Dispatch: A Mail Art Show

mail art, sacramento, second saturday, bodytribe, march 13

The flyer is complete for the show next month. We’re getting excited about all the art we have (and what’s still coming in).

Some things are worth vomiting for

I was reading the novel ‘Gator a-go-go’ by my favorite author Tim Dorsey, and came across a funny line when two charachters were talking and one said that “some things are worth vomiting for” and the other charachter replied, “I think I’ve seen that crocheted on a pillow.” I guess this is more like hand stitche or embroidery… I don’t… I don’t know these things, but I thought I should bring this imagery to life. not sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but here it is freshly stuffed. enjoy.

Got any scratched up CDs/DVDs?

I’m working on an installation piece and am hunting for CDs and/or DVDs.

Let me know if you have any scratched up ones that are just laying around the house taking up space, that you would be willing to donate to a reduce, reuse, recycle piece.

Playing in SF

SewJaboy and I hung out in San Francisco this weekend and had fun taking goofy pictures in the park. In case you are curious what we look like, here they are…

SewJaboy

and me, Owl_Or_Nothing

working . . .

here is a pic of me (SewJaboy) working on a new flag to replace the other one. I think it’s going to have something to do with infected blood cells or something. I don’t know, that’s what it reminds me of so far. so i cut out an Rx stencil too.

and here is a pic of the boxing gloves before we put ‘em out.

Sad News from Sara Jane & Co.

Sara Jane (of Sara Jane & Co.) just reported to us that the flag in front of her store is no longer. Bummer!

Windsock sighting!

I was just informed that a windsock is still hanging near tapa the world! that’s it…. that’s all i got… it was exciting to hear at the time.
