Heebee Post #834 - Uli Grohmann - Munster - Germany

A quote from the Bible's New Testament is used in dark sarcasm for the three commanding officers of the 1800's U.S. Army Calvary Indian fighters. These incredible atrocities against American Natives are horrifying. From left to right: James William Forsyth - Wounded Knee Massacre - South Dakota, 1890. John Milton Chivington - Sand Creek Massacre - Colorado (1864). Patrick Edward Connor - Bear River Massacre - Idaho/Utah border 1863. Deep, shameful scars on the reputation of our history as a nation. Super postcard Uli.

Side 2 of the sobering postcard is a bit more lighthearted, featuring the 'Via' sticker "By hopping Jackalope" and Fluxus lesson rubber stamping. Thank you very much Uli, enjoyed it very much. See you in the mail!

Mail Art - The Romantic Paper Sport for everybody that has imagination with heart!

September 17 - 2013: "Every human being is intended to have a character of his own; to be what no other is, and to do what no other can do." - Channing. One of the best uses of originality is to say common things in an uncommon way. Mail Art lends itself nicely to this lane of thought. In fact, if you would like to continue down that noble lane, Mail Art creation is a perfect venue for a display of originality - and "If you create something, you must be something" - Goethe. So, let's be a "Something" and have some fun as well. Heebee Jeebeeland welcomes all you "Somethings". The 4th Dimension is the perfect place for all you "Somethings that create something". Anything. And, if you will be absolutely silent in your mind for a moment and listen carefully, you can just hear the dreamy strains of Judy Garland singing that glorious tune "Something over the Rainbow". Ahhhhhh, yes. Remember: Senders receive! Test Tower / 1365 Centralia-Alpha Rd. / Chehalis, WA / 98532 USA

Welcome to Heebee Jeebeeland

When I was a kid, there was an old cartoon I saw many times on TV. While a child was sleeping, the unusual wallpaper all over his room came to life and began to dance back and forth, up and down in a rather fanciful symmetry accompanied by a sort of goofy graveyard mischief music. All manner of mayhem went on until the sun shone again at dawn and the dancing pranksters rushed back to their original spots and the wallpaper became still again. It is in the vicinity of that realm that Heebee Jeebeeland exists.
Please send Mail Art that needs to live here and be shown on this blog.
