Heebee Post #330 - Richard Canard - Carbondale, Illinois - USA

Ladies and gentlemen, Richard Canard! After an apparent hiatus (cavorting and Lotus sniffing in his Heebee Territory Island retreat), Richard emerges as brilliantly as ever - (4th Dimension management will have to take care of his spending rampage however- as usual).
Richard confides that he was invited to speak at an Art Tourism and Mail Art class at the local community college. He says he brushed up on his Ray Johnson and Fluxus and "all that jazz"; but when he arrived, all they wanted to talk about was "Test Tower this and Test Tower that".
Richard continues to report that soon they began chanting and singing something about yours truly and became enthusiastically engaged in building several ersatz towers in the classroom. Oh, the reverence - I'm blushing!
Richard even declares that he happily joined in the frenzy. Now, I feel like I should build a "Canard" in reciprocation! Richard, I tip my hat old man!
The "Thomas Kinkade Complex" - perfect! The Island is, as is their custom, in a merry commotion with the return of Richard's unique Mail Art. This is quite a treat for the Locals because wherever Richard goes around here, fun is sure to follow. Thank you very much my friend, nice to see you here again! See you in the mail.

Heebee Post #329 - Marianne Laimer - Viklau, Gotland - Sweden

Passengers disembarking from Trans-Dimensional flights can become temporarily disoriented. No need for despair. Directions for Island destinations can be obtained either visually or audibly. No need to ever despair in the 4th my friends!
Marianne is back on Heebee sand with another gorgeous mind treat of a postcard. I like the kissable appeal of the "Direction Sentry" standing ever vigilant at the Dimension entrance. Sweet! Thank you very much Marianne, this is a great submission. Find out more of what she is up to here. Den Skupturala Boken.

Heebee Post #328 - Keith Buchholz (Fluxus St. Louis) - St. Louis, Missouri - USA

Yes, this is an actual published song. A younger Louis and his "Hot Five" sound great as they get plenty funky with this number: PLAY. Sounds pretty darn Heebee Jeebee to me. Even in the 4th Dimension - who doesn't like Louis Armstrong?Nice to see Keith back on the Island. Keith and a mob of merry Fluxists recently had a grand time of it in NYC at the Stendhal Gallery, the Emily Harver Foundation Gallery, Printed Matter and various establishments that would tolerate them. Heh. It is certainly a pleasure to see the wonderful camaraderie they all displayed. I know, I would have enjoyed being there - blast it!. Get an insiders view and check out the fun these creative Artists have when left to their own devices: "NEW YORK 2010". A lot of the usual suspects were there and in great form! Thank you very much Keith - for the card and the antics!

Heebee Post #327 - Frips - Gent - Belgium

I got a double bubble from Frips in the last few days! These cards have a great hand carried through the Heebee Jungle appeal and I love 'em. She has a signature style and, if it must be known, she is one of my favorite Mail Artists. She captures that Heebee Jeebee look very well.
Invariably, Frips likes to put her Belgian postage over the edge of her postcards giving it an odd sort of hurried and frantic appearance - especially nice for the 4th Dimension! Her carved block prints are always interesting and fun and I have a nice collection of them. Thank you very much my friend - you'll be seeing me in the Post soon. Find her popular site here: Frips Mail Art .

Heebee Post #326 - Marni Zainodin - Cameron Highlands, Pahang Darul Makmur - Malaysia

Heebee daydreams are made of this stuff. Real flowers join a watercolor Rose and real butterfly wings in this phantasmagorical scene of a lone 4th Dimension visitor's wonderful sleeping vision.
I really am enjoying Marni's exotic flora and fauna postcard. Very 4th Dimension and I love it! Thank you very much my friend. You can view her great artwork here: Marni's Creations.

Heebee Post # 325 - Beli Zlaticanin - Podgorica - Montenegro

This interesting communique from Mail Artist Beli Zlaticanin arrived this weekend in the 4th Dimension, although it was postmarked 02/16/2010 - Two months to get here! This decorated envelope is nice and sincerely obscure. It's great Beli, thank you very much and welcome to Heebee Jeebeeland my friend. See you in the mail sooner than later.

Heebee Post #324 - Gik Juri - Pushkino - Moscow Area - Russia

Juri's Dadahomeya Kit #4 project involves creating a sort of elaborate fantasy state - Dadahomeya - complete with a postcard from that domain. He explains a history of this above in his very informative Mini-Fluxus Kit -Manifesto. The character on the Artistamp is called "Heebee Jeebee". Boy, did he come to the right place!
Welcome to the 4th Dimension Juri. Glad Heebee Jeebee could make it to Heebee Jeebeeland! Love the Dadahomeya Republic logo too. I have to confess that I received this interesting Fluxus Kit about a month ago by registered mail. I put it aside in a special place to attend to it promptly - ugh - and forgot until I found it today! For that I must apologize - and to make up for it, I will send a special package of fun in return. Thank you very much Juri. See ya in the mail.

Heebee Post #323 - Eduardo Cardoso - Sines - Portugal

The Laboratory Bar inside the Confuse-A-Tron Lounge can surely concoct a legendary cocktail. The Bartenders here are skilled, inventive and open-minded. It does get a bit messy behind the scenes during the Happy Hours.

"The Pelvic Intravenous Similar Distance Network" is what the computer translated the above to say. I always wondered what that would look like. Nice one Eddie!

