Heebee Post #100 - Sebastien Lefebvre - Bilheux - France

A word of warning: You are about to cross through a "Thought Stream". The 4th Dimension features many of these collective conscious tributaries and streams. As you ford through them, you are submerged for a moment into a busy  intersection of wandering thoughts that has no traffic signal. Harmless and interesting, visitors are warned to fasten their mental safety belts before crossing.  
Sebastien arrives onto Heebee Island shores with a great A4 sized, 4th Dimensional, super-laminate postcard.  Mr. Lefebvre also enjoys the dubious honor of being the Island's 100th posting! Thanks very much,  I love it! Check out his fun Mail Art show here: artpostal28.over-blog.com

Heebee Post #99 - Hugo S. Porcaro, Jr. - Gulfport, FL - USA

"Pirates"!  The excited cry brings everyones attention to the approaching ship that flies the Jolly Roger. These Island guests are not frightened, but instead are thrilled by the friendly Brigand's visit. The guests know the next few hours will be filled with colorful tales and high spirits as these 4th Dimensional sea-faring fellows entertain even the most sober-sided visitor. Arrrrgh
It's nice to see Hugo return to 4-D Island paradise with this merry old salty sailor postcard. Thank you very much Captain Porcaro (also known as "Rev.Hugo" on my space).

Heebee Post #98 - Brent Leopold - Camp Hill, PA - USA

Fashion minded Felines are all the rage at the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge these days. The furry hipster seen above is enjoying his new smarty cat look while adorned in a lovely Cow hat. Other cats have been showing up in likewise fashion to the amusement and delight of Island visitors. No one can be certain how this current trend started, but it is catching on quickly.Brent has returned to the 4th Dimension with this cool "Hepcat" postcard and a dissertation on "Life stories of the Bland". Boy, do we know how you feel. A little bit of that can go a long way and indeed can be "painful to hear". Interestingly, he adds "Heebee Island is an escape to a visual Eyeland, filled with Pop-Rock Stars". That is a very kind assessment Mr. Leopold. Thank you very much and glad to have you here my friend. What else has he been up to? Find out here: google.com/profiles/frontpocket00 

Heebee Post #97 - Richard Canard - Carbondale, IL - USA

My dear Canard, a postcard is indeed a passport to Heebee Jeebeeland. And anybody that comes up with a word like "Artistickle" is automatically given the Key to the 4th Dimension and, happily, a residency here (complete with 5 star cafeteria.......yum)!
Richard is back on the Island with his usual thoughtful brand of confounding banter. He was also the first to extensively map out The Heebee Island group and so become a VIP of the 4th Dimension Territories. Thanks very much Richard. Yes, an "artistikle residency in the south of St. Trap Ease"  is a grand idea.  Stay tuned for more of this charming artist.

Heebee Post #96 - Coralette Damme - Gulfport, FL - USA

Heebee Island boasts a wide assortment of refreshments and confections not found in the real 3-D world. One of the more popular treats to be tried here is the "Ice Dream Cone". While enjoying this delicious frozen delicacy, one begins to drift into a comfortable mental state full of happy memories, jungle drums and fanciful ideas. The Dream Cone Hut is open around the clock for those late night guests that just can't get enough out of the day. 
Once again, we are delighted to find Coralette's 4th Dimensional imagination at work here on the Island. Jungle Drums and Ice Dreams, a combination that is sure to delight any that are young at heart. That you very much. Coralette is also known as the Crafty Hag: www.craftyhag.com

Heebee Post #95 - Wilma Duguay - Bonaventure, Quebec - Canada

The "Hall of Magic Mirrors" in the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge area is another must see attraction for many Island Visitors. Although sometimes controversial, because the Mirrors tell truths about their viewers, this can be a life changing event. A counselor is always available, should the "Truth" be too overwhelming for the Visitor.
The Mirrors always have a very personal message for their beholder. Wilma's image, seen in the reflection above,  can only be interpreted by her. A Mirror Guide may accompany you and offer suggestions to aid in what is offered in the 4-D image maker, but only you can decide for yourself what significance it actually means regarding your life. Thank you so much Wilma for this thought filled postcard.

