vispo stamping

 Mikel's stamps and colour is always appealing. Look carefully at the textures of his stamps and the way colour seems to glow out of them. He is a true collaborator, enclosing a few  add and pass sheets in each of his letters (3). I think I'll add a few ofmy own stamps and some of the stamps I made for Herman Kamphuis from his wonderful drawings in my return… I will return!

I believe I missed a mail art call exhibition but that's inevitable when I have mail art to blog. Maybe you took part?   I notice the energy of Mikel's mail art. Mail art is active we send it out, we receive it.  We make it...and I need to take part!  

New postcards from Daniel De Culla

Not sure if Daniel intended these for the Memories are Made of This call but he didn't specifically say, so I have decided to blog them here.  Daniel's charismatic drawings are full of stories.  Wondering if there was more I should know, I journeyed to his IUOMA page where I enjoyed looking at what looks like performance art portraits.  

I did notice that Daniel likes insects and wildlife.  The New Swimming characters seem to be playing a dangerous game.  I looked up Rosemary Menniger and discovered that there was a Rosemary Menniger of note who was the adopted daughter of Karl Augustus Menninger, psychiatrist, but I have no idea if that is relevant - to me the imagery suggests dreams. 

At the Bday of Bastards I notice how dysfunctional society seems to be; but Daniel's birthday makes me smile anyway.  Thank you! 

Haptic detritus from Pedro in Spain

The texture and subject matter of Pedro's transparent postings are fascinating. This one has great shapes too.  I even got a black hair trapped under the tape with this one. Pedro's mute sound project continues.  It is sheer laziness on my part not to contribute. I will try! Thank you Pedro.
