Incredible Green Cat Company

i recieved these goodies from the folks at the Green Cat Mail Art Project, along with a wonderful treatise on Mail Art and the extension into "Poster Art", some of which i'll quote here:


"In the public spaces of the capitalistic world any free cultural expression could apparently disturb the cash-flow and is hence put under the ban of all sorts of laws and reglementations. ... To placard means to make a donnation of a piece of art to unknown receivers, an act of potlatch, which the big business and its governmental stooges jalously intend to exclude all others from."

and with that encouragement, i believe i'll go out and post the large 'stickers' around the 'hood and make some more of my own to post:

Director's Cut

Rod Kretlow made a set of cards collaged from trimmings of his watercolor paintings. they were all so beautiful i couldn't even choose! this is the one i got.

from MANUZ

the originals of these two got lost in the mail so marvelous MANUZ sent me a nice copy of her original Frida drawing and her own card from a three-person jam we did with CZ Lovecraft. i hope her first batch shows up some day so i can return them to her! i guess that's one of the dangers of the wonderful world of mailart!

just an update

i don't have web access at home these days so i've been a bit behind uploading images. a few of my last scans came out crooked and i didn't notice until i was uploading things. i'll get them re-scanned and posted soon.