Heebee Post #94 - Miguel Jimenez (El Taller de Zenon) - Seville - Spain

"Everyone has the right to periodic holidays with pay" And, evidently, the right to have unabashed fun while on holiday. You never know who will show up at the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge's "open mike" hour to entertain the spunky crowd of festive visitors. Luis Bunuel would be proud.
"Money is better than poverty if only for financial reasons" so it reads on this beautifully made 500 Zenones note. Two tickets coming right up Miguel and we shall put the change onto the El Taller de Zenon 4-D spending account. Your wife is going to love you for this.
Artistamp Mail Call - Check out Miguel's new blog as he collects everybody's Artistamp sheets for display here: artistampstz.blogspot.com . There are some wonderful works to behold there.
Well, I must say, Heebee Island is certainly excited to find El Taller de Zenon here. Thank you so much for your lively and engaging art Miguel. Find out more about what and who this Artist is: http://www.eltallerdezenon.com/

Heebee Post #93 - E. Buado - Chicago, IL - USA

The charm of those in Heebee Jeebeeland is quite apparent and can be summed up in the face of this friendly Island dweller. The existence of our 4-D Paradise is nearly always reflected by the happiness and smiles of all that visit or live here. Enjoy.
This wonderful "Heebee Portrait" card is another fine example of Ed's 4th Dimensional handiwork. Thank you very much for this great postcard depicting our Island culture. Find out more about this Artist here: edbuddz.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #92 - Kat van Trollebol - Tilburg - Netherlands

Meteorological nightmares often bring about fascinating results here on Heebee Island. When there is a clashing with the reality of the 3-D world along the Trans-Dimensional seam - a friction between the two can develop causing some very unusual stormy weather. Visitors are encouraged to respond by holding an Island-wide dance ritual until the crazed weather subsides. Where else can you have fun like this? Thank you Kat for your incredible postcard.

Heebee Post #91 - Scott Ray Randall - Grass Valley, CA - USA

Clowns are afoot in the 4th Dimension alright and they can be an ill-behaved bunch. What the heck are they doing out there in the jungle at night? As their numbers here increase, so does their hypnotic effect on people. The "Underground 4-D Clown Movement" is a growing concern for Heebee Officials. It is a general Island rule to just avoid them if you can and never take any advice from them seriously.
It's great to have Scott visiting the Island, especially with this fabulous postcard. And check out that cool "The Science of Mail Art" sticker in the corner. Science and Mail Art - I like that combo! Wow - I may have to make a version of that sticker myself. Thank you very much Scott. Find out more about this interesting artist: scottrayrandall.com

Heebee Post #90 - Jennifer Zoellner - ST. Petersburg, FL - USA

This little gal stands agog and wide-eyed in her new 4-D paradise surroundings. The initial emotional response upon arriving here in the 4th Dimension can be entirely overwhelming, particularly for children. Shortly after this snap was taken, this lovely child was having the time of her young life! 
Jen is back with her toes in Heebee Island sand again and we are happy to see her having fun here. She has included some fine U.S. Heebee Postage stamps and they are beauties! Thanks Ms. Z.  Folks, isn't it time you Chromatophored? Find out how here: jenniferzoe.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #89 - Ryosuke Cohen - Moriguchi City, Osaka - Japan

Very much like having a Mail Art Newspaper delivered to the 4th Dimension, "Brain Cell" #737 shows up in all it's international glory. This edition, as always, is larger than A4 and quite a spectacle.  Ryosuke's "Brain Cell" project is a sort of Mecca for Mail Artists. The list above comprises the participants for this issue alone. Ryosuke Cohen is a very well known and unique Mail Artist.  His project has been very well received and recognized everywhere in the Mail Art world for many years.  Thank you very much  Mr. Cohen.  He also conducts "Fractal Portraits". You should know about him. Find out here: www.ryosukecohen.com 

