Heebee Post # 213 - Frips - Gent - Belgium

"The Hounds of the Heebeevilles". Yes, there is some Aristocracy in the 4-D Territories and the Heebeeville's Family feature prominently among them. These stout and intelligent creatures are raised exclusively on the fog shrouded Heebeeville Moors.
Frips returns to Heebee Island with this glorious picture of the noble beasts she has grown to love. Thank you very much my friend. Love that interesting Belgian postage too. Her Mail Art always has a great feel to it. You can find her holding court here: Frips Mail Art.

Heebee Post #212 - Richard Canard - Carbondale, IL - USA

For some reason, I was thinking of Richard as I collected my mail this morning and lo, this is what I came across. He writes regarding Postmaster Kerry Jeffrey in Cornelius Oregon. I have to say, it is quite interesting to read the thoughts and musings of an actual Postmaster in his great blog: Art of the Postcard. He is displaying Mail Art sent to him inside the Post Office there. I agree Richard, it is a beautiful thing and I shall go there in January and take some snaps for this Blog. I did send something "a la Test Tower" for his display just after I received this heads up, today.
Canard is an interesting fellow and is very popular here, on the Island. As if a Mail Art Hemingway, you may like his work or not, but it is difficult to argue with his points. Thank you very much Richard, it is always a pleasure to have you in the 4th Dimension.

Heebee Post #211 - Jennifer Zoellner - St. Petersburg, FL - USA

Ur Toy Story - Mail Art call by the fantastic gal that brought you the popular Chromatophore Mail Call and Exhibit. Answer her new call with something favoring the notion of Toys. Find out what is going on here: Ur Toy Story. Thank you Jen.

Heebee Post #210 - Pedro Bericat (Mute Sound) - Zaragoza - Spain

The "Oracles of Sound" stand fascinatingly elegant as Guardians of the Holy Noise that supplies the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge late night crowd with the heavy Trance-Fusion dance phenomena that is becoming rather popular these days.
Pedro makes his debut on Heebee Island with this exotic hypno-vision postcard. It has an eternal-like alluring beauty that is difficult for Islanders to look away from. It is a beauty and has an odd 4-D feel to it. Very nice! Pedro requests 1 minute of "Audio Autohypnosis" for CD compilation. Mail-Sound-Art. I really dig this sort of thing and have some (a lot of ) experience in this type of Art. I will be sending a minute of Test Tower "Sonic Drift" off to Mute Sound for their interesting project. Thank you Pedro - see you in the Mail!

Heebee Post #209 - Stan Askew - Pasadena, CA - USA

This little "Money Doll" is one of the many prizes to be won at the Heebee Arcade Parlor that is adjacent to the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge area. The doll produces hologram dollars that appear to fly about the room. Although these prizes were designed for children, the adults have a lot of fun with them as well.
Stan is back on Heebee sand with this interesting "Prize" postcard. Nice to have you back old friend. Been missing these well-crafted cards by the "8" man. Well known in the 4th Dimension, a grand time is usually enjoyed by all when Stan makes an appearance here. Thank you very much. Find out more about this Artist: Askew Art

Heebee Post #208 - Katerina Nikoltsou - Thessaloniki - Greece

Happy Birthday IUOMA! This monumental 1 year birthday of the Mail Artists Union was happily celebrated on the 13th of November. Unfortunately I was stricken with the H1N1 Flu at the time and missed it all (I am better now - miserable experience - don't get it!). Thank you Ruud Janssen for your efforts in making IUOMA a fantastic place for Mail Artists. Check it out here: IUOMA
Wonder where the 1939 World Expo went? A casual walk through the tall Blue Grass of the Heebee Swamp will reveal it's current whereabouts. Some things wrought in the 3-D real world were cosmically meant to be here, in the 4th Dimension. There are exquisite relics to be found all over the Island.
This beautiful large poster declares the "No to Violence - Yes to Creativity" Mail Art Show in Thessaloniki. You can find out more about this current showing here: Sketbe Mail Art
This was actually two submissions from Katerina. The Grecian postage stamps are just gorgeous too! Thank you very much for these and I love that Sketbe Poster for the show. Very cool!

Heebee Post #207 Wilma Duguay - Bonaventure, Quebec - Canada

"It's a Sailor's life for me". This splendid Seaman's portrait is part of the Documentation from Wilma's Mail Call "The Sea Exhibition". The Mail Art was shown in Port Daniel at the L' Etale Restaurant. Not sure who the Artist for this particular piece is, but it is superb, as many others on the CD Doc were as well.
Thank you very much Wilma. Many beautiful submissions and the Documentation is nicely done. You can find her online here: The Sea Exhibition.

