're back they will be all bound into The Plagiarist. That ok??? Nice to hear from you :-) X

At 2:55am on August 19, 2011, Thom Courcelle said…: You made me LAUGH!! You could always tie your long lumpy yarn around a telephone pole or park bench and call it a Yarn Bomb! (That's what I do sometimes!) ...Or you could make a snowman out of foam in your front yard and put it on that! With all that heat in Texas, everyone will know that you are a wishful thinker!!

At 4:43pm on August 18, 2011, Pamela Gerard said…: Jen--thanks for the mail--for a minute I thought there would be muffins inside that box! I thought you might want to cut that texas apron up for mail art...have a good one...

At 12:40am on August 18, 2011, Karen Champlin said…: WOW! Just wow!

At 3:14am on August 17, 2011, Thom Courcelle said…: Jen, your wonderful envelope came with the enclosed "beautiful" treasure book inside. Thank you dearly. I LOVE the statement that it makes with a humorous spin. You're an incredibly creative artist. Just sayin'.
All best,

At 3:13pm on August 10, 2011, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Bonjour Jen! Thanks for the latest wacky card: great fun! How did you guess my bra size? It's reassuring to know that 'All sex bombs are welcome at IUOMA'. All I can say to that is BANG! I'll be mailing you something back at the weekend (i hope). Trust you are well. Regards, JE Sweefoo

At 8:57am on August 6, 2011, Yvonne Neldel said…: Yiehah-thank you for accepting!! Looking forward to send you poetic words and figures on paper(?);) Until soon, Yvonne.

At 12:42am on August 3, 2011, 1cgqtuoblpeqc said…: it honors him to have so many people react like that!