Heebee Post #88 - Art Tower - Aschaffenburg - Germany

Heebee Island sculptures are often used to indicate various things. In this example, we know there must be a public restroom nearby. Gunter returns to the Island with this cool and "triumphant" postcard. Thanks very much my friend. Find out what's going on in the Art Tower World:  www.arttower.de

Heebee Post #87 - Capucine Mazille - St. Eusebe - France

And so, their incredible journey continued.......  This time they were sure to make it.  The Whale had been there before or at least he claimed to have been there.  After a while, they began to wonder again about their  legendary destination.
  "Why did you ever come back from Heebee Island if it is such a paradise?" they asked the moody leviathan, testily......
 "Whales have traveled through Trans-Dimensional waters for millenniums. What's the big deal"!?! The Whale's mouth had barely moved as he grumped out his answer, quite loudly.  "Now hold on!" he added gruffly and his speed picked up tremendously. 
Actual Heebee Jeebee citizens are invariably a friendly lot and, if you have the time, they love to share stories of their lives and adventures.  Love this charming character.We are certainly delighted to have Capucine visiting here in the 4th Dimension. Thank you very much for this gorgeous envelope and card.  She is a very interesting Artist.  Wonder what else she is up to?  Treat yourself to this:  enicupac.online.fr/indexn6.htm

Heebee Post #86 - Diane Keys - Elgin, IL - USA

The Friendly Feline Club, one of the fine night spots inside the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge complex, is quite an exciting and sensational social scene for the young and young at heart.  Many visitors would rather sleep during the day and have their fun all night!              
Thank you Diane for your Heebee Night Club vision and your Mail Art vacation in the 4th Dimension.  "Meet me at the Friendly Feline" is becoming a well used phrase here.  We do like to carry on a bit!

Heebee Post #85 - William L. Philyaw - Shawnee, KS - USA

Spending extensive time in the unexplored regions of the 4th Dimension can result in various unexpected calamities. Often,  a prolonged stay beyond the "Edge" and on into the vast Trans-4-D Frontier can cause hallucinogenic visions. And, although a seemingly spiritual experience, it can render the explorer nearly helpless as he can no longer trust his brain. Take notice:  Long treks into the uncharted 4-D Frontier, should always be accompanied by the savvy and seasoned Heebee Guides.
The Heebee Jeebee Tourist Bureau offers this as a public service message and also reminds us that there are plenty of attractions and things that astonish in the resort and settled areas of the Island.  The Trans-4-D Frontier is only for those with extreme adventure lust.
The jungle drums beat wildly in the distance as smoke clouds emerging from the thick canopy signal William's return to the Island!  A fabulous array of Vintage U.S. Postage adorns this trademark Philyaw envelope. Thanks very much! You can find out more about him by starting here: addressee.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #84 - Hugo S. Porcaro, Jr. - Gulfport, FL - USA

The Heebee "Clearing House" is a great way to relax. Settle yourself into one of the comfortable booths and for a short while, negative thoughts become neutralized or too vague to engage. An added feature now adds a feeling of accomplishment that can remain with you for hours.  This attraction is an Island exclusive!   
Glad to have you visit the Island Hugo.  And thank you for the 4-D attraction card that adds greatly to the other amusements here.

Heebee Post # 83 - Roxanne Clark - Taos, NM - USA

A Trans-4D Aircraft is photographed just at as it leaves NYC airspace and enters into the 4th Dimension and on into Heebee Jeebeeland. No matter how frequently a traveler takes this flight, the transition between the dimensional fabrics is quite something to behold!  
There's a sign post up ahead......Next Stop Heebee Jeebeeland! Island visitor Roxanne Clark sends in this great example of astounding Quasi-Dimensional Art. Also: the Chrysler Building is one of my favorite buildings.  Thank you very much Roxanne - love it!