Heebee Post #206 - Servane Morel - Brussels - Belgium

"Some things get started by other things starting - Like fingers snapping at a Beatnik party"! Man, dig that crazy beat! The Confuse-a-Tron Lounge stage boasts the best musical performances in the Heebee Territories. Here you can see the band roaring into the crowd pleasing " Hymn of Heebee Jeebeeland". Nobody is sitting still at this point as the tables empty out onto the dance floor!
Servane shows that she has her finger on the pulse of Heebee Island with her spectacular Cool Cat Jazz postcard. It is a beauty! Shoo baba doo bop! Love it! Thank you very much! If you would like to see her very hip Mail Art site, check here: Lettres d'Ailleurs.

Heebee Post #205 - Adamandia Kapsalis - Chicago, IL - USA

"Reality is Overrated". One of the more popular tee-shirts folks take back home from their 4th Dimension holiday. These thought provoking shirts are among many delights found in Heebee shops and boutiques.
Adamandia returns to the 4th Dimension in contemporary Heebee stylishness with these Fab tee-shirt designs. And check out that "O-Fish-L" rubber stamping. Sweet! Enchanted by her arrival, Islanders are grinning and trading is markedly up. Thank you so much Adamandia. She has two Mail Art sites to consider participating in: A Fishy Requisite and Synaptic Patina.

Heebee Post #204 - Katerina Nikoltsou - Thessaloniki - Greece

Autumn in the eye-popping part of the Heebee Jungle known as the "Fire Forest" is nothing short of a feast for the senses in every direction. The 4th Dimension continues to prove itself to be an incredibly diverse realm to explore for both the novice and the experienced adventurer.
I love the way in which rain has obscured this colorful envelope. Beautiful! Those IUOMA portraits are superb as well. Thank you very much Katerina. Since you are once more on Island shores, let's have a good time in the old Resort tonight! She is quite involved with the Greek Mail Art Show: "No to Violence - Yes to Creativity".

Heebee Post #203 - William L. Philyaw - Shawnee, KS - USA

Forget your camera? No reason to leave Heebee Island without a picture of yourself here in the Resort area. Look for the Double Lensed Twins as they rove about the grounds. Just smile and pick up your snaps later - on the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge Picture Board. Another feature for our 4-D guests to enjoy.
The Twins have a marvelous Stereoscopic Camera Device they incorporate onto their bodies for a helmet like convenience. A 4th Dimension exclusive!
Islanders across the 4-D Territorries all welcome William and they will be in a festive mood all evening due to this latest arrival. Great card my friend! Super vintage Postage here too! I have always loved that "Certified Mail" Postman stamp. Fantastic to see them these days! Thank you very much! Find his Mail Art Site here: Addressee

Heebee Post # 202 - Test Tower - Mail Art Coupon - USA

William's super postcard (see above in Post #203) reminded me of this "coupon" I made a while back. It was a novel idea and still being used in Heebee Jeebeeland to this very day! Thanks again William, for demonstrating this with your card.

Heebee Post #201 - Petala Eytihia - Kilkis - Greece

"Everybody's happy nowadays"! Yes, family reunion holidays are, more than ever, a frequent happening on Heebee Island. These happy moments will forever be cherished by everyone who enjoyed in them. The 4th Dimension never disappoints!
Petala arrives on the Island with this festive party of merrymakers and a grand time was had by all. Thank you very much for this gleeful submission.

Heebee Post #200 - Richard Canard (with Test Tower) - Carbondale, IL - USA

Richard has created a collaborative endeavor for me to join and send off to Artist Laurie Ljubojevic for her Spots and Dots project. He dotted half this card and I the other. I enjoyed that Richard, thanks for thinking of me. Which side is who? Only Canard and I know for sure..............
This little fellow is on it's way to Tokyo - along with some other 4-D delights. I must say, it is sure good to have Canard back on Heebee Island. Keep your eye on your Mail Box my friend - something Heebeeish is on its way

Heebee Post #199 - Laurie Ljubojevic - Tokyo - Japan

"We were talking about the space between us all......... within you and without you". Trans-Dimensional travel is quite a treat for the eyes!
Laurie joins the Heebee Territories with this great Dimension bursting postcard. She is asking for something dotted or spotted for her cool Art site: La Dotiste. Thank you very much Laurie and something will be on it's way to you soon, including the last post (#200). See you in the mail!
