| False Memeory
for Jeroen |
| False Memory is my newest series. This one was for Jeroen
Teunen. It also uses elements from Couldn't Close Object
File
below. In my mind history, technology and errors are interconnected. |

Months ago, while cruising through Dan
Waber's site, the server tossed me an error and for some
reason I saved the page. I've begun using it in some
of my mail art dealing with errors. |

| A Superhero for Latuff |
|
I
made this card back in December using an Ultraman action figure
I had brought back from Tokyo a couple years ago. Whenever
I
see
one of Latuff's
wonderful monster stamps I get the urge to call on Ultraman
to save the day! |

Games
These cards each have an English word on
them that's been cut in half, leaving only the bottom portion
of the letters visible. The type is Futura Condensed Medium.
I wonder what word(s) people will see.
Some of them may not be what you think they are. I'm not posting
any sort of answers anywhere because I think what the actual
words are is not nearly as interesting as what they could
be.
I mailed a large
percentage of these cards to mail artists outside
the
USA, to countries where English is not the primary language.
How many words
in other languages could these be?
The elements on the lower half and verso
are words also, typed in Bodoni Ornaments. |

| The Whole Picture
This piece of digital artwork was created
to go to performance artist William Pope.L; it revisits the
I am as Black as a Yellow Shoe series. In
addition to sending it to him, whole, I sliced it up into
15 individual postcards that were mailed out, rather randomly,
to mail artists
worldwide
- just for the fun of it.

Oh
My Yo! and Flummox U
 These cards are part of two new
projects that are loosely related. Eight of them went
out yesterday, October 4.
Flummox
U is a series of designs that I've been developing and have
begun selling
as shirts, et al. I love these. I love watching people
look at them. You can see their brains working to make connections
but the expressions on their faces lets me know "Flummoxed
You!"
It's even better when two or more people in the room know
there is no meaning - and the person looking says, "Yeah,
I get it. Cool." You can't help but bust out laughing.
I am so easily amused. Maybe I should have that looked at.
By the way, Flummox is
a real word, and has been among my favorites for years. Flummox
U - half the fun is not getting it!
Oh My Yo! is a longer story. |

Help for Hurricane
Katrina
In working out my own personal anger
and frustration over the situation in New Orleans I designed
this postcard and sent
it to our President. (click on images to view larger versions)
 
But that was not enough. I am so disgusted
by the lack of leadership during this crisis that I then designed
other cards which I made into T-shirts and am selling
with ALL
proceeds going directly to Habitat
For Humanity. Every cent.
Show your support and your unhappiness with the response - buy
a shirt today!
   
Click here to order yours!
Please forward this link to everyone
you know! And if you care to - link it from your blog or web
site!
All
proceeds ($5.00
per shirt!) will go directly to helping those who need it.
Thank you!!! Let's let all those suffering people to know
that they are not forgotten!

More Mailboxes to RF Côté
Another little contribution to his Mailbox
Call. |

St. Clair and
the Exchange Rate
 This
piece was born in response to a card I received from Geof
Huth, on the back of which he had written the word: cracked.
So the piece started with the idea of cracked but took
on its own life until it became this digital piece incorporating
my favorite saintly statue, St. Clair, Patron Saint of
Television, and the currency exchange board from a Bureau
de Change in Montréal. Then I made three variations
of it, one for Geof, Pati Bristow and Kiyotei. |

I enjoy creating pieces
for Jeroen as we trade perspectives on terrorism and the media. |

Gameboy - Series
These cards began as an ATC
for Kiyotei's Virus Art Call. I didn't like how the art was
reproducing at the ATC size so
I scrapped that and made postcards instead. |