Heebee Post #82 - Adamandia Kapsalis - Chicago, IL - USA

When these articles from the 3-D real world were discovered in the hands of Heebee Nomad Tribesmen, they were asked how they came to have them. The word "souvenirs" was the only explanation these jungle men could  offer. Could they be items brought here by the original Heebee Island Ship-wrecked Castaways from 1919?    3-D seed pods will not grow here in the 4th Dimension and must have confounded the Tribesmen's ancestors as well as the keys, for they had no use to them.
The Island certainly is elated to find Adamandia back on it's shores. Especially when she brings an interesting mystery to solve! Thank you very much for your new cool card my friend. She runs two Mail Art sites that you can find here:   www.a-fishy-requisite.blogspot.com  and here:  synaptic-patina.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #81 - Medwolf - Battleford, Saskatchewan - Canada

 Heebee Jungle Explorer and 4-D Frontiersman Medwolf and his crew, Mrs. Medwolf and Rainbow Girl,  are seen here posing as they prepare for another sojourn back into the deep uncharted regions of the 4th Dimension.  
These strange children were discovered by the Medwolf Expedition living as part of a larger group of wild youngsters that roam the rugged 4-D Frontier area known as "The Edge".  It is reported that they speak in a sort of shrill "Bird Language".       
There are those in the remote regions of  the 4th Dimension that tell of a legendary wanderer. One whose journey led him far into the vast voids of the 4-D frontier........alone! Could that lone and mysterious explorer have been David Zack? Thank you so much for this great submission my friend. If any of you folks would like to help Medwolf find his friend, check in here: medwolf.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #80 - Coralette Damme - ST. Petersburg, FL - USA

3 AM, the soul's midnight. About the time when the Heebee Were-Cat comes tippy-toeing out into the pale 4-D moonlight, searching for fish brains! You are not likely to ever see these nocturnal reclusive creatures, unless you are foolish enough to store fish brains in your Hotel room.   
Please pay attention to the various "Public service messages" posted around the Island. Yes, The Crafty Hag, as Coralette humorously refers to herself, is back on the Island with this great postcard denoting this freaky Feline phenomena. Thank you very much for your cool art. Find out more about The Crafty Hag: www.craftyhag.com

Heebee Post #79 - Bernhard Zilling - Berlin - Germany

Heebee Jeebeeland continues to feature fun family value interests and this Island attraction is an example of how these values can be manifested. The "Family Nucleus Meld" ride is specifically made for the celebration of family togetherness and can bring even the most disintegrating family groups back as a functioning and loving unit. As an Island exclusive - this attraction alone can warrant a vacation in the 4th Dimension.     
Thank you Bernhard for this great concept card and welcome to the 4th Dimension. If you would like to see a very interesting project and it's great cerebral results - Check Bernhard's last Mail Call "Rich and Poor". He has a unique approach and you may enjoy this thoughtful Mail Art study: bernhard-zilling.de/?page_id=27

Heebee Post #78 - Jennifer Zoellner - ST. Petersburg, FL - USA

One of the more spectacular sights on the Heebee Island shores is the incredible Mermaid Sea-Caves. Located at the the bottom of a treacherously steep cliff, it has been almost completely inaccessible until very recently, when a tunnel was dug and an observation  area was built, deep inside the mountain that abruptly ends at the sea. It is quite a mysterious sight, beholding the gloomy cavernous life of these fantastic creatures as they playfully squeal and splash about. Ancient Mermaid skeletons, fossilized into the walls of this erie realm only adds to this extraordinary 4th Dimension vision of sea life.
Jennifer has incorporated her Mermaid Sea-Caves lunch ticket into a lovely postcard. And look at those "S & H Green Stamps". Wow, those bring back memories! Nice cancellation Rubber stamp too Jen. Thank you so much for your 4-D aqua world card. There is still plenty of time to join in her popular project "Chromatophore" jenniferzoe.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #77 - Bendigo - Newark, Nottingham - U.K.

There is always plenty of provocative art adorning the gallery walls of the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge cocktail area. One of the newest additions is this festive arrangement, a sort of postage-art cocktail itself.   
It is too bad that the metallic sheen of this card can't be reproduced here, it really enhances this interesting postcard. Thank you very much Bendigo. Glad to have you visit the Island. Now let's go into the Lounge for a "Creepin' Tango" cocktail and check out some art!