Nice to have Eddie and the Paranormal Art ensemble operating back in the 4th Dimension again. Nicely decorated envelope too - with a very cool Artistamp and a fabulous Portuguese postage stamp as well. Thanks very much my friend. You can find Eduardo in his Paranormal Mail Art chamber working his magic.

Heebee Post #322 - Jennifer Zoellner - St. Petersburg, Florida - USA

This visual feast of Mail Art finesse arrived this morning festooned with interesting Artistamps (always a touch of class). A super highlight is the light hearted "Wanted for Mail Art Fraud" stamp featuring an adorable Jenn sporting a campy mustache. And check out the wicked fun U.S. Postage! Super 4-D appeal!
I sure like the initial look of this Add & Pass - Just me and JZ so far - I'm sending it on to some unsuspecting soul after I first finish another copy to make a cool scientific postcard from it for my own collection. It's been a while since Jennifer has visited the 4th Dimension Territories and her arrival here has sparked off a festive mood among the Locals. Her "South Fluxus" sticker is great: "One pill and you are in Floridada. Please enjoy irresponsibly"! Nice! Thank you very much my old friend. She runs the popular Mail and Sketch 2010 and Ur Toy Story" MA site.

Heebee Post #321 - Wilma Duguay - Bonaventure, Quebec - Canada

Wilma arrives in on Heebee Island via an unusual and daring, but utterly delightful, canoe journey. This is a gorgeous submission and I love, love, love it! Just imagine Wilma paddling away in her durable red canoe, under a mind boggling 4-D cosmic sky. Not to mention over a 4-D Sea of wonder, teeming with aquatic life.
It's no secret that Wilma has a great affinity for the ocean and the Art seen above proves it. Personally, I kind of know how she feels - I could never live too far from the coast. The bizarre irony of it is that I get something that feels like claustrophobia if I am too far inland for too long. I know, this makes no sense, but that's the way it is for me. So, right on Wilma!
This lovely lady also sent these Canadian Olympic stamps and an official pin from the Vancouver 2010 international affair (not shown). These are beautiful and will fit in nicely with my large collection.

Nice to have you back in the 4-D Territories my dear Wilma. Thank you very much for goodies and the Art. I see she has a PC (tictac) Artistamp on the envelope. You'll find more of PC's art in the following posting (#320). Wilma has a Oceanic themed blog: The Sea Exhibition. This was a fun package to receive - thanks again my friend.

Heebee Post #320 - PC (TICTAC) - Starnberg - Germany

What a great method of documentation for a Mail Art Call. This one is for the popular "Bubbles" project that ended recently. The fact that it is displayed in a swimming pool is ingenious. This is a big A-4 size and very well and interestingly done.

It's nice to get such lovely documentation results - especially in large very decorated envelopes. Lots of fabulous Artistamps and colorful German postage adorn this smart package. Thank you very much Patrizia, it was fun participating in your playful project. If you would like a look at the "Bubbles" collection - check here: PC (tictac) Bubbles.

Heebee Post #319 - Ahmet Demir - Izmir - Turkey

Wow! It is difficult to reproduce the grandeur of this 4 piece envelope ensemble. The print quality is fantastic and somehow it is plasticized on one side only. Brilliant and vibrant and quite superb. Have to take my hat off to this Mail Art marvel.
A stunning debut for Ahmet in the 4th Dimension. This submission is beautiful and Heebee Jeebeeland is agog with it's splendor! The Turkish postage and that provacative Artistamp are splendid as well. Thank you very much Ahmet - We, here at the 4-D Art Institute, absolutely adore your work. We'll be seeing you in the mail my friend.

Heebee Post #318 - Peter Dowker - Lac-Brome - Quebec - Canada

You can see that this fellow has a new spring in his step and so can you! With many new designs to choose from, you will be proud to stroll the Heebee Beaches again after a quick makeover. Be as creative as you dare - take advantage of the Island Resort's Beauty Facilities and ensure that your stay here is a memorable one.
Welcome back to the Heebee Territories Peter. Peter's arrival to the Island has put the Locals in a festive mood with this super Postcard. "Science Redesigns" have become more popular than tattoos for the visitors and why not? Thanks Peter, for helping to define the new cool here in the 4th Dimension! This card is large, sturdy and beautiful - I love it! Peter has a very popular Mail Art site: Flip Flop Mail Art.

Heebee Post #317 - Brad Baucom (Fluxus Dakota) - Deadwood, South Dakota - USA

Ever get that feeling? Not too thrilled with your Art lately and not sure what is wrong? When that creepy "What is Art anyway" notion come's a callin'? It's Art Detox time! This great campaign, to save our fellow Artist's minds, has reached even the 4th Dimension. So folks, don't forget to take a break once in a while!
Nice to see ya in the 4th Brad. His return to the Island yields a very practical point. With Brad's help, Mail Artists will be Art Detoxing all over the world. This is a classic postcard and a terrific Fluxus campaign. Thank you very much Brad. What else is he up too? Find out: Live 2B Art.

Heebee Post #316 - ??? - Minneapolis, Minnesota - USA

"The Lost Labor of Hercules" - now playing in the Confuse-A-Tron Lounge, is quite a stage production. Here we see an immodestly attired Herc attempting to be noticed by this humble village girl.
The audience soon turns into a riot of laughter when it is revealed that the young woman is being played by Marty Feldman. The joke is on Hercules when he finds he is even more enamored by her unusual beauty!Wish I knew who the Mail Artist is for this. I did inquire to the email address found on the card. Anyway, thank you very much my anonymous friend and welcome to the 4th Dimension.
