Heebee Post #53 - William L. Philyaw - Shawnee, KS - USA

These two characters, shown here smiling charmingly for the camera, are actually rough and seasoned Trans-4D Frontier Guides. They are currently being sought for questioning for some mischievous minor damage done to one of the Island Dimension Stabilizers (seen behind them) a short time after this picture was taken. After a long while on the Frontier and a long night in the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge, it seems these two fellows may have gotten a little carried away with themselves.
William is back on the Island with his very cool "Denizens of  HBJB Land". Love this interesting postcard and also am really enjoying the wonderful display of great looking vintage U.S. Postage. Thanks for the adventurous imagination applied to that card my friend.: Find William's mail art site here:  addressee.blogspot.com/

Heebee Post #52 - Dewi - Toronto, BC - Canada

A look behind the scenes in the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge. Employees puff, chat and drink coffee while on their "smokebreak" after serving a busy and sumptuous luncheon to the smiling Island guests.
One of Dewi's many enjoyable mail art "Cafe Sketches". He writes: "Hello from Canuckland". Hi Dewi and thank you for for this candid look at the reality of this 4th Dimensional Island. Check out what he is up to here: cafesketch.blogspot.com and here:

Heebee Post #51 - Megan Sandover-Sly - Saanichten, BC - Canada

This rare and mysterious "Sheet Tablet" is one of only several that have ever been discovered by exploring pioneers out deep into the endless horizon of the Trans-4D Frontier. Heebee Island Scientists are almost completely confounded by the Extra-Dimensional  language recorded upon these curious items and are working diligently to decipher their meaning and determine their importance in understanding more of this uncanny region. Thanks Megan for your very intriguing mail art. Like to see more of Megan's work? Check here:

Heebee Post #50 - Carlos Botana - A Coruna - Spain

A grand view of the vast and mind bendingly beautiful Trans-4D Frontier in all of it's astonishing and surrealistic splendor. Those brave souls exploring this inter-dimensional region refer to this immense mystery realm as "The Edge". Unpredictable and unstable, this area is host to phenomena that can often be beyond our senses to comprehend and react to. It is wholly unknown as to what could exist beyond this. Scientific study here is known to be dangerous and even sometimes deadly.
Carlos has created some very cool and imaginative artistamps. I also see he has a keen sense of humor (see above "Tex Tower"). Nice.....Thank you very much for your Island visit Carlos. Love that card! See what else he is up to: artecorreo2009.blogspot.es and carlosibotana.blogspot.es

Heebee Post #49 - Keith Buchholz - St. Louis, MO - USA

This gorgeous A4 sized vintage travel magazine, from Fluxus/St.louis, shows just how long the popularity and intrigue of Heebee Island has captured the public's interest. The colorful cover boasts "Sex crazed Art Colony waits for you" and many here have found that to be, in fact, true to a degree. The 4th Dimension is a wonderful playground for all types of activities and the uninhibited atmosphere of the Island does lend itself as a perfect "arena" for such physical delights. Visitors should, however, exhibit discretion in these matters as this is a family vacation destination. Keith also writes this cryptic message: "If he's got a face, he'll want a Heebee Jeebee". One can only speculate on his meaning. Thank you Keith for this very cool and entertaining art. For information regarding this artist: www.blogger.com/profile/08749723050854486743

Heebee Post #48 - Jennifer Zoellner - St. Petersburg, FL - USA

Fe-Mail Artist Jennifer Zoellner returns to the Island and this lucky girl is quickly becoming the envy of the other guests by having contracted the Jeebee Measles. What a wonderful time she will have as everyone here knows this experience is no "calamity" or "illness". In fact, it is quite the contrary. Even a few hours of Jeebee Measles will enhance your intellect and physical beauty. Upon returning to our 3-D reality, your friends and family will marvel at the "new you". Island visitors regard this as similar to winning the lottery. Lucky girl indeed! 
Here she writes "Let's do it. Let's be Mail Artists"! Well, I can understand her zeal for Mail Art since it has made her more beautiful and much smarter! We really like the "Fe-Mail Artist" artistamp and also that other artistamp "Ritalin - So much easier than parenting",  which I suspect may have been of Wackystuff origin. Thanks Jen for this great card! Folks, have you "Chromatophored" yet? Find her fabulous project

Heebee Post #47 - Art Tower - Aschaffenburg - Germany

The Heebee Tattoo Center, located inside the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge, is becoming more popular every day. These interesting renderings are from actual experiences and adventures that are enjoyed while vacationing here on the Island. Everyone can take home a "permanent souvenir" to proudly show off to their friends and loved ones.  
So, to answer your inquiry AT - Yes indeed!  Not only are tattoos allowed, but moreover, greatly encouraged! These marvelous images look superb back in the real world and you will have fun explaining each one for years to come.  Thanks for your friendly and frequent visits here Gunter. We love your cards! There is more of this interesting Artist here: www.arttower.de/

Heebee Post #46 - Ed Buddz B - W.Chicago, IL - USA

There is no sense in making Heebee Jeebeeland seem completely without some terrifying aspects. The evidence for this can be found all over the Island. Usually these "Fright Field" areas are marked with a warning indicator like this beautiful example above. These "fields" are not for the faint hearted and it is recommended that children be accompanied by an adult when seeking adventure in these areas. 
We are glad to see Ed back in the 4th Dimension with these great drawings showing the other side of life here on the Island. We like the Mail Art stickers too. Thanks Ed for your "Dark Side" art. Heebee Island has an ongoing reputation for being very receptive to creepy submissions and this is a splendid example.

