FOTLabs: Mail Art 'Extreeeem' Edition

[Martin]

I've sent out a couple. Will spread the rest of them out over the next week(s).

[JustSheaNo]

Finally got one! Thanks Kristina/JustSheaNo! Yes, clowns are quite frightening. My Dad had a delayed midlife crisis and got into "clowning" for a while. Somehow it also had something to do with church. Gives me the shivers.

that is the funniest thing I have heard all week (and it's been a week of funny stuff). thank you.

When my dad pulled a mid-life, he started refinishing furniture and baking. I have seriously never tasted a better apple pie or blueberry muffin than the ones he was making en masse back in '86-'87.

Am glad you liked it. Sorry it was lo-quality, but I was working with what I got.  For the rest of you, it was an amalgam of all the direct mail advertising of clowns/magicians that I got over a two week period, cut out and glued together.

This guy was by far my favorite, if by favorite you understand most terrifying. His button says DABBY DO IT!

So scary. My Dad was "Tommy Twinkletoes" - the best part was that he had a booth at a church fair to pick his clown name, and a 3-year old created that gem...mainly because all of the others were FILTHY.

I am a bit behind on sending the rest of my Art. I have been schooled by the stuff I have received. It is all so awesome, and I want to up my game. Apologies to those of you who haven't gotten anything from me yet. It is coming.

Same here. I'm finally on a roll with some doodles though, so I should be finished sending them all out this week. !!!!!!!!!! so exciting!

[JustNicole]

Yeah, I've totally fell off of the wagon with this. However, I will be sending my art out. Oh, I will.

[emma]

I'll be sending a few of these out this coming week! Also Canada Post has stopped delivering my mail to my apt. again, because they hate me, so I am going to go pick up all my mail from the past like three weeks on Monday. Maybe I will get some art! Whee!

[senorcorazon]

After a particularly hairy week at work (and I ain't just talking about the naked people getting on and off the elevator) I got an informative booklet with dinosaurs teaching me French-Canadian cursing! Thanks Emma!

[senorcorazon]

I'm going on vacation AND I just got an awesome painting from iAmBaronVonTito. I am what my friend Kaydi used to call A Double Winner.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

woo!  i'm glad you like it.

[senorcorazon]

Just got an insane motherlode of good stuff from KTB, who puts the extra Es in Extreeeem! Thanks! I thought I had rid my brain of Jazzfart, and there it is agai, as well as some paintings and fantastic trading cards. YOU ARE THE CHAMP!

[Martin]

Also got a bunch of stuff from KtB the other day - overwhelming.

And today I got a great selection of photographs from Trotskie! Thanks, comrade!

Me too! Awesome! Especially appreciated as I've been filming a lot of questionable "art" recently for work. A good reminder that making things is still good.

[KickTheBobo]

Received a cryptic set of photos from Trotskie today! Not quite sure of the theme, but the whole set had a Lynchian vibe to them.

Also, can I just say how much I love "matte, with border" photos? a LOT! thanks again, Trot and to all other Extreeemists.

also got a note in there referencing "KTB's rules of photography". Can't recall what stream of bullshit I might have spewed out on the subject in threads past, besides maybe "No Dongs" which I believe to be an early Dogme 95 tenet (later revised to "MORE dongs", iirc)

Is it too late to get in on this art action?


I have some walls that need ART!
