These pages are from old Xmas catalogues made in the past to amuse friends and relatives, now i can share afew pages with my blog. These items are NOT for sale so please don't send money or enquiries to the addresses shown - they are pure fiction!
You obviously didn't read the small print Roger! The Beatles postcards book is out over here too and doing well in the "book charts" it seems, though not seen a copy yet in a store. A Sunday supplement had some extracts from it recently. It wasnt "mail art" by any stretch of the im agination but still fascinating if you have a soft spot for the fab four, which I do. They created the soundtrack to my youth and whenever I play any of their LP's now the hairs on the back of my neck still tingle, even after all these years! (can you have tingling hairs?) Just found some Los Lobos MP3's at their official site leslie but you probabaly know it.www.loslobos.org Nice live versions of Rosa maria,Farmer John (the old premiers number) and several others mostly recorded in SF strangley enough.
A kind of diary, a log, a ramble, nothing to do with the Flowerpot Men. My life as an artist, a collagist, a rubber stamper, a networker, a collector of all sorts , a letter writer and a postcard maker. Observations about this and that in no particular order.
I grew up in the home counties around London during the 50's and 60's. Went to several art schools including Southend ,Chelsea and Manchester. Trained as a painter and printmaker but now mostly using collage. Collect postcards and old mail art amongst other things too numerous to mention.