Heebee Post #45 - Art Tower - Aschaffenburg - Germany

Interesting art from Art Tower showing the "Heebee" and the "Jeebee". Similar to the "Yin" and the "Yang" of our 3-D reality world, these icons depict the mind's ongoing polarities of thoughts and actions here in the 4th Dimension.  The "5 Jeepes" under the Icons are mysterious and their roles are still not entirely understood. 
Thank you Gunter for your quick return to the Island with this second great card. We love frequent visitors and are always happy to accomodate friends of the 4th Dimension. That is a cool looking IUOMA sticker too. There are more of Gunter's efforts here: www.arttower.de/

Heebee Post #44 - Richard Canard - Carbondale, IL - USA

This monumental A4 size map of Heebee Jeebeeland arrived today from pioneer 4-D cartographer Richard Canard. He reports that he spent "some time on St. Salvador Dali Island", but now has the express desire to explore Heebee Jeebeeland and we are sure glad he does. This map really is quite an achievement! Thank you very much Richard.

Heebee Post #43 - Stan Askew - Pasadena, CA - USA

Security on the Island is hardly necessary and no one here has more fun than these happy looking lads as they patrol merrily along the Confuse-a-Tron area facilities perimeter. The security personnel are quite popular with the visitors as they are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful (and handsome, as is clearly visible in this pic)!  
As with any other tourist destination, there is always a few Wise Guys and this Island is no exception. Here, you can see a few Knuckle Heads heckling the other visitors as they stroll by. Ungentlemanly conduct can quickly become a cause for ejection from Heebee Island and back to 3-D reality, where it much more tolerated and even expected. Thank you Stan for another great post card. For more of Mr. Askew's antics see this: http://www.photoaskew.com/

Heebee Post #42 - Art Tower - Aschaffenburg - Germany

Yes, there are some rather curious looking beings from the 4th Dimension that have somehow managed to slip through the dimensional filters and into our 3-D world reality and have formed a sort of scientific colony. Don't be alarmed!  These intelligent creatures are referred to as "Heebee Refugees",  but actually only seek to observe our dimension and return to study and share their findings. It is crucial that these shy beings be left alone.
Art Tower refers to the mighty Mt. Rainier that stands at over 14,000 feet tall and is the jewel of the Cascade Mountain range. If that gigantic dormant volcano erupted, it would cause  a catastrophe of unprecedented proportion.  We joke about that sometimes.  Well......no, it's not shakin' yet!  Thanks Gunter for your rendering of that mysterious Inter-dimensional Scientist. Want to know more about Art Tower? It's right here:  www.arttower.de/

Heebee Post #41 - Lorraine Kwan - Vancouver, BC - Canada

Governments around the world continue their eavesdropping in a relentless effort to digest the secrets of Trans-Dimensional travel and the very existence of the 4th Dimension on Heebee Jeebee Island. Rest assured that these "secrets" will remain secure so that the Island will continue to offer a complete vacation escape from any  bureaucracies that could ruin the freedom of any citizen from any country to participate in the extraordinary fun.  
Lorraine returns to the Island with her particular brand of humor to remind us that we are never completely free from those who might try to control how we do what we do or if we can even do it! Thanks very much for your great postcard. The comical Chef seen here is to remind us of her project "Feed Me"!  Find it by clicking this: paperandpostage.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #40 - Xtina Solano - San Leandro, CA - USA

In a magical world of a gloriously happy thought-stream, Xtina is back on the Island slinging the beauty around like an veteran love guru. This is the type of like-minded guest that we will always encourage to vacation and   flourish here. 
This thick mixed media card appeals to the sense of touch as well as sight. Like the 4th Dimension, it is composed of fragments of dreams and bits and pieces of  our 3-D reality as well as a definite "X-Factor"! Thanks Xtina for this sumptuous collage. What else is she up to? Check here: www.flickr.com/photos/11667842@N05/

Heebee Post #39 - Brent Leopold - Camp Hill, PA - USA

As the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge area gets closer to completion, we are seeing more astounding attractions added for the guests amusement. Here we see a couple in the 4-D Romance Chamber where shared surreal moments of love can be a very memorable experience. 
There are many games to chose from here and the Island visitors play them with great enthusiasm. One favorite is "Math, Heart, Brain", a scientific breakthough actually, that can only be played in the 4th Dimension. An Island exclusive!
Brent writes that the "Spider Baby" was the only part of the movie "Toy Story" that he liked. I liked that sinister "Spider Baby" too. The other ATC is titled: "NRA ear cleaner".
This is not grafitti as we generally know it. There are some walls in the 4th Dimension that can sustain a sort of picture creating bacteria that can grow and appear overnight, sometimes rendering images of guests that are vacationing here. These images can be washed off easily with water or, since they pose no health threat and if they are particularly beautiful, they are left alone so that the folks staying here can marvel at them with delight. 
These items came in this cool painted envelope. Thanks very much for your Heebee Offerings Brent. We are very glad you could visit the Island. Great stuff! Want to know more about this artist? Try : myspace.com/frontpocket
